How To Get The X-Files Back Into Prime Time . . .

by kat and nat

SUMMARY: What will happen to all these characters without TXF, or at this rate, not even a movie? Some potential ideas for studios. Ok, ok, everything else was just an excuse to actually get to type "Skinner, P.I."

RATING: PG

DISCLAIMER: We don't own a damn thing.

AUTHOR'S NOTES: This has been an ongoing stupid little joke since the end of the show, between Nat and I after we've been up too late IM'ing each other. In other words, it's probably only funny between the hours of 2-3 am. Sorry if it sucks!

The X-View

Tune in every weekday to hear: Scully explain all the world events "through the lens of science" and "as a doctor," Samantha Clone's innocent confusion about the news, Monica asking every guest "Are you a dog or cat person," and Fowley's interpretation of current events through the eyes of a senior citizen.
