I already agree with Raskolnikov. I am actually trying to write a fanfic about XF3 that includes the supersoldiers, hybrids, bounty hunters, black oil, and rebels but I've added some circumstances like time travelling and some new characters but one new character that could be vital to Mulder, Scully and little William's life. I want William in XF3 too! Now that's the idea but I'm still working on it. ^_^

I'd like to see Mulder and Scully, of course.

Then I'd like to see Doggett and Reyes, because their storyline was dropped in The Truth. I'd like to know what happened with them, what's their life now, etc.

I'd like to see Skinner, Kersh, beatiful Marita Covarrubias and some ghosts of Krycek, CSM and maybe some other beloved villains.

As for the story, I think XF3 should be about the start of the Colonization in 2012. Bring on black oil, hybrids, super soldiers, the rebels and bounty hunters! :) And let the war begin! ;)

i don't think I mentioned this before, but as I was driving home, a thought occurred to me.

What if, in XF3, a side story line, or dare I say cliff hanger ending, is that the junk DNA in all humans turns on.

In short, all of humanity becomes a Gibson Praise.

Now, as to how this junk DNA becomes active is up to the 1013 boys, but it would need to be a global effect, kind of the way Magneto was trying to advance genetic mutation in the first X-Men movie.

That is a great idea ! :)

We have had the same idea a few weeks ago--- :)
A "T-shirt idea" - Everyone can send us a word which you relate with X-Files 3! Maybe words like Believe, Truth etc.Every wort will be printed on the back of the shirt and should reduce the time until 2012

JMHO, but CC and FS should never listen to fans.
They should write whatever dark, twisted little kernel of a story occurs to them and then commit it to film.

I've heard rumors from those brave enough to tell me that the dynamic duo plan to euthanize poor Skinner. While this certainly wouldn't be my first choice, and they may have to enter the witness protection program so I won't find them, they should do it if that's what they want to do.

I want to be surprised. I love surprises.
Mostly. :)

Thankfully, the boys did not write of poor Skinner and changed their mind.

I think the 10-13 gang should do whatever they feel is best for the franchise and the characters. That being said, like the good parents that they are, they listen to their "children" for their input, and then proceed from there. They have been doing that since the series was on in the 90s and will (most likely) continue to do so.

*snicker* Well, we did see the demise of the LGM.... can Skinner be far behind? I'll come hold your hand if it comes to that.

Yes:
1. Gibson Praise!! You could do SO MUCH with that character!
2. Skinner the SkinMan
3. aliens! colonization plans!
4. the following question answered: WHY DOESN'T SCULLY DIE? (reference to eps: Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose and Tithonus)
5. YES to "in-jokes" (e.g. the actress who played Samantha Mulder walking by Mulder/Scully in XF: IWTB was funny!)
6. Some Dogget is a-okay by me
7. Kersh suffering would be welcomed ~EVIL LAUGH~

No:
1. Amanda Peet (I know her character died, but...)
2. No irrelevant, uninteresting characters that detract from the real focus of Mulder and Scully (in other words, don't bother us with irrelevant two young agents, etc.--See Number 1 above)
3. NO, NO, NO dumb gags like panning the camera between two presidents and playing the XF theme. (See number 5 above for comparison between "smart" humor and this latter "dumb" humor.)
4. Agent Reyes (poor Anabeth Gish... she's actually a wonderful actress! But somehow I think the "whale song" sealed her fate with XPhiles) ~MMMMMMhhwwweeeeeeoooooaa!~

Tricky?
William Mulder:
My gut says it would be a disaster to actually show him...
I think it would be too obvious if William Mulder became the saving-grace of the human race from the aliens in Jesus fashion. It seems inevitable that that would be the story-line for XF3... and if so, please at least don't be "too Hollywood" about it!

Oh, I had to sign back in to reply to this post! YES, you're right on the money about incorporating the Sixth Extinction element! When I recently re-watched the series for the upteenth time, I was evermore blown away by the Sixth Extinction story-line. And, yes, some more info on Scully's abduction would be VERY WELCOME.

A friend and I had a discussion during the eternal wait for IWTB to be released about hypothetical scenes that could move the story forward while letting go of part of the mythology that had eclipsed some of the storytelling (our opinion, of course). We had a scene of Mulder reading the newspaper and reporting, "Hey Scully, look at this: The aliens aren't colonizing in 2012 after all!" Then he goes back to reading the paper.

I'm not entirely against a mythology movie, but I'm such a fan of the mood and content of IWTB that I don't want to go into a third film with a lot of high explosive drama, endless running around the globe, and "what-ever-happened-to-so-and-so?" resolutions. I am curious about some of the other characters besides M & S, but to a degree I can make up what might have happened to them in my mind and free up the movie for other things.

I'm also not sure about how to involve William. I thought the acknowledgement of him in IWTB was really well done, but in my eyes he wasn't the be-all end-all of the series. Plenty of other unresolved things happened leading into his story. I always thought Scully's abduction storyline sort of got dropped in the later seasons even though we saw Mulder through to the end with Samantha. I'm not suggesting we go back and revisit the personal ramifications of her abduction, but I don't know how pulling up too much stuff from the series isn't going to be a little contrived. I guess it matters how it's done, and whether it's in keeping with M & S. The same friend with whom I had the Mulder-reading-the-newspaper discussion suggested that M & S could be put in a situation where they had to help William in some way, but he couldn't know who they were, or something like that.

Overall, I'd say a mythology movie would be better in a season three style, when little parts of the plot were emerging, but it wasn't the international, every world leader in the history of the 20th and 21st centuries has know about this, type of plot. My preference would be something season threeish, or something that incorporates the more overt spiritual explorations of the Sixth Extinction trilogy, which would allow us to see how Scully would respond now given her evolving faith and scientific perspectives.

Sorry so long! I can't keep these XF discussions brief.

Good question... What I meant to communicate is that I didn't think the two young agents in XF: IWTB had any meaningful depth sufficient to earn the screen time that they did (despite needing some venue for M & S to be brought into the FBI case). What I should have written is: ..."real focus of characters that we care about." (and yes that includes other characters from the series AND, well, other "outside" characters that are written better and portrayed better).
--- I was writing at 2:30 AM and getting delirious. So thanks for asking. ;-)
