Trust no one and especially not Google translation!

Skinner’s line “Es heißt, sie wollen mehr Leute an dem Krieg beteiligen” doesn’t translate as “It means more people want to participate in the war” BUT it translates as “It means they want to involve more people in the war.”

There’s a comma missing in your original German text. That’s why Google’s translation is wrong.

Interesting: the German dubbing says (re-translated into English) “Stop! Don’t shoot! This man is American. Unless you want to involve them in the war as well.”

In German there is a difference between “Sie” (you) and “sie” (they, she).

So in the future, don’t ask Google, ask the German philes

Greetings from Munich, Germany!

I was wondering if you could be of some assistance.

Mitch has stated in several interviews over the years that the German lines presented to him in “Triangle” did not make sense, so he ended up changing them after clearing it with Chris. Fans know what is said in the episode (thanks to Carmen):

Halt! Nicht schiessen. Dieser mann ist Amerikaner. Es heisst sie vollen mehr leute an dem krieg beteiligen. (Stop! Don’t shoot! This man is American. They say more people want to take part in the war.)

But what was actually printed in the script prior to this change?

Thanks again for all your love and support to the Phile community.

In the draft dated 8/14/98, Skinner’s line was “Es heisst Sie wollen mehr Leute an dem Krieg beteiligen,” which, according to Google, translates as, “It means more people want to participate in the war.”

Dear Frank,

Lately, I’ve been pondering XF3, as I’m sure you have been as well. And if there’s one thing that I learned from The X-Files, it’s that film and television require an enormous amount of work to produce. So, in an attempt to lighten your workload a little bit, I’d like to offer my services.

See, recently I took a trip to Los Angeles to look at schools, but my trip wasn’t limited to just that. There were the obligatory Philetastic adventures to XF locations, as well as the normal touristy stuff. However, this trip also contained a valuable learning experience. Somehow, just two days after arriving in L.A., I ended up as an extra a movie. That’s right. I now have extensive film experience.

Okay, by extensive I mean about 14 hours from one day on set, BUT this was an AFI thesis film. And as you know, people who go to AFI are totally way more awesome than others (amirite?). So that means that my time as a PA/extra is worth more than it normally would have been. So, obviously, I would make an awesome extra for XF3. And if I can stand in the middle of the desert dressed in all black for 14 hours, then getting killed by aliens should be a cinch.

So, what do you say, Frank? I work for free. And you don’t really need any more stress in your life, so let me take some of that off of your shoulders.

Your Future Awesome Extra,

Roileigh

In the Sept. 6, 2010, issue of People magazine, Katey Sagal lists Gillian Anderson as Dana Scully in The X-Files as one of her “favorite TV tough ladies.” She says, “Her wardrobe was fabulous, she looked great, and she was very strong. She could do everything Mulder could and look good doing it.” Since there’s still obviously so much interest in Dana Scully’s character; and since Gillian Anderson said if there were a 3rd X-Files movie, that in it, she’d like to see Scully’s character “kick some butt,” is there any way possible, before more time passes, that a 3rd X-Files movie could be made (and then fans would have a trilogy set to collect, as well)? Or are we just reduced to watching episodes we don’t own on Netflix? The science fiction basis to the show was OK, but what I really enjoyed was the working relationshp and “witty repartee” between Scully and Mulder. I was told many fans have requested a 3rd movie, and that this was the website to contact to request one, so I’m doing so. Thanks so much for a great show (it was great fun watching it all those years). Guess I’m just not done having fun watching those two interact! Thanks for your consideration.

I have to tell you that. Sam, a Phile of our little X-Files club (Cologne Philes) made an X-Files Singstar. It was so much fun singing X-Files songs like “David Duchovny Why Won’t You Love Me” and “Joy to the World.”

Well, pictures can say more than words….

This is really a market gap…:))))

Many greetings from Germany

Just thought I’d spread the word that The X-Files series is not dead yet.

The first season was just made available this week for PS3 users to buy and download onto PS3 on the PSN video platform.

Eager for X-F:3

Hello Frank!

We have started another season of podcasts with very exciting guests lined up on our XFN Studio.

One of them is Gabe Rotter, with whom we had the pleasure of talking about his most recent novel, The Human Bobby. He also shared with us interesting facts about his time at The X-Files, and his wonderful experiences as part of the 1013 family.

The podcast includes a great giveaway for our faithful listeners, as well! You can find more details here.

This is just the first of more to come, and we’re super excited about the return of our conversations!

So, over the last few days, I’ve been hanging out on the couch, listening to the storms blow through the valley, and watching eps of the show on DVD and, of course, on Chiller. A few days ago, “Aubrey” aired, and now, while watching season seven again, just finished both “Fight Club” and then “Je Souhaite.” Now, I grew up around Kansas City, Missouri, and, after watching “Fight Club” felt I needed to clarify something. It’s KC, MO, not KC, KS, that is famous for its Barbecue, Negro League Baseball and, Charlie “Yardbird” Parker’s Jazz. No biggie really. A lot of people make that mistake but, that’s not really why I’m writing. What I’ve noticed, is that there are a lot of eps, in The X-Files, centered in Kansas and Missouri. I just wondered if you guys think we’re all just really strange or, if somebody close to the show has ties to that particular area of the Midwest? Just curious, I guess… and now…after talking about it all, really, really craving some hometown BBQ from places like Gates And Son’s, Arthur Bryant’s and Jack Stack. Nothing even close here, in Scottsdale or, Phoenix or, the whole of Arizona, for that matter and I’ve completely run out of my sauce stash. UuuuuGggggHhhh!

T in AZ….but originally, from KC (MO, that is…not KS!)

No, none of us has ties to that part of the Midwest. It’s not the people there who are strange. We are.
