David Duchovny X-Files press conference, Century City, Los Angeles, USA – 10 Jan 2018
And I feel like just this year, I’ve developed a whole new appreciation for the uniqueness of what people always ask me about and referred to, “What about your chemistry,” and, you know, “You got chemistry,” you know? But it was it’s special. And it’s a chemistry that often there are elements of it that show up when we’re, you know, side by side doing interviews, but most of it shows up
– “Not right now, but …” David quips, humorously, and Gillian smirks to continue.
XFN was in attendance at the FOX winter TCA panel for The X-Files with Gillian Anderson, David Duchovny, Mitch Pileggi, Glen Morgan, James Wong, and Darin Morgan. A lot was discussed including Gillian’s thoughts on why this is truly her last run as Dana Scully and her appreciation for the character and the Mulder and Scully relationship. Read the full panel notes here.
Read this. Trust me David and Gillian are all about the banter. Still teasing and poking fun at their own chemistry. Honest, witty. So them. I love ‘em! 🙂
They did the TCA for season 10 and they taped dozens on joint interviews, a photoshoot and many articles. This is the best way to promote the season all along ‘cause the articles and interviews will be distilled during the 8 next weeks for sure. This is very good news even if right now, it’s frustrating.
I know that’s how everybody understood it but it when I read the tweet I thought he just said that The X-Files could continue to exist with or without THEM (which is utter bs but still is different than what you said). It didn’t occur to me that he was saying he would do more without Gillian. It seemed to me that he said if she was up to do more, he’d be okay with it and if she really wanted to stop, he’d be okay with it too.
I could have misunderstood his words, though.
All in all, Chris expressly said there won’t be more without Gillian, so there’s no real question here.
I don’t want to worry about Scully’s ending either because who knows what Gillian could have wished for. Actors are odd sometimes. Just like David wished Hank Moody died at the end of Californication, who knows if Gillian didn’t wish for Scully’s death and it’s not happening and that’s why she isn’t happy with it? The way we see the ending of the show and the way she sees it could be totally different.
The Fox TCA were on January 4th and 5th if I remember correctly, but the X -Files panel did happen yesterday. It was live tweeted and Gillian and David were there yesterday, not before. I’m not sure why it happened later, but it happened and it’s all that matters 🙂
