Happy Birthday Dean!
Tonight at 9:00 Eastern, Season Six of The X-Files begins in the chatroom. Season six features many of the fan favorites of the entire series. Notable in season six is the appearance of Assistant Director Alvin Kersh (played by James Pickens, Jr.) and more notoriety for Diana Fowley (played by Mimi Rogers).
Season six brings about greater UST between Mulder and Scully, and fans continue to discuss the romantic nature of Triangle, Arcadia, How the Ghosts Stole Christmas, and Milagro, among other of the season’s episodes. The mythology story grew in an unexpected direction with Tithonus, an episode that fans still continue to debate though Frank Spotnitz has offered his interpretation.
Join us each Sunday evening in the XFiles Universe Chatroom at 9pm Eastern to watch the featured episodes, or watch on your own. Forum discussion for the episodes takes place within the Season Six section.
To celebrate the bicentennial of Charles Dickens’ birth, the BBC has commissioned two productions based on Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations. Gillian Anderson will play the role of Miss Havisham in the TV mini-series scheduled to show on BBC1 this winter.
BBC is also producing a feature film of Great Expectations. In the film version, Helena Bonham Carter will play the role of Miss Havisham.
Whose portrayal will stand out as the best? We’ll have to wait until next year to find out; even so, we’re positive that both actresses will put on a stunning performance. We suspect philes will prefer Great Expectations with Gillian Anderson.
