Ah yes. Rumour has it that good ol’ Agents Mulder and Scully from The X-Files are to make a cameo appearance on the season 2 premiere of Fox’s Fringe.
What’s important to realize is that unfortunately Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny, the actors that portray these characters, are not the ones making the appearance. Rather, it’s their characters. (Trust me… I emailed the official Gillian Anderson website to see if their was any truth to the claim that she and Duchovny would make an appearance. There isn’t. My geekiness emerges…)
Fox reported that there will be two “mentions” of Mulder and Scully during the episode, one coming from John Nobel’s character, Walter Bishop. The other is unknown at this point.
I must admit to being a tiny bit excited for the second season of Fringe. I was certainly less than overwhelmed by the first few episodes last season but it got better as the series progressed. One thing that did manage to tick me off was the extremely similar plot lines. Gee… where have I seen this story before? Oh yeah! *whistles spooky X-Files theme*
Seriously, though. The first few episodes were direct rip-offs of old X-Files episodes. J.J. Abrams, you’ve got great vision and all, but please get some new material. Don’t continue to do that in season 2 or else it will make you look bad.
Anyway, I leave you with a small Showtime clip called “Hangin’ with David Duchovny”. Because why wouldn’t I?
Season 2 of Fringe airs September 17 at 9/8c on Fox.

Glad to see Duchovny back among the living.
