Dear Frank,

I want to send you my sympathies. In reading any and all comments about what fans of The X-Files want in terms of XF3 I feel that no matter what you and Chris decide to do in terms of the plot, characters involved, baby William, aliens, Gibson, Doggett, Marita, Mulder/Scully, salmonella poisoning, etc., that it will be nearly impossible to please all fans of The X-Files. I hope that if XF3 gets the green light that you and Chris don’t listen to what the fans want or don’t want and that you go about writing XF3 with what YOU want for the series. It must be easy to write in what you think most fans want in a story, but I think that if you ignore what the fans want and write what you know will work out best for the series and its characters and mythology, that it will work out even better.

I know that most fans of The X-Files want a third movie (so do I), and I sympathize with you guys with regard to how to approach writing the script for XF3. I can’t imagine how difficult (and possibly frustrating) it is to write a story that will please all fans (since The X-Files has such a varied group of fans with many different opinions and ideas about what should and should not be included in a possible third movie). If you set out to do XF3 in a vision not influenced by fan opinion I believe that the story will be better than any fan could imagine.

Oh and… did you see Chuck this past Monday? Robert Patrick (Doggett) and Adam Baldwin (Rohrer) in a fight scene. Awesome!
