Yes, from the OS

The characters dwell in a world that has been decimated by newly awakened fire-breathing dragons. "Matthew originally loved the role of Van Zan, because it allowed him not to be a nice guy, not to be the guy in The Wedding Planner," Bowman said. "It let him bring out the more primal aspects of his acting, and he wanted to explore that. He wanted to create a character who'd found a mindset that enabled him to look in the mirror and say, 'The dragons are afraid of me.' It sounds unstable and insane, but at the point in the story where Van Zan comes in, the world is in trouble and someone's got to say, 'I can tame a lion with my bare hands.' Somebody has to do that, or we'll be extinct, and it's Van Zan who does that. So what you've got is Matthew playing Van Zan as primal and 'kill, kill, kill,' but the guy is also incredibly brave and careful and methodical. So far as Christian, he's a very internal actor, and Quinn holds a lot on the inside. He's got a lot of apprehension, fear and ghosts and is deeply affected by the fact that he's the one who unfortunately opened the door for the first dragon. Quinn doesn't want to engage [the dragons], he just wants to preserve life. He knows that engaging the dragons means there will be a body count, and there aren't enough bodies left to gamble like that.

"What we had to do was create two diametrically opposed philosophies that were both right," Bowman said. "It's like watching a good prosecutor and an equally good defense attorney standing in front of a jury. They both state their case, and they both make sense. The trick for us was to get the audience to go back and forth with Matthew and Christian, to get you to think, 'He's right,' and then, 'He's right.' In the end, they both had to be correct, so the engine that drives the movie is the debate between Matthew and Christian. You'll believe their arguments, and you'll also believe them physically, that they could overcome impossible circumstances." Reign of Fire opens July 12.

But for some reason, the show's images escaped notice in the months following the real-life attacks—something that mystifies one of the show's writers, longtime X-Files producer Frank Spotnitz. It wasn't until the industry newsletter The Myers Report ran a story about the show this week that it caught the notice of TV Guide.

"I know! That's what I've been wondering," Spotnitz told TV Guide. He, Vince Gilligan and John Shiban wrote the episode. "I thought, 'Nobody noticed!' I guess so few people saw the show. But it's strange, too, because that was the pilot, and the ratings were actually quite good for [that episode], and yet we didn't hear anything."

Myers Report columnist Ed Martin wrote that "this seems to be collective amnesia of the highest order. The final act of the Gunmen pilot, which seemingly made no impact last year, now contains some of the most deeply disturbing images ever created for an entertainment program," according to TV Guide.

"I woke up on Sept. 11 and saw it on TV, and the first thing I thought of was The Lone Gunmen," Spotnitz told TV Guide. "But then in the weeks and months that followed, almost no one noticed the connection. What's disturbing about it to me is, you think as a fiction writer that if you can imagine this scenario, then the people in power in the government who are there to imagine disaster scenarios can imagine it, too."
