"X-FILES: COMPLETE COLLECTOR'S EDITION"

I was wondering if you have any additional information on the "Complete X-Files Collection" that is being released in a few months. Is this set going to contain the original Collector's Sets of each season or the re-released sets from last year?

I don't have any specific information, but the press release from 20th Century Fox can be read at www.tvshowsondvd.com/newsitem.cfm?NewsID=7850.

HUNGRY FOR MORE

I am a recent fan of "The X-Files." I happened upon the episode "The Truth" about a year ago while switching channels, and this man and woman were locked in a passionate kiss. Needless to say, I had to watch the rest of the episode, and that led to my buying all nine seasons of the show on DVD. I went through them like someone who'd been in a desert for twenty years; I soaked it up! Now, I am hungry for new material. Fortunately, "X-Files 2" will quench my thirst next summer. As someone drawn to the show initially because of the romantic aspect, I sincerely hope you'll give fans like me the passionate moments you provided us in "The Truth." I guarantee you women will show up multiple times to see it!
I wish you all the best in this and other writing endeavors!

WHO KILLED IRENE KOLCHAK?

I have a few questions regarding the ABC series "Night Stalker." I was wondering how the plotline was going to end. I understand that there is an episode titled "The Sea, Part 2." Was that episode ever made or did ABC back out before it was ready? Honestly I would like to know if it was werewolves who killed his wife, Carl himself, or something else. Also is there even a chance that the Sci-Fi Channel will ask for new episodes?

I don't expect any new episodes of "Night Stalker" will be produced, but the answers you're looking for -- as well as part two of "The Sea" and three other never-aired episodes -- can be found on the "Night Stalker" DVD.

"TRIANGLE" MUSIC FOUND

I recently read an inquiry on your blog about the music from the "X-Files" episode, "Triangle." I, too, have been searching over the years for that piece of music. After reading the blog, I endeavored to find out the truth -- finally. I now have the cue sheet from the episode. And if you would kindly pass along the information on your blog, I think it will finally put to rest the mystery of whether it's John Williams.
The cue sheet list is as follows at this point in the show:
"Rumble in the Ballroom" - composer Mark Snow
**"Hot Liquorice" - composer Dick Walter
"Ghost Dance" - composer Mark Snow
So it looks like Mark, ever the master, wove several pieces together for this exhilarating sequence. Hopefully one day, he will release more of his music to the public. My "XF" CDs are wearing out. :)

FROM ARGENTINA, WITH LOVE

I'm not quite sure of the purpose of this message. I guess that it's my way of saying "thank you." I mean I could tell you my story about how much I enjoy(ed) "The X-Files" through the years (just FYI, I'm 20 years old and I've watched "The X-Files" since, let's say, '97), or about how impressed I am by the fact that the show that you helped to build still has this effect on people (I mean since DD's declaration about "XF2," forums all over the world have been buzzing about it).
However, sometimes it's better to just say what you want to say, and for me it is a big, plain THANK YOU for making it possible. Just that. I hope that fate will bring us together someday so I can buy you a pint, like a good ol' non "e-thank you" must be done.
I do not expect an answer, but I have to admit that a simple "Your e-mail has been read" would be memorable :P

PS 1: I know, I know, it's maybe too much to ask, but if it works, it works! I need you to tell Mrs. Gillian Anderson that here in Buenos Aires, a 20-year-old dude falls for her every year, year and a half. It's maybe kind of awkward, but wouldn't you do the same if you had the chance to declare yourself to your "teenager media love?" The 13-year-old dude that I keep inside would be endlessly grateful. And with the thought, "OK, she knows now," I can die happy :D
PS 2: Sorry for my lousy English.
PS 3: Thanks again for your work and I will be expecting "XF2."

COMMENTARY COMMENT

Having developed something of an addiction to audio commentaries, I was delighted to discover the podcasts provided at the "Night Stalker" page of the Sci Fi Channel website offering extra insights into "The Five People You Meet in Hell" and "Three" on top of those on the DVD. I particularly enjoy their style in offering insights into the writing process and structuring and such, rather than some from other series' which can sometimes be a little more bland and shallow. So I was wondering, are there any plans to perhaps pick up on these again and record some more podcasts for any of the remaining six episodes?
Maybe even delve back a bit further and shed some light on the mysteries facing Tom Hobbes and friends in "Ten Percenters," the devlish torment of Frank Black in "Seven and One," or the evil presented to Doggett, Scully and Reyes in "Daemonicus" -- but now I'm just getting greedy!

Thanks, Aaron. At present, there are no plans to record additional commentaries for "Night Stalker" or any of the other series you mentioned.
