It's hard to believe this...but that "tiny" guest star for Agent Harrison
may actually have been a test cast to see our reaction to her being
paired with Agent Doggett. My verdict is in...she's great. Hand down. I
hope Chris Carter gets the word. We like her. She fits nicely with Agent
Doggett. Please bring her back.

She's very appealing. She comes across nicely onscreen (in a professional
way) and she doesn't give off bad vibes like Monica Reyes character does.
I noticed on the promo for the season finale PART ONE...that there were
no clips of Agent Monica Reyes.

And I must say...that scene at the end where Mulder and Scully meet Agent
Harrison in her hospital room was cute. It seems to me they're welcoming
her in the club. I definitely hope we haven't seen the last of Agent
Harrison. PLEEEEEASSSE start a campaign to 1013 Productions and Chris
Carter to bring her back...permanently. If I was Chris Carter..after
reading these posts so far...my reaction would be to hire her on the
spot. She's the X Files' equivelant of Katie couric. Perky, and
intelligent. Go for it Chris Carter. Hire the actress for Agent Harrison.
You've got the real replacement for Agent Scully. I'm not kidding here.
It's Agent Harrison. Not Monica Reyes. Sorry Annabeth Gish...for some
strange reason...the chemistry between you and Robert Patrick simply
doesn't work right.

I think the chemistry between Dogget and Reyes is much more
believable than with this Harrison character.
Dogget and Reyes look like film actors, Harrison looks like
fluff tv to me.
Doesn't anyone else have a problem with the fact that her hair
is cut like Scully's, her suit is the same as Scully's, and she's
a little too eager? I did some serious eye rolling when she
appeared, if this is going to be Dogget's permanent partner,
I think I'll just forget about the X-Files...

Me too with the eye-rolling. I disliked her from the start! And as the
episode went along, I disliked her more! lol...until the end. I felt kinda
bad for her...ya know, her X-Files dream turning into a nightmare. But
Doggett was nice and put up with her, that was cute to me. But I liked at
the end when he said that Harrison would be leaving the X-Files...her
choice. I got a good laugh outta that.

I forgot that bit. I hope Chris Carter reconsiders. Others in this board
have expressed surprise at how well she worked. Don't tell me Monica
Reye's character has ALREADY been GUARANTEED the spot opposite Robert
Patrick?! Didn't I read somewhere that Chris Carter was "looking" at
several people to be paired off with him?

Now...about the Mulder situation. It doesn't seem that he will
"disappear" again. He might be working "part time" to help solve cases
for Doggett and Harrison (I hope)/Reyes (my eyes are rolling on THIS
actress). Don't quote me here...but maybe in the beginning I liked
Reyes...but for some reason..whenever she opens her mouth...whatever she
says simply doesn't register.

The actress who plays the foil on THE LONE GUNMEN would be a PERFECT
replacement for Agent Scully. She's mysterious, has presence and when she
opens her mouth...what she says DOES register. But it looks like it'll be
Monica Reyes. I just don't see the chemistry between Robert Patrick and
Annabeth Gish anymore. We hardly even see her. If she's supposed to be
Gillian Anderson's replacement, how come we don't see her very often?
Because she's doing cases in New Orleans? Come on, people. Chris Carter
must be hedging his bets. Otherwise that episode last should have been
filled by Annabeth Gish's Agent Monica Reyes. And don't get me on whether
or not it's because she ONLY appears when there are black magic/voodoo
murders to solve.

Hey Alberich, you big freakin' lunatic, Reyes doesn't have a character; she is
a character. Gish has a character named Reyes. Ask one of the nice nurses.

They should call The Wolf. (Todd, Coz, Hank maybe)

I heard he was going to die FIVE times in the finale.

Reyes is not an actress. Good lord, Alberich.

One of the other inmates in the asylum is fucking with you. Next time she's

The actress? The F.B.I. is going to bring in an actress to work with Doggett?
Hell, they should get Geena Davis then. This show needs more archery.

Causal relationship? Maybe.

We don't see Gillian very often either. Seems perfect to me.

I like Leyla Harrison better than
Monica Reyes, too.

She is fresh and has a wide-eyed
look at the world of XF. This could
be a good paring for next season.
The jaded John Doggett whose been
around a few times and the innocent
Leyla Harrison investigate the XF.

Of course, its not Mulder and Scully
but if I have a vote, mine would be for
Leyla.

Amen to that. I'm crossing my fingers on this. I hope Chris Carter
doesn't settle for Annabeth Gish too quickly. Let's give this Agent Leyla
Harrison another chance. According to the end of that episode...she
"decided to get out of the X-Files". That was a rather convenient line,
wasn't it? I guess Chris Carter was afraid fans might assume this was a
test to see if there was someone else they were looking at to be paired
off with actor Robert Patrick.

If it MUST be Annabeth Gish...I really do hope they clean up the
character a bit. I don't know...her character Agent Monica Reyes doesn't
seem focused enough on X Files cases. If we're to see WHY she's
appropriate for being IN the X File division...the story writers better
figure out a way to show why Monica Reyes DESERVES to be in the X-Files.
So far I haven't seen that. The actress Jolie Jensen in ONE episode was
able to convey why her character SHOULD have been assigned to The X
Files.

I'm still msytefied why Chris Carter is so set on hiring Annabeth Gish
for the role of Doggett's partner. She really HASN'T proven one bit why
she's right for the role. Can anybody tell me why she got the role? I'd
be curious to know what factors they looked at to letting Annabeth Gish
be "the one" to fill in for Gillian Anderson. And let's not kid ourselves
either. Even though people are going out of their way to say Annabeth
isn't "replacing" Gillian Anderson, then why was it necessary to bring
her in the first place? Of course they're replacing Gillian Anderson.
Besides..we we're not privy to what the circumstances are surrounding the
nature of her contract for a 9th season (assuming the SAG doesn't go on
strike. BTW, now that the screenwriters settled their gig with the
producers, I think an SAG strike is looking less likely now. But you
never know.).

IATWTP Reyes would be a poor replacement for DS just like Tara King was a

previous thread). The show would be attempting to be the same show with
replacement characters, and I think most people agreed when we discussed
Reyes at length that this just won't work (M & S are simply too good to ever
be replaced). With Harrison the dynamic between the main characters would be
very very different, and the show would take on a whole new tone, which
would add new life to it. I also disagree with those who dismiss Harrison
because she's too Barbie-like. This was true in Alone, but she had already
started evolving by the end of the show, she has a lot of room to grow, and
her hairstyle will change just like Capt. Janeway's did on Voyager. I think
TXF would be stale with Dogget and Reyes, but would be refreshingly
different with Dogget and Harrison.

Agent Harrison is_not a "bimbo", as you called it. Sure, she's not
a field agent, never had target practice, and seemed overeager.
But I never once thought that she's stupid or lacks intelligence.
Harrison is a character that could eventually grow into her new
role as an agent for the X-Files. Her character will not be
static, but could develop over course of a season.

Btw, are you/were you ever a fan of the show? Seems like you have
no constructive thing to say about X-Files, but enjoys bashing it
with no good reason.

Wow. Alberich has a new woman to obsess over. Soon he'll be telling us that
Jolie's hair is ruining the show and that she should have nose surgery to be
more perfect for him.

(1) Agent Leyla Harrison was a one shot deal. Live with it.

(2) Carter sees something in Gish and in the character Reyes in which he is
probably invested. He saw something in Gillian Anderson too and in time she
grew into the character (along with the writers) and became an Emmy nominated
actress.

(3) Take your meds!

I'm not into "obsessing" with ANYONE. I'm simply posting my thoughts on
fictional characters. And heck, if I do have a complaint about the way
someone looks on the show, why CAN'T I complain? The ruckus people made
over the horrible haircut in the show FELICITY shows you that people can
give a fink when there's something wrong. Otherwise there wouldn't be any
such thing as viewer feedback for the producers to worry over. And while
we're on that track, they might as well not worry about putting words
into the mouths of their characters that might seem offensive to certain
ethnic groups or genders. The freedom of speech is wonderful...but there
are some limitations on what one can say. The example of yelling FIRE! in
a crowded room is one of them. Being finicky over the way someone looks
on the air is called viewer feedback. When you call a fictional character
thin or fat may be based on personal likes or dislikes. But if you call
attention to the fictional character's wardrobe as being too "loud" or
the hairstyle as too "weird"...that's offering constructive criticism for
the producers to consider. Not petty nasty remarks against the actor's
choice of hairstyle or wardrobe, but against the producers decision to
allow that certain hairstyle or wardrobe be used. Let me give you a
recent example: yesterday on aintitcoolnews.com, a picture was posted on
the web showing how Jadda Pinket Smith will look like in the MATRIX 2.
People have been posting rabid remarks about the way she looked because
of the hairstyle. Being a fan of the MATRIX, I had to admit it looked
"unusual" to say the least. And that's being charitable. Others have
stated far worse drivel about the hairstyle saying it really "sucks ass".
The producers of the MATRIX 2 are going to have to consider the loud
negative remarks on the hairstyle of Jadda and decide whether or not it's
worth allowing and whether or not it would affect the way viewers think
of the movie. Believe me, what people wear on the movies and shows do
make a big deal...because they're sending fashion statements for others
to ponder. And the public has a right to critique those fashion
statements, wardrobe and hairstyle alike.

Well given that her acting "sucks ass" as well maybe
it is really the right hair style for her.

Right on. Most of the people criticizing Harrison on this newsgroup
are basing it solely on the very few minutes she was on. They seem to
forget how changed a person she was half into the show. Now, when she
became completely blind if she started screaming and raving, I'd
dislike her but the very fact she kept completely cool despite the
odds against them surviviving, it was fantastic. Plus she had no
fears about reaching down and feeling for that other guy's body.
She's much braver already than you would think. I think a year or two
with Doggett and she'll be a perefct FBI agent... well, at least a
perfect X-Files FBI agent.

Besides, the FBI would NEVER let anybody out into the field with a

I frankly don't care what she looks like. I don't want to see
Harrison even on a semi-regular basis. This show is not a comedy and
we don't need Agent Doggett Trains The Naive Little Newbie episodes
while she gets him shot or killed. They're set up a great potential
scenario for Season 9 with Empedocles and that's the X-Files storyline
I would like to see continue in Season 9. I'm not 100 percent sold on
Reyes but Harrison (the character) just ain't it.

And as far as comparing her to Pendrell, at least he could do his job.

I agree. Unlike Monica Reyes, I *wanted* Ms. Perky to succeed, naivety and
all. (sorry about that spelling.) And I think her link to the X-Files is
easier to relate to for the viewers--talk about the fans being able to
project themselves into the show... It isn't that Monica is so bad, it's
just harder for me to care about her.

You may disagree if you like, but on THIS newsgroup your opinion is in
direct opposition to standard practice.

The problem with posting old material on top comes when people refuse

I also don't think she'll keep doing the "Mulder and Scully were
in this case and.." if she became a permanent member of X-Files.
Harrison had read all the fantastic cases filed by M&S, and
naturally she acted like she just stepped into Wonderland like
Alice, even dressing up like Scully. Like you said, once she's
down to the sewer, Harrison already undergo gradual change by
acting calmer and not "losing her mind" as a rookie would, so to
speak. What I see in her is her easygoing attitude (much like
Mulder imo) and a real potential for growth. Reyes might have a
"history" with Doggett, but the relationship she has with Doggett
seems contrived and she's a bit like a female Doggett. Mulder and
Scully are as different as day and night, and I think that is at
least partly responsible for their chemistry together and the
dynamic that exists between them. Reyes will not be able to inject
a sense of humor to a humorless situation like Mulder could, and
Harrison can do it better than her. Even if Harrison is not
considered as a leading candidate in case Gillian decided to bail
out of X-Files, I still won't consider Reyes to be a good 1st
choice for the position vacant by Scully. Hopefully Carter will at
least keep his mind open on this matter.

Aw, don't sweat it T. People like that are just weak people in real life. The


internet gives them a false sense of strength. Tomorrow he'll post more
negative things here after he lives another pointless day. It's a shame
really.

Excellent post. I agree with you 100%. I hope Chris Carter keeps his
options open as well. Although here's something interesting I heard
yesterday. Annabeth Gish has ONLY been optioned for another 9 episodes as
Agent Monica Reyes next season. Kinda strange if she's supposed to be the
"replacement" for Gillian Anderson's character Agent Scully. However, if
this is TRUE...that means the Robert Patrick character John Doggett is
being paired up with DIFFERENT partners for various episodes next season.
This is something I've heard before..even before we've even heard of
Annabeth Gish. In THAT case, then there might indeed be hope for Jolie
Jenssen's chances at returning as Agent Leyla Harrison. She fit in with
John Doggett like hand in glove. She's a terrific fit for the John
Doggett character and I'm sorry...but I disagree with the people out
there saying she doesn't fit in with THE X FILES. She does and it works.
It was "magic" all over again when I watched ALONE.

Agent Monica Reyes simply doesn't work well with Agent John Doggett. I
sense a barrier between Annabeth Gish and Robert Patrick. I can sense it
from just watching them onscreen for goodness sake. I sincerely hope
Chris Carter meant it that Annabeth Gish has been picked up for ONLY 9
episodes next season. Because if that's correct, then that means CC is
aware of people's problems with her character being paired up with John
Doggett. And I'm not buying the argument it was because she's seen THE
DAY Mulder is found. She simply doesn't work well. I can bet you IF we
see Agent Leyla Harrison again..it would be proof enough to show that her
chemistry with Robert Patrick wasn't fake. It really shows.

Annabeth Gish and Robert Patrick have the same agent. I doubt if
Robert Patrick's agent would deliberately make it difficult for him by
having someone audition/interview to play opposite him if there was
some kind of "barrier."

That certainly was a shocker. I didn't know they shared the same agent.
But can you shed light on the surprisingly low number of episodes
Annabeth Gish is getting next year...9!?

> >I am in total sinc with you, just as Jenssen and Patrick. They
complimented each other, unlike Reyes-Doggett. And I think that
"compliment", is something that many or dare I say most, of us x-philes,
want to see and experience on Sunday nights. It'll be interesting to see
who else CC brings us as potential partners, however if I had to vote now,
it'd definitely be for Jenssen. Reyes just didn't seem to have the "heart".
