The X-Files Fanbook Project Danascully1988 (Laura Logan), Scotland I first watched the X-Files when I was 5 or 6. My brother used to watch and I still remember seeing bits when I re-watch them today. My first proper memory was when I was 10, sitting up late, when I should have been asleep, flicking through the channels on my little TV. I came across The X-Files Fight the Future on channel 4 - the scene with the big corn fields, the helicopter chase scene. Then, I started watching it when it aired on BBC1 and 2 in 2000. My first episode was "This is not Happening." I started to invite my mates, who I converted into Philes with my obsessing over the program. It became a weekly thing, right up until The Truth. I then proceeded to write my own version - The X-Files Younger Years. I was 14 years old. We'd rehearse, me and my mates. It was brilliant. I had my hair identical to Scully, same color, same style. I was Uber-Scully. The X-files made me believe in all things paranormal :D I'm a die hard Shipper :D I love the conspiracy storyline - the aliens, the crazy creatures, that only Chris and his crew could come up with. I love the fact that I share my obsession 8 years since "The Truth" and with so many Philes like myself. It makes me feel happy, involved, part of something more than just one person on this lonely planet. Gillian is my favorite actress. She has given me the courage and the inspiration to fight many demons in my life. Is there anything you wish would've taken place that didn't? The only thing I wish that had taken place but didn't was with the ending. "The Truth" should have never been the end. The X-Files should have never ended. I'm annoyed that there are all these imitation programs on TV today that try to be The X-Files, but are not. But, I guess, us Philes keep the X-Files alive and in that sense it will never end. Who's your favorite character/characters? and why? I have been asked a few times to decide who is my favorite character and I still have not made a decision. They all play a huge part in making The X-files what it was and is. But if I had to choose, it would be Mulder and Scully, just because without them The X-Files would not be. Do you prefer mythology or monster-of-the-week? I liked the Mythology. I hope XF3 is mythology. I liked the odd Monster-of-the-week thrown in to for some variety. I loved the suspense of having to wait a week for the conclusion. What are your favorite episodes/story lines? I love them all, but the one's that stick in my head are: "Irresistible", "Squeeze/Tooms'', "Bad Blood", "Syzygy", "Redux I & II", "This is not happening", "DeadAlive." It's so hard to pick my best. Those are the favorites that pop into my head. Are you an advocate for the Mulder/Scully romantic relationship? Or are you opposed to it? I'm a definite advocate for Mulder and Scully's relationship. I loved to watch it develop. As it developed between them, our relationship with the programme developed. I love the pure love and strength that they showed, taking 9 years for them to realise that they were soul mates. I hated the relationships that sprung up from the past etc. but I suppose it all added towards the Mulder/Scully relationship as it is now. Are you a believer or a skeptic? I am a believer. I'm like Mulder in that sense but I also like to see proof, but sometimes there is no proof at all and there is no other explanation. I believe that Earth cannot be the only planet with life out of all the galaxies. I believe in ghosts and have experienced things in live for which I have no other explanation. Scully's cancer. I have just started to watch season 4 and I think that going back to her abduction and exploring the cancer affecting other women kind of merges the story together. Her illness gives us a chance to see Mulder and Scully at their weakest. I have invested in a box of tissues for the upcoming episodes. Mulder's abduction. Well I think it was a very good storyline, but not for the Scully pregnancy story to run with it. I would have loved to see them together through that, so their relationship could be more than what is was when he was returned. But it was a very hard storyline to watch too, seeing Scully so alone, hurting. Seeing Mulder being tortured was hard to watch. Agent Doggett and Agent Reyes. At first I thought they were going to make Doggett another Mulder and I hated his intrusion to start with, but I grew to love him. Reyes is cool. I love her wackiness and her energy was refreshing. Baby William. This is the story I have the hardest time wrapping my head around. I don't think I cried so much in any episode. It left me feeling drained and exhausted. I never thought Mulder should have left and I don't think Scully should have given William up. That was a sad day indeed. I do hope he comes back for XF3. The Lone Gunmen. The LGM, well what can I say. These guys were amazing. Frohike is soooo cute love him almost as much as Mulder and Scully. I never had the opportunity to watch their stand alone series but I may just do so in the future. They were the only allies Mulder and Scully had. They gave them support and they were sooo funny. I only wish Mulder had been at their funerals. I have since joined several websites: X-FU, X-Filesnews, I have joined Facebook Groups, added all the Philes I can find, my Twitter is dana scully. I would love for us to all meet and go to The XF3 Premier and have a Phile of a time. I love talking about it. It makes me smile to know there are so many Philes like myself who still follow the way of the Phile. When I watch the X-Files, I feel like all my problems are non-existent - like I am a part of the X-Files in so many ways. It may be over but it is us, the Philes, who are the ever still beating heart of The X-Files. I have a son Cameron WILLIAM Logan, obviously, and a daughter Robyn Logan. The X-Files gives me something to do when they are tucked up at night, all sleeping and cozy. I cannot thank the cast and crew enough. I think I would love to meet them and thank them personally (who wouldn't). I love you guys so much. Thank you for keeping me entertained, scared, sad, and most of all thank you for completing me. I have so many friends who I now know because of this programme. This is my religion. I will bring my 2 kids up to love the show as much as I do. I will always love you guys. I have started a petition for The X-Files 3, we want you to know we are still out here, waiting for 2012. Laura.
