Dates: September 8, 2001 - January 26, 2002
Week ending on January 26th: After last week's unfortunate news...this has been very slow week for news and spoilers.
Week ending on January 19th: Well, it's official, my friends...Chris Carter announced that this Season will definitely be the last one for the The X-Files. :-( After 9 awesome seasons, the Season/Series finale, which will also be the 201st episode will air in May.
From TV Guide News & Gossip Newsletter:
"THE CONCLUSION IS OUT THERE: It's the end of
an era at Fox: The X-Files will not be returning for a 10th season this
fall, the network announced Wednesday. Creator Chris Carter decided to
pull the plug on his long-running UFO saga -- which has seen its ratings
fall this season sans David Duchovny. "It's the ninth inning. We want to
go out on top," he told Variety. "We
wanted to go out as a strong show." It's Carter's
hope that Duchovny will reprise his role as Fox Mulder opposite Gillian
Anderson's Dana Scully for the show's two-part series finale."
Spoilers: Plenty of these this week:
9X9 November 21, 2001: From an anon source:
There's some Doggett backstory where he explains
to Duke Tomasick that he loves him like a father, but that if Duke lies
to him, Doggett will make sure he does hard time. It's unclear from what
we have why Scully is called in to investigate, however she does conclude
that evidence at Doggett's crime scene may have been planted.
November 5, 2001: From Autumn T on AOL:
This episode has to do with a case Doggett worked
on in 1989 when he was a Brooklyn cop. The "Screwdriver Killer" is let
out of prison and Doggett, Scully, and Reyes are investigating. There is
a mystery as to if the man serving the sentence was actually responsible
or some other "bearded man". Either way the guy let out (a cableman named
Fassl) wants to be back in
prison.
Doggett uses the word "partners" to describe
Scully & Reyes.

9x10
November 17, 2001: From Autumn T on AOL:
It is a mythology episode that opens with the
US border patrol chasing someone on a motorcycle in Northern Idaho that
we later find out has rubbings that are like those of the big spaceship
Scully found in Africa.
Ma Scully is in this episode.

9X13 "Audrey Pauley."
Spoilers from The Haven
http://www.idealistshaven.com/havennews/index.html
January 15, 2001, From an anon source
Reyes had made "provisions in her will" as to what was to happen to
her if she was in a near death state. Doggett and Reyes' adopted father
discuss how Reyes saved their lives. Mr. Reyes says "her spirit-that flame
in her eyes, saved my life. I'm not about to sully it by going to against
her wishes." Doggett replies that he wouldn't want him to, but that Monica
saved his life too. He goes on to say that when he lost his son, he didn't
want to live. But then he saw that spark in Monica, her spirit or soul.
It is also unclear in the draft version of the script if the episode ends
with a 'real time' kiss (as in not flashback or dream sequence) kiss between
Doggett and Reyes. There are indications that there is at least one dream
or alternate reality kiss between the two.>>
January 9, 2001, From an anon source
Reyes is hit by a car and "killed". Her consciousness or soul (depending
on the theory) is separated from her body. We get both her experiences
in this other dimension and Doggett's experiences on the other side. He
feels guilty because had he acted on his feelings, she wouldn't have gotten
hit by the car. He's haunted by things left undone. Whether he actually
learns from this or not is left as a tease. There is a sinister angle involving
the hospital and possible involvement in hastening the deaths of the patients.
January 9, 2001, As posted by Autumn T. on AOL
Looks like an episode meant to build up the relationship between Reyes
and Doggett. Reyes is struck by a car after sharing a moment with Doggett.
Everyone thinks she is brain dead, but she's really in some sort of alternate
world with other people who are also in the hospital seemingly brain dead.
Doggett angsts over whether he should have kissed Reyes and tries to get
her back with the help of a woman named Audrey. We find out Reyes was adopted
and how much she helped Doggett over the death of his son. Can he save
Reyes before an evil doctor pulls the plug? Meanwhile Scully spends a lot
of time giving medical advice and looking at MRIs...
---------------------------
9X4 "Hellbound"
September 9, Per Autumn T. on AOL:
The name for this episode comes from a tattoo on the arm of a biker
ex-con type attending group therapy. The tattoo symbolized his previous
behavior. Oddly enough for a MOW type episode no one actually dies in the
teaser, but one of the guys in the group therapy session is having visions
- he sees everyone else skinned alive.
Having these visions is not only unpleasant, but it appears that whoever
has them ends up skinned themselves. The investigation leads Scully to
make a connection with a 1960 case.
September 7, From an Anon Source:
The show opens with a group meeting in a church-- some sort of therapy
session for violent offenders (or so it seems). One of the men who is speaking
is talking about a dream he had, but when the doctor pushes him, he doesn't
really want to discuss the dream. We see the doctor and the people around
him skinned alive. Somehow Monica picks up this case and pursues it on
her own when the man describing his dream in the beginning is found
dead, skinned alive. Scully is pulled in by Monica to follow-up some leads,
making calls (holding William at home while she does it) and a scene at
Quantico. She seems to be in the episode a fair amount. There is one scene
that is reminiscent of the meeting with the retired officer/detective from
Tooms. Same kind of scenario. Scully goes to this retired ME to get his
opinion on a case that occurred back in 1960. This is largely a casefile
with a Monica focus with Doggett providing backup and investigative assistance.

Here are some more spoilers from the "Haven"
December 7, 2001: From an anon source
Comer is another agent. He is in the hospital.
Comer has the artifact (in this case a small piece of metal, it is unclear
if it is
derivative of the artifact from Biogenesis/Sixth
Extinction) and when Monica tries to take it from him, he wont let it go.
Both Scully and Monica hear voices coming and freeze. They cover Comer
with a blanket. Toothpick man, who also has a scene with The Gunmen, instructs
them to step away from the bed, as he enters with a nurse. Toothpick man
further instructs Scully and Monica to leave the room and for the other
FBI Agents who have entered to get him Skinner and Follmer. In a new scene,
Monica bursts into the room, and Agent Comer is dead. Monica says to the
nurse "This man was alive. You saw him. He was
alive." Monica then realizes the artifact is
gone. Monica explains that the artifact is what enabled Comer to be taken
off of life

More from the "Haven"
Agent Leyla Harrison returns for this episode.
While it isn't clear what prompts her to do, she is the one that request
Doggett and Reyes' help, and brings them in on the soon to be 'X-File."
There's a cute scene in what we've scene so far where Gabe Rotten comes
to see Scully, who is at her appartment, with Spanky the cat for Scully
to autopsy. He says he's helping "Leyla", but then corrects himself and
says "Agent Harrison." The script direction indicates that he is "good
looking, (Mulder-ish even?), but showing the after effects of partying
too much in high school." He indicates that Agent Harrison owes him big
time--dinner and a movie.

Comments from Amy on homepage:
"I've added some fairly large spoilers for episode 11. Please note
that these are *early* spoilers from a draft script and things
can and do change before air. My usual plea stands to not read these
if you don't like to be spoiled or you think you might be
upset."
December 4, 2001 From an anon source:
Mulder Scully Spoiler:
There's a character called 'Comer' (in the early draft script peices
we've seen). In a scene with him, Monica and Scully, he says in reference
to 'the ship': "God led them to it. He told them of a miracle child. A
future savior, coveted by forces of good and evil. Who will follow his
father's path, unless his father is put to death. Scully wants an answer
and says: "You told them Mulder was dead--you told the FBI Mulder is dead."
Comer replies "If he's not, they'll kill him. And then give your boy to
the Sons of God. And they will rule the world."
Other Spoilers:
Folmer and the gunmen are in this one. Doggett is seriously wounded,
a concussion to the head, Monica goes to visit and she and the nurse have
a short exchange as to whehther or not Doggett can hear them. The nurse
tells Monica that it's like praying--it can't hurt. Monica says "John"
and then begins to cry as no more words come to her. Skinner interupts
and says "To see him lying here like this, it makes you stop to think the
world would fall apart without him."

No main characters yet in what I've seen from the episdoe script. In one scene, and it's unclear if it's present day, a group of Marine's burst into an abandoned living space. Gunfire follows and a soldier gets hit before he can get to cover. Lt. Col. Josepho is leading the group and they return fire from a small window. The hit soldier dies in Josepho's hands. More men get hit. Josepho gets to the radio and calls in that they are under attack. There's a voice over from the Lt.Col. "It was the end of the beginning or the beginning of the end" at which point the front wall explodes.
Week ending on December 1st:Lots
of news this week thanks to the various spoiler lists still out there:
Reported by a fan on the OS: ''X-Files'' star
sees the ``Light'' for directing debut by Michael Fleming NEW YORK (Variety)
- ``X-Files'' star Gillian Anderson has put up her own money to option
the Elizabeth Rosner novel ``Speed of Light,'' which the actress will adapt
to make her feature directorial debut once she completes her ninth and
final season on the series.
Published by Ballantine, ``Speed of Light'' centers on a young man who lives with his sister in Berkeley and has become an obsessive-compulsive recluse after being brought up by a father shellshocked by his ordeal as an Auschwitz survivor.
He is slowly brought out of his shell by a Latina housekeeper who, to his surprise, has a lot in common with him. She was the lone survivor when her entire Mexican village was obliterated and its inhabitants slaughtered. Meanwhile, the man's sister has gone to Budapest to trace the family's roots and uncovers a horrible secret about her father's time in the concentration camp.
While Anderson has spent nearly a decade on a popular TV series known for its twists and turns, her desire to head into features as a writer and director is surprising. She got a chance to do both on the``X-Files'' episode ``All Things,'' but said it wasn't until she read the novel that she felt the drive to control the way a story was told on the big screen.
``Directing was a transformative experience for
me, one that I really enjoyed,'' Anderson said. ``Then when I picked up
this book and started reading the poetry of her words, I found myself trying
to visualize where the camera should be, the colors of
the characters, the texture of the shots. It
felt so intimate and natural, like I wrote it myself. I took the steps
to option it, something I'd never done before. It's a beautiful piece that
needs to see the light of day, and hopefully I can do it justice.''
Anderson has just begun writing, with hopes of
getting``Speed of Light'' financed when her character, Scully, leaves the
small screen for good in April. She won't play a role in the film but is
hardly giving up acting, as she considers several feature starring
offers.

9x08: Trust No 1
November 16 2001: From an anon source:
In a scene between Scully and 'The Shadow Man',
the shadow man asks Scully for her watch, when she refuses, he tells her
she has to give it to him if she ever wants to see Mulder again, so she
complies. In the same scene there is the following exchange: Shadow Man:
"...I know your blood type, resting heart rate and your childhood fear
of clowns. I know the name of your college boyfriend, your true hair color,
your ATM pin number, favorite charity and pet peeves. I know you spend
too much time alone, and I know one lonely night you invited Mulder into
your bed. (off Scully) I was as surprised as you are."
Week ending on November 10th:Well,
the waiting is over! Season 9 begins tomorrow! And talk of the next X-Files
movie has been the main topic this week: From HOLLYWOOD (Variety) - The
truth is out there -- again."X-Files" creator Chris Carter is in negotiations
with 20th Century Fox to develop a second feature based on his long-running
hit TV series. As with the 1998 film, Carter would write and produce with
Frank Spotnitz.
No cast deals been set. However, the project
is being developed as a stand-alone vehicle for agents Mulder and Scully,
and thus, original series stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson. Both
have indicated a willingness to return for the new picture.
Duchovny is no longer with the Fox series; Anderson
has long expressed her desire to leave the Fox show following the end of
the show's ninth season, which begins Sunday. As a result, the plot of
the picture will likely not be steeped in the elaborate "X"
mythology but instead serve as a stand-alone
feature.
Carter and Spotnitz are expected to begin writing
the screenplay within the next few months. Pending the hiring of a director
(Rob Bowman directed the original) and a greenlight, the picture could
begin shooting by late 2002. It's expected the earliest the
film could be released is Christmas 2003.
The first feature grossed $84 million domestically
and also performed well in home video. Overall, figuring in licensing and
syndication revenue, the "X-Files" franchise has made nearly $1 billion
for Fox's News Corp. parent since the show launched in fall 1993. "The
X-Files" remains Fox's top-rated drama and the No. 2 drama on TV among
the key demo target of adults 18-49.
Spoilers:Not
anything we haven't heard but this was reported on the Studio Briefing
website yesterday. http://studiobrf.newshare.com/
X MINUS X .... The next X-Files movie will not
include the TV show's long-running plot about aliens, the New York Post
reported today (Thursday). The newspaper said that X-Files creator Chris
Carter is close to signing a deal to make the second feature based on the
TV series and intends to star David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson, the
series' original stars, in it. It was not clear whether Robert Patrick,
the new co-star of the television series, would be given any role in the
feature. The Post
quoted Carter as recently saying that he wanted
it to be just a "good scary movie."

Spoilers for episode 9x09 at The Haven http://www.idealistshaven.com/havennews/index.html
November 5, 2001: From Autumn T on AOL:
This episode has to do with a case Doggett worked
on in 1989 when he was a Brooklyn cop. The "Screwdriver Killer" is let
out of prison and Doggett, Scully, and Reyes are investigating. There is
a mystery as to if the man serving the sentence was actually responsible
or some other "bearded man". Either way the guy let out (a cableman named
Fassl) wants to be back in prison. Doggett uses the word "partners" to
describe Scully & Reyes.
---------------------------
Later in the season sketchy info:
Apparently they are going to be bringing back
an old case. A sequel, if you will, like "Tooms" or "Kitsungary" with a
loved villain. Ideas tossed around were Flukeman (they can do without Darin
Morgan in the suit).
These were just throw around suggestions, but
CC and Co. are currently worried about fans leaving the show, so if they
can't bring Mulder, than bring in some old cases that are fan favorites.
These are suggestions for the May sweeps, on
top of the usual finale an mytharc.
Week ending on November 3rd:Nothing
in the news this week as we continue to wait for the premiere next week,
but many a spoilers are floating around! See below!
Spoilers:
9X01
From a fan who saw a screening tape:
New Opening: I'm not sure if I were GA, after
seeing the first two eps, that I'd want my name listed as "STARRING GILLIAN
ANDERSON." For you Skinner fans, he gets his own little badge photo, along
with Reyes. Actually, Gish gets her name listed before Pileggi. Most of
the old opening is gone.
Mulder: Aside from a silhoutte in the shower that looked more female than male, this is all we "see" of Mulder. Well, that and his bags packed out front. And his apartment is empty. HOWEVER, his coat rack and fish have made it over to Scully's home.
Scully: Lose the longer hair GA. And she sure is moving great for a woman who just gave birth. And yes, it picks up within two days of the birth. Read the time stamp. Well, that and the FOX "For Promotional Use ONLY" stamp that pops up periodically. And apparently it was Scully who made Mulder leave cause Kersh told Mulder he'd be killed if he didn't.
Skinner: Looks like he has lost weight. And his hair looks to have a touch of grey in it. He seems to be even lower on the FBI totem pole than last season.
Brad Fulmer (Cary Elwes): Smarmy pr*&k. Grabs Reyes and molests her right off the bat. Very full of himself, and a kiss up.
Reyes: They have her looking suspiciously like Scully. She even wears glasses while sitting at the computer. And her wardrobe is definitely NOT FBI issue. But, she does manage to use Fulmer at one point to stay on the Files. But over all, she now gets on my nerves BADLY.
Ma Scully: Takes care of young William. Doesn't open the door to the Lucy Lawless character, but when she doesn't hear any movement outside the dorr, she swings her wide open. Stupid woman. Look for a lot of her this season.
Shannon (Lucy Lawless): She's definitely there for some T&A mileage as well as a mysterious govt. lab rat role. Her purpose is not clear, but think Alex Krycek with breasts and maybe, MAYBE a soul. She kills a few times, saves Doggett a few times, and offers herself up as scientific proof to Scully. Not that Scully can find anything out of the ordinary with her.
The LGM: They provide the best of these two eps. From Frohike knocking on Doggett's door and answering the "Who is it" question with :Collecting for the unemployeed," to Byers replying to Doggett's "Thanks for investigating this" with "It's not like we have anything better to do," to Langly coming in with a very blue face and saying "Don't ask." Carter and Spotnitz took a very pointed jab at FOX for the demise of The LGM series. And unfortunately, this was one of the BEST moments in the two parter.
Young William: If anybody in fic land has read a series called The Amanda Series (Or ssomething similar. All I recall is the baby's name is Amanda), they may recognize some of the same elements. Namely when his mobile starts to twirl "all by itself." Well, later on in the ep his little finger is pointing at it when it starts to move.
Let me say this, I am not a DD fan. Having said that, it will be a very long season. A really annoying thing is that for most of the episode Doggett refers to Scully as "Dana."

From Haven: October 15, From Autumn T on AOL
(not a direct quote from Autumn):
Doggett's tattoo reads "24th MAU, Lebanon '83.
We Shall Not Forget."
October 13, From an anon source:
Most of the spoilers are about Doggett either
being used as a coyote by the guy who gets him out of jail, or Doggett
trying to figure out his own identity. In the teaser, Doggett wakes up
on the floor of an unknown facility in Mexico. His shoes are in the process
of being stolen by a crackhead. Thecrackhead only gets one before he gets
away. Doggett catches up to him, but
the crackhead yells for the police that Doggett
is actually mugging him. The police end up beating up the crackhead and
tossing Doggett in jail because he has no papers to prove he's American,
etc. When they ask him who he is, he realizes that he doesn't know. The
rest of the spoilers involve him trying to figure out who he is and how
he came to wake up where he did. There are alot of drug trade situations
and references to people acting as coyotes to take illegals up north.
Also, it seems that in this ep, we get flashbacks of his interaction with his son, Luke.
Reyes is on the case, but Scully joins her on the case in Dallas They meet up in a police facility in Dallas. The direction as they exchange "hellos" is: "Scully nods-all rote niceties. Both women are focused utterly on the job at hand-finding Doggett."
October 12, From an anon source:
Doggett appears to have amnesia. He's in a Mexican
jail without any memory of who he is or how he got there when one of the
other "detainees" offers him some advice. Once on the outside, this helpful
soul gets Doggett to work for him moving people across the border.
--------------------------------
9x08
From Anon Sources:
I've only seen two pages from the internet cafe
scene from a source that should be bolstering my faltering faith in the
ship. :)
Anyway, while there is a page missing in between the two I have, it does appear that Scully is being contacted by Mulder. Although it could be anyone sending her mail with the address "Trust No One", it kind of sounds like a Mulder addy to me. Whatever email she gets makes her fairly weepy. But I haven't seen anything that indicates what is in the email.
Also, she asks the coffee house waitress to warm up William's bottle, so those of you who were wondering... makes sense since she's gone back to work, and some moms don't like to combine the two methods.
October 23, From Autumn T on AOL:
"Well, I have some of the script to this one
and it appears to be from what I've seen a Scullycentric outing focusing
on her baby. Scully is seen frequenting an Internet Cafe to access email.
We also discover that she's seen William exhibiting the ability to control
his mobile's movement with his mind. She's being observed by a couple (the
man claims he is with the NSA) who say they have a child with the same
capabilities."
From the Haven:
October 28, 2001: From Anon Sources: Scully is
standing on a train platform waiting to meet Mulder. Unfortunately, Scully
ends up being in the middle of a shoot out between 'The Man on the Street'
and Shadow Man, which causes the train not to stop at the platform, and
for the meeting between Scully and Mulder to be foiled. From the script
"And then it's gone, the train dopplering down the tracks and into the
night. And with it, Mulder. And her chance to see him". Scully goes to
tend The Man on the Street who dies as she holds him, as Doggett and Reyes
approach. Scully finally losses it but she pulls herself out of her grief
shouting "Mulder--we have to warn Mulder".
October 29, 2001: From Anon Sources:
The Man on the Street and Reyes are with Scully
as she's waiting for the train. They are trying to play it down, but they
are together. The Man on the Street comes in last and sprays out the pinhole
cameras so that Mulder wont be picked up by the cameras as he gets off
the train. The Man on the Street is Patti's husband, and he's been looking
for Mulder because their daughter Joy is like William. So, my read is that
Mulder's return is prompted by the questions raised by this man, and Mulder
needs to either give something to him or talk to him directly. And obviously,
he needs to see Scully. I'm sure he's looking for a little Scully lovin',
but it appears he's come back for a reason beyond getting some. Doggett
is not with them when they go to the station. I'm not sure what prompts
him to show up, but he does later and just in time to keep The Shadow Man
from shooting Reyes (and we assume Scully).
October 30, 2001: From Angie:
The Man on the Street and Patti are a married
couple , he supposedly works for the NSA. Scully at some point sees them
arguing on the street. She lets Patti stay on her couch. During the night
Patti gets up and takes William out of his crib. Scully is asleep. Scully
gets a phone call from Doggett, telling her he and Agent Reyes just saw
someone going into her building...about that time she hears a noise and
jumps up. She points her gun at Patti and tells her to put William down,
Patti is scared. There is a knock at Scully's door , she answers it, it
is Dogget , he has TMOTS in a police hold. He asks Scully if she knows
him. Scully is shocked. She obviously knows him as the man arguing with
Patti and comes to the conclusion that it was a set up to get to her and
William. Patti cries and says they were not trying to hurt William but
protect him. TMOTS is upset that his wife is so nervous and begins to explain.
He tells them that he works for NSA and that the name on his drivers license
is fake. He says
that he and Patti have a daughter Joy who is
like William. That he knows that Scully has seen William move his mobile
as if with his mind and his daughter has done the same. He proceeds to
tell them that he went to one of his supervisors with this info on Joy
and William and the supervisor started checking into things, the more he
checked the more he found. However he wouldn't tell him what he had found
except he that there were crimes being permitted. Patti says this is how
they found out about Mulder. Scully asks what they want with Mulder. They
say he is the only one who can make the connections. Patti says maybe Scully
can help them find out what their babies really are. Scully is upset by
this. About this time her phone rings. She answers, it is Shadow man. He
is at a work station in front of computer moniters.
Week ending on October 27th:
Just
in case you haven't heard yet, the Season 9 Premiere has been pushed back
until November 11th because of the World Series and the Emmys. Ok, so this
isn't the first time that we've had to wait longer than expected for the
premiere. The X-Files Offiicial Site has posted the title for episode seven:
"John Doe".

Episode 9X8: From The Haven
http://www.idealistshaven.com/havennews/index.html
October 23, From Autumn T on AOL: "Well, I have
some of the script to this one and it appears to be from what I've seen
a Scullycentric outing focusing on her baby. Scully is seen frequenting
an Internet Cafe to access email. We also discover that she's seen William
exhibiting the ability to control his mobile's movement with his mind.
She's being observed by a couple (the man claims he is with the NSA) who
say they have a child with the same capabilities."
From Anon Sources:
I've only seen two pages from the internet cafe
scene from a source that should be bolstering my faltering faith the ship.:)
Anyway, while there is a page missing in between the two I have, it does
appear that Scully is being contacted by Mulder. Although it could be anyone
sending her mail with the address "Trust No One", it kind of sounds like
a Mulder addy to me. Whatever email she gets makes her fairly weepy. But
I haven't seen anything that indicates what is in the email. Also, she
asks the coffee house waitress to warm up William's bottle, so those of
you who were wondering... makes sense since she's gone back to work, and
some moms don't like to combine the two methods.
Rumors:
Mitch Pileggi's name, and face, appear in the S9 opening credits.
Week ending on October 20th:Again,
another week with no news or spoilers really. I think the war in Afghanistan
and all the acts and threats of terrorism has definitely had an effect
on production/spoilers.
Non-Spoilers:The
word is out that the EIDC has suspended public access to the shoot sheets.
If you happen to work in the industry or if you're in film school, you
can still can go down to Hollywood to get it, but at this point it's probably
not even worth it since security is so tight on every set these days.
Week ending on October 13th:Quiet
week, but Fox is starting to air the Season 9 Promos regularly now. November
4th is coming up soon! Anyone getting as excited as me yet? :-)
Spoilers:
Sorry, nothing new at all. :-(
Week ending on October 6th:I
guess you got your wish... this week all I seem to have is spoilers!

Transcript of a clip from the season premiere
on the Official Site by Angie:
***Skinner's office.***
SKINNER (to Reyes): I don't know where Mulder is. I don't know that I'd tell you if I did.
DOGGETT enters.
REYES (to Doggett): I checked with movers, airlines, car rental agencies... No Mulder.
DOGGETT: Somebody get to him, that it? That doesn't seem possible, does it? (To Skinner) Okay, so where does that leave us? Just me and you, our word against Kersh and the FBI.
REYES: You'd better sit down, John. It's more complicated than that.
DOGGETT: What's more complicated?
REYES: This investigation.
DOGGETT: What about it?
SKINNER: I wanna ask you to drop it.
DOGGETT: No, not from you. Not from you. Not after what we've been through. I mean, we barely escaped with our lives.
SKINNER: That's something worth thinking about.
DOGGETT: I'm sorry, you're not that reasonable. What, did they get to you, too?
SKINNER: No one got to me, John, they didn't have to, that's the point.
DOGGETT: You're afraid of them.
SKINNER: I'm not afraid of them.
DOGGETT: Well, you're afraid of something. What? The real tape showing up, them calling you a killer for you having to shoot Alex Krycek?
SKINNER: No, I'll stand by my actions, Agent Doggett, but I won't stand by yours if you're gonna continue to push and push until you get somebody killed. You wanna know what I fear? I fear for Mulder and Scully. I fear for the life of that child if you don't stop push it, John.
DOGGETT: You don't think I fear for those things, same as you?
SKINNER: If you did, you'd let it go.
DOGGETT: So what I'm hearing is... if I don't drop it, I'm alone on this.
Skinner says nothing.
Doggett sighs. Looks at Reyes, who is also silent.
Doggett leaves the room.

All of the following spoilers are from The Haven
(http://www.idealistshaven.com/havennews/index.html
9x03: Daemonicus
September 26-per Autumn T.
Amy note- this is in reference to a line in a
set report that wasn't heaed
clearly, the correct scripted line follows: "Agent
Reyes told me this guard,
Paul Gerlach, had accessed information about
all of us on the Internet. On
Mulder, too."
September 20-per Autumn T.
Scully does get out in the field for this one.
She's not limited to teaching
her forensics class at Quantico or to doing autopsies.
Unfortunately she ends
up with another bonk on the temple to show for
it when she's the first to
follow up a lead to investigate "Happy Landing".
There is one interesting
scene between her and Reyes as they discuss evil
that seemed was shaded by
Scully's first hand experiences with it.
---------------
9x04: Hell Bound
Hellbound written by David Amman
September 9, Per Autumn T. on AOL:
The name for this episode comes from a tattoo
on the arm of a biker ex-con
type attending group therapy. The tattoo symbolized
his previous behavior.
Oddly enough for a MOW type episode no one actually
dies in the teaser, but
one of the guys in the group therapy session
is having visions - he sees
everyone else skinned alive.
Having these visions is not only unpleasant, but
it appears that whoever has
them ends up skinned themselves. The investigation
leads Scully to make a
connection with a 1960 case.
September 7, From the Official Site:
Monica Reyes takes lead of the investigation
for the fourth episode of Season
Nine
September 7, From an Anon Source:
The show opens with a group meeting in a church--
some sort of therapy
session for violent offenders (or so it seems).
One of the men who is
speaking is talking about a dream he had, but
when the doctor pushes him, he
doesn't really want to discuss the dream. We
see the doctor and the people
around him skinned alive. Somehow Monica picks
up this case and pursues it on
her own when the man describing his dream in
the beginning is found dead,
skinned alive. Scully is pulled in by Monica
to follow-up some leads, making
calls (holding William at home while she does
it) and a scene at Quantico.
She seems to be in the episode a fair amount.
There is one scene that is
reminiscent of the meeting with the retired officer/detective
from Tooms.
Same kind of scenario. Scully goes to this retired
ME to get his opinion on a
case that occurred back in 1960. This is largely
a casefile with a Monica
focus with Doggett providing backup and investigative
assistance

9x05: 4-D
4-D
September 20, From an anon source:
Doggett is shot in this episode. Agent Folmer
takes Agent Reyes into an room
where she's ID for the shooting. Folmer, after
"Lukesh" makes the ID behind a
2-way mirror, asks Reyes for her badge and her
gun. As Doggett recovers,
Lukesh is brought back in for questioning himself.
Skinner and Folmer
question him, but he's unflappable, telling them
that if they're not going to
arrest him he's going home. Skinner and Scully
leave Reyes in a hallway where
she is approached by Lukesh, who basically confesses
to the crimes. As Scully
says that they can't prove that he's guilty,
Skinner has a plan.
September 20, From Autumn T. on AOL:
Episode name is currently "4-D" I have not seen
the whole script like I have
for 9X03. So, as always, I will relay what I
know.
1013 is aware of ther competiton as a stage direction
reads after someone
looks at a ziplock with a tongue in it "As TVs
all across America instantly
switch to "Alias, we..."
The episode seems to have something to do with
Doggett being shot and
immobilized. Skinner also appear to play a prominent
role. Reyes is trying to
stop a killer named Lukesh.
The director listed for 4-D is Tony Wharmby and
the writer is Maeda. It is
scheduled to start shooting on 9/28

9x06: Lord of the Flies
Lord of the Flies
October 3, From an anon source:
Rocky's reply to Scully's "I'm a mother" commment
is that "Mothers are women
too." Scully is sickened to Rocky's advances
according to the direction in
the script.
October 2, From an anon source:
With regard to the entomologist, she's definitely
not having any of his
passes. While the scene is cut into by a revelation
regarding the case, her
direct rebuff is "You know, Rocky... I'm a mother."
October 2, From Autumn T. on AOL:
The teaser has to do with a local cable reality
show and the teaser is shot
in that style. We see "Cap'n Dare" attempt a
stunt for a "Jackass" like show
and suffer an accident.
The investigation of the accident has Doggett
& Reyes calling in Scully after
flies fly out from the dead victim's eye socket.
She has to deal with a
sleazy entomologist named Rocky hitting on her.
Lots and lots of flies.
Week ending on September 29th:It was just another one of those quiet weeks folks...not an XF related news flash or spoiler out there. :-/ Let's hope for something next week!
Week ending on September 22nd:Well,
there's no news to report, but a few spoilers have come in...
Spoilers:
From aint-it-cool-news.com:
The secrecy around the role to be played by Lucy
Lawless is not because of her specific role in the show, which will be
somewhat frequent, but because of the stunning results of her character.
Lucy Lawless will play a shadow character, a new emmisary of the Cancer
Man, William B. Davis. A new Krychek if you will. Her first appearance
will lead to CM's reappearance at the end of the second episode. Not sure
where this storyline will lead, but I am positive that the Cancer Man is
back on the show.
