I watch a frame of the show and am instantly transported to heaven. I will be forever grateful to you and everyone involved in making the show. From the depths of my soul, Thank you!!!

Once upon a time, there was this girl.  She had just graduated from high school and was very uncertain of how her life was going to pan out.  You see, this girl suffered from social anxiety.  So much that she couldn't even call and order a pizza because it meant she had to talk to a http://www.biglight.com/blog/2008/05/how-x-files-saved-my-life.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Frank Spotnitz)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7931278.post-4433439639183118314Thu, 08 May 2008 18:50:00 +00002008-05-08T12:10:31.301-07:00I recently went to New York City for a business trip and conveniently also found the time to visit the ComicCon, which was wonderful since you gave us so much of your time and were so patient and friendly throughout the whole autograph signing and the Q&A session. And back home I now just remembered your and Chris Carter’s words that you sometimes asked yourselves whether it was all worth it.

I grew up watching this show, now I'm 21 and I still love it.

We can't wait to see the movie! It will only be released here July 30, so I'm travelling all across France and Belgium to see it in Germany on July 24! But afterward, most of the French fans will gather in Paris for our national release.

It's like a dream come true... finally, after all these years. Let's say, "We never gave up on a miracle!" ;-) My question is, are there any plans to stop by in Germany while doing promotion for XF2, or maybe plans to have the European premiere over here?

Of course, the movie has a title already, "I Want To Believe." Do you know about this? Maybe the movie will have a different title in Japan. I would like to know what you think about this.

We recognized one other from the German community and saw each other face to face for the first time. It was really funny. And we were at FedCon, the biggest SciFi Convention in Europe, in Bonn.

But not from me :)))) That's why I'm feeling like I have to send it, so that you know there's one more person appreciating every huge and every tiny thing you and Chris do for us and for "The X-Files!"

At this moment, we don't really know if we will be hearing our beloved Benjamin Völz as the German voice of Mulder. But we're doing everything we can. We are fighting and maybe there is hope. ;-) Here in Germany, we've heard that 20th Century Fox http://www.biglight.com/blog/2008/05/philes-in-germany.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Frank Spotnitz)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7931278.post-951093223885292419Tue, 29 Apr 2008 20:28:00 +00002008-04-29T13:29:25.556-07:00I know this is premature, but I wanted to ask you, Chris, and Fox to put as many cut scenes, moments, etc. into the DVD "extras" section as you can!  I wish XF2 could be three hours!  I've waited so long to see these characters again, and I want as much of them as I can get.  Saying that, I realize you have strong time constraints -- so, anything you have to take out of the movie, just put in on http://www.biglight.com/blog/2008/04/dvd-extras.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Frank Spotnitz)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7931278.post-3894794012836239849Tue, 29 Apr 2008 17:33:00 +00002008-04-29T17:37:55.404-07:00I am a big fan of "Night Stalker."

I don’t know if you will ever be able to grasp the impact your work on "The X-Files" has had on my -- and many others' -- life.

As a reader and a writer, "The X-Files" means so much to me beacuse I understand it as a story. For me watching the show was (and still is) like reading the most delicious book. It's a pleasure.

First of all, let me say how great it is to see this blog up and running again, after many months of silence. I've been a fan of "The X-Files" since the first episode. It started over here a year or so, after it premiered in the U.S. I remember reading in the newspaper about this new show which was sort of "The Twilight Zone meets Twin Peaks," and those being two of my http://www.biglight.com/blog/2008/04/little-happiness.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Frank Spotnitz)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7931278.post-5228561919939903051Mon, 28 Apr 2008 16:38:00 +00002008-04-28T09:40:51.856-07:00I just want to say thank you. "The X-Files" pretty much kept me sane in my high school years. I looked forward to it every week. I was very much a loner. My home life was horrible. It really made me happy to watch the show every week. No matter where I was everything stopped for "The X-Files." It made me feel like no matter how hard life was I should never give up hope. It probably sounds weird http://www.biglight.com/blog/2008/04/never-give-up-hope.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Frank Spotnitz)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7931278.post-1970319143138698736Fri, 25 Apr 2008 21:49:00 +00002008-04-25T15:06:17.760-07:00 I just wanted to e-mail and let you know how much I thoroughly enjoyed attending the "X-Files" panel at NY Comic Con.  It’s thrilling to know that the truth is indeed about to be back out there again for all of us!  It was also a pleasure to meet you and Chris beforehand at the autograph session, and I’m sure that every fan in that line appreciated how friendly and patient you were with everyonehttp://www.biglight.com/blog/2008/04/thrilled.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Frank Spotnitz)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7931278.post-6993202479749374445Fri, 25 Apr 2008 21:41:00 +00002008-04-25T14:48:29.409-07:00First and foremost, thank you for this blog 'cause the idea of being able to communicate in any way with you is just incredible. Second of all, a big "thank you" is not enough to describe how -- and I believe I speak on behalf of all Philes out there -- excited, thrilled and at awe we feel about the second movie.

It's such a comfort to know that even when the sky is falling, you are always out there for us. It's been 10 years now since I found "The X-Files" and, accidentally, it turned out to be the most powerful, widely understood inspiration that I've ever experienced getting from anybody or anything.

For me it's like the best present, since I heard the second "X-Files" movie is coming! My first thought was, "Oh my God, it's so great!" This title -- these words -- mean so much for the show.
