Week ending on August 25th:Nothing but spoilers this week! And I would have those if I didn't lose all my files on my computer due to a virus. :-(
Spoilers: Check back again later this week for spoilers...I'm still working on restoring some files.

Week ending on August 18th:Nothing major to report.
Spoilers:Someonecaught filming one day this week and found out some cool stuff:
They were filming Lucy Lawless entering the FBI Lobby
Robert Patrick going through the check point at the FBI lobby.
They then shot the teaser with the character of "Wormus" where he is offering Lucy Lawless's character a drink.
Lucy is the 'creature' that lives underwater.
Cary Elwes (I asked him how to pronounce that to clear up all confusion for us all -- its El-wez, just like it sounds) characters name is Assistant Director Bradley Fullmor (Sp?).
They also shot the scene where Reyes is playing with Brad's mind.
They are shooting Dogget, Reyes, Skinner and Lawless (I forgot her characters name) in Redondo Beach at a water plant the next few days.
Lucy's hair doesnt look like it did when she was XENA - It is thinner and straighter.
Reyes has a scene with The Lone Gunmen!
Oh and for anyone wondering -- Scully isnt in this episode much.... Gillian already shot her two days of filming and is done for the week.

Week ending on August 11th: Guess what...another new character has been added to the show: From Yahoo News, Cary Elwes has joined the cast of "The X-Files." He will play the recurring character of FBI assistant director Brad Follmer, ex-boyfriend of special agent Monica Reyes (Annabeth Gish), inthe 20th Century Fox TV drama, which also stars Gillian Anderson and Robert Patrick. "It's not just adding a terrific actor, it's adding somebody of a certain stature to the show," creator/executive producer Chris Carter said of Elwes' signing. He said the producers' goal was to cast someone very different from special agent John Dogget (Patrick). "(Follmer) is a guy who is a little more buttoned up, a little more polished; he represents a different kind of FBI," Carter said.
Spoilers: The following are more spoilers for 'Nothing Important Happened Today.' August 11, 2001. From Agent1285 on AOL: Additional stage directions were included in the original spoilers from Agent1285, but without the accompanying context of where they fit in with the script, they didn't make sense, so we've only included the summary information, which is missing quite a few scenes, even from the pieces of the script that have surfaced:
Agents begin their day - Scully in first scene
Cut to a naked Reyes.
Reyes sits up AWAY FROM CAMERA, letting the sheets fall from her naked, athletic body...
Her telephone rings and she answers the call It is AD Follmer. He wants a meeting.
We cut to: John Doggett making himself a poptart for breakfast.
LATER:
The meeting between Follmer and Reyes: "We see her awkwardness, though it can't dampen her bright spirit." He calls her into his office, he kisses her. She pulls away.
Reyes: We're at work.
Follmer: You used to ask me to close the door in our office back in
New York
Reyes: Is there anything else you wanted to see me about, Brad?
Follmer: Yeah. It doesn't take a whole lot of investigation to figure out why you're in Washington, DC, Monica.
He inserts a videotape. John Doggett appears on the screen. Follmer is holding a second video tape.
Cut to:
Doggett: That's what you're afraid of? They'll say you murdered him?
Skinner: That's what I think the real tape will show, if they were to continue and somehow uncover it.
Doggett: I think the tape will show there were extenuating circumstances.
Skinner says nothing. The scene fades as Skinner "stares down at the gun on his desk".
LATER:
Monica and Brad are sharing a drink at a bar, talking about how they're not avoiding each other.
Monica: Those tapes you pulled outta your desk drawer weren't exactly Pamela and Tommy Lee, were they?
Monica smiles. "A smile that makes you wonder if the newest addition to the XF might have a secret appreciation for Agent Mulder's bottom drawer porno stash."
LATER, talking about Reyes move to D.C:
Reyes: You know me, where my interests lie. It was my dream assignment. Not to mention how excited I was about being up here in DC. She gives him a sultry look over her martini as she downs it.
Follmer: You just got here.
Reyes: Yeah. Unless, of course, you got something else in your drawers that'd give us a good reason to keep this investigation alive

Week ending on August 4th: The Biggest news is that... Lucy Lawless, the actress best known as Xena: The Warrior Princess, has signed on for a multi-episode gig on the upcoming season of ``The X-Files (news - Y! TV).'' She is set to appear on the show's first two episodes. There's a chance she could do more episodes, though nothing's been decided yet.
------------------
THE PREMIERE GETS A NAME
Season Nine opens in two parts, with both episodes written by Chris Carter & Frank Spotnitz. The first show, entitled "Nothing Important Happened Today," is directed by Kim Manners and will debut on Sunday, Nov. 4th at 9PM/8C. It will also feature the debut of the character played by Lucy Lawless. Its conclusion, untitled 9X02, is directed by Tony Wharmby and will air on Nov. 11th.
-------------------
From an artilce on the AP wires By Marilyn Beck and Stacy Jenel Smith: If you're a twin about 2 months old, the "X-Files" may have a job for you. Seriously, folks, casting forces on the show are looking at tiny sets of twins to play the newborn baby of Scully (Gillian Anderson) -- described as a possibly recurring role -- next season.
-------------------
From screwball: Dean Haglund was at Comic-Con International in San Diego last week, and I had the good fortune to chat with him briefly. He says that there is talk of completing _The Lone Gunmen_ cliffhanger on _The X-Files_ (although how is
anyone's guess).

Spoilers: Are you ready? The spoilers are starting to come in now!
Spoilers for season nine from the Haven (note, Amy is sorting spoilers as either M/S or Next Gen)-
From Anon Sources and Autumn T. on AOL: Please note, these are from early drafts of the script and may change:
Mulder and/or Scully Spoilers:
The script has a scene in Scully's apartment with a man, described in the script as having "brown hair", taking a shower (he is seen behind the pebbled glass). Scully, comforting William, closes the door to the shower "to keep the man in the shower from hearing the baby cry as she tries to calm it". As Scully calms the child, she walks into the living room where there a half a dozen packed suitcases. In a later scene a sheepish Doggett appears at Scully's apartment. She tells him the baby's schedule has her up every two hours feeding. Doggett explains that he needs her help. It is unclear where 'Shower Man' (Amy note: in my happy little world, and until I hear otherwise, 'Shower Man' is Mulder) is at this time.

TNG Spoilers: (From Autumn T) They sort of start Act 1 with us seeing Scully, Reyes, and Doggett start their day. The Deputy Director of the EPA appears to have driven his convertible off a bridge and it is being investigated by an A.D. Brad Follmer who has ties to Reyes (Very apparent as he surprises her with a kiss in his office). Skinner has a meeting with Reyes and Doggett in which it is revealed that he is afraid of folks finding out that he's murdered someone.
------------------------------------------
From Anon Sources:
Please note, these are from early drafts of the script and may change. Please also be advised, if you are a shipper, you may want to let Season Eight be the end of the road for you:

Mulder and/or Scully Spoilers: The script has a scene where Doggett calls out Mulder's name searching for him, in what could be Mulder's apartment, which was unlocked. In response to his call to Mulder, Scully replies from inside, "He's Gone," through her sobs. Doggett "holds her wishing he could be the man to save her from this pain. Wishing away his own pain at knowing he isn't."

Week ending on July 28th: Here's some exciting news!:
<<After the success of the first three seasons of the award-winning television show The X-Files on DVD, Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment has decided not to mess with a formula that works. The X-Files: The Complete Fourth Season will come this November from the studio. Season Four picks up right where the previous season ended protecting a mysterious man who may hold all the secrets from the elusive alien bounty hunters. The season includes many of the show's finest episodes and comes to a fierce finale as Scully must confront the men who assigned her to The X-Files and learn their true motives. "The X-Files: The Complete Fourth Season" will follow the format of the previous box sets very closely, but will contain a few pleasant surprises. All twenty-four episodes from the 1996-1997 season in their original fullscreen aspect ratio and Dolby Surround audio. Other added features include nine deleted scenes, six different interviews, dialogue in foreign languages, the new documentary The Truth About Season Four, spots from the FX cable channel, special effects clips, 48 on-air promos and the new DVD-ROM game, entitled Urbs Tertia. Other extras unique to this set include audio commentaries on the episodes "Small Potatoes" and "Memento Mori" which includes a never-before-seen kiss between Mulder and Scully. An alternate audio clip will also be accessible for the episode "Home" which was originally edited for broadcast. The viewer can choose to listen to the episode with the originally recorded audio or the televised version. The set will be available on November 13th, just in time for the beginning of the ninth and possibly final season of the series. Pick it up for $149.98 and watch the conspiracy grow.>>

Week ending on July 21st:   A lot of news this week, so let's get to it: According to the Hollywood Reporter, Chris Carter is sticking around for a ninth season with The X-Files. He will continue to serve as showrunner alongside his seasoned team of executive producers, Frank Spotnitz, Vince Gilligan and John Shiban. Carter is said to have wrestled with the decision on whether to commit to running the show or to segue into a consultant role. But after lengthy negotiations, 20th and Carter finalized a new one-season deal late last week. "Chris has so many ideas for this show as we go forward," Fox Broadcasting Co. president of entertainment Gail Berman said. "Chris and Frank and John and Vince are the life and breath of this series. We are thrilled that he is coming back with his team in place."
From TV Guide: Fox chairman Sandy Grushow was asked whether X-Files G-woman Gillian Anderson would pack it in next year when her contract expires. "Gillian's contract is for next year, [and] whether she continues on into the future, we don't know at this point," he responded. Grushow also hinted that there is a shocking Sixth Sense-type twist planned this season involving Scully's newborn. "Pay attention to Scully's baby," he teased. "[It's] a very important part of what's to come."
Next, Fox announced their fall line-up premiere dates and The X-Files will premiere on November 4, 2001! Filming begins on August 13th.
And finally, from an anon source: Please note, these are *very* early spoilers and can easily change before an episode hits the air: New FBI Agent: Male, mid 30's- early 40's. Attractive, charming, sharp, can be no-nonsense. He's very political, perhaps arrogant at times, and a good challenge to Agent Doggett. He and Agent Reyes were once romantically involved. In his current efforts to rekindle that relationship, he finds that she is no longer interested. It's rumored that this will be a recurring character.

Week ending on July 14th: Not much, except... Now, there are rumors going around that quote David Duchovny as willing to return to The X-Files next season, as a guest only. Supposedly this is all because of the not so good box office returns from his latest movie,  "Evolution". I guess time will tell on that matter. The X-Files didn't get nominated for anything major for the upcoming Emmy Awards this year. :-( The nominee's were announced earlier this week.

Week ending on July 7th: It's been reported all over the news this week that next season will be Gillian Anderson's last.  She's been quoted as saying that she will not come back for a 10th season mainly because she wants to spend time with her seven year old daughter, Piper. Of course, this comes as no surprise to us, we've known for a while that she has been ready to move on with her career. Her contract does expire at the end of next season but whether or not there will even be a 10th season is not yet known. Basically nothing has been confirmed yet...Gillian's manager, Connie Freiberg, has only said that Gillian is keeping her options open.

Week ending on June 30th: Denise Crosby may return again as Dr. Mary Speake when The X-Files returns for its ninth season this fall, the actress told Sci-Fi Wire. She's not sure about the plot points, but that's to be expected on this show. :-)  Also, word is out now that Jennifer Beals (Flashdance ) could have been up for the role of Agent Dana Scully. :-O She's been quoted saying that David Duchovny once had a crush on her, so he put in a good word for her. She also said that although she loves the show and Gillian Anderson's portrayal of Scully, that she couldn't imagine ever playing that type of character...actually, neither can I...Yikes! :-)

Week ending on June 23rd: Still quiet, as usual, this time of year. Anyone interested in a summer Role-playing game on Sunday nights after the show? Meet us here in the LA-X-Files chatroom following our regular post-episode chat, Sundays at 10:30pm.

Week ending on June 16th: Not much this week. But Robert Patrick took home the Best Actor award at theSaturn Awards this year! Congratulations Robert!

Week ending on June 9th: Well, it's been confirmed by none other than David Duchovny himself on several of his interviews promoting "Evolution"... He's not returning to the The X-Files next season at all...not even for cameos, as previously reported. He's just ready to move on. So let's wish him good luck...he'll definitely be missed. On a happy note, he did say that he was still interested in starring in the next X-Files movie though!

Week ending on June 2nd:   David Duchovny's new movie, "Evolution" opens this coming Friday!

Week ending on May 26th: Well, no more new episodes for a while. :-(  But FX is having another X-Files Marathon on Memorial Day! The X-Files from A-Z airs from 11am-12:00 midnight...don't miss it!

Week ending on May 19th: Well, the news is in! With the finale airing this Sunday, Fox has made it official now...The X-Files will return for a 9th Season, but unfortunately, without David Duchovny apparently. :-( They say that he will probably do some cameo appearances, but that's about it. So all of you Agent Reyes fan look out...Annabeth Gish becomes a regular now. Should be an interesting season, to say the very least. :-/

Week ending on May 12th: Wow, only 2 more episodes await...It's been a hell of a season, hasn't it? No news this week, but now that I'm back online I'll be able to update this page regularly again.
No More Spoilers ...at least for the rest of this season. :-)

Note: There were no News updates throughout the month of April 2001.
