YEAH, NOBODY!!! The show folds by the end of the season without
Scully, it will implode without her. I wish they'd just pay her
more. Hell, it's like a Life Insurance policy for their only
top ten show. I can't believe they could seriously even consider
XF minus Scully. This is starting to really annoy me.

Get thee behind me,

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't even JOKE about this matter. No! No! No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All that negative energy may build up into a frenzy and go shooting out
toward Fox studios. In their collective ignorance, they may easily take
you seriously!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now, everyone, breathe deep and send the following "positive" thoughts
toward the FOX executives:

"No one can replace GA as Scully...NO ONE!
FOX will lose millions and millions of dollars if we try. HONEST!
Those Internet X-Phile nuts will short sheet our executive beds.
THEY'RE SO CRAZY!
GA is so good, why don't we pay her double her salary? HUH?
In fact, GA is so good, she needs to be in a major motion picture soon
staring opposite of Mel Gibson. CO-STAR!
We need to tell CC to make sure Scully gets laid. SOON!

Hey? It's worth a shot? Maybe if we think REALLY hard.

aw come on. we ALL know *NO ONE* (NO ONE NO ONE NO ONE) can replace
gillian anderson as scully!

BUT --

if you were in the mega-tough position of casting someone as scully
(and to make this easier, let's pretend this is *before* the first
season of x-files, so no one associates gillian anderson with
the character of scully), whom (no salary limit) would you cast?

shalon, you are too cool. firstly, you're from cal (go bears), and
secondly, you ranked jodie foster the same as I ranked her in a mass
mailing to my friends -- a mailing in which I asked them this same
question (before I knew about this thread on this newsgroup).

the other people I'd add are:

1a. helen hunt (from "mad about you")
1b. that really cool woman from "profiler"
1c. kristen johnson(?) (from "3rd rock from the sun")
hey, she's an alien *and* she's tough like scully.

>2. Geena Davis (she's got that masculine side to her)

she's too tall ..... geena davis is 5'11" as far as I know.

>3. that chick from "My Two Dads", Stacy Keenan, I think

too bitchy @:P .... well, her character on "step by step" is too bitchy.

Oh, don't even slag Ms. Ryder! She'll never do the X-Files becuase she's
vowed never to do TV. She's too busy with feature films anyhow. She has
so many offers that she'll probably be busy with movies for the rest of
the near future (next 20 years?). On that note about her going out with
DD, she ditched him some time ago and is supposedly back with David
Pirner.

Sick, Sick, Sick, Sick, that is how this post made me feel. I am still
reeling from it. I will just tell you that there is no way in HELL that I
would ever watch The X-Files without Gillian Anderson/Scully!! Never, I
would never do it. There is nobody living or dead who could possibly
replace Gillian Anderson and play Dana Scully. I hope you are forgiven
for you sacrilge to GA.

That's all I can say for now because I have to go hurl into the toilet...

I really hope GA doesn't leave the show, but if she does, here are some
people I think could be convincing as non-bitchy FBI agents because they
come across as smart, independent, and/or brave, and can act (although I'm
not sure how well they'd play opposite DD as Scully's replacement). Also,
they should create a new character, not just stick someone else in as Scully...

the woman who played the park ranger in "Broken Arrow" (not a
bimbo despite the change of outfit in the very last
scene of the movie)
Rene Russo (from Lethal Weapon III(?), with Mel Gibson)
the woman who plays Vash on TNG (might have trouble being patient
with Mulder)
Jeanene Garofalo (hope I spelled that right), from "The Truth
About Cats & Dogs"

On a slightly different note, people I think would be fun to have playing
one-time or recurring characters on the show:
Robin Williams' love interest in "The Fisher King"--I'm blanking
on the actress' name right now.
the guy who plays Barclay on TNG--he's just really cool
Samantha Fox (the singer) :-> ...just to play with the names
Majel Barrett(sp?) Roddenberry, to hit on CancerMan and make him
late for an important rendezvous (which of course causes
grave problems for everyone)
the woman who starred in "La Femme Nikita" (NOT the American version
with Bridget Fonda, the original one), maybe as a spy or
maybe as an ex- of Krychek's, back to cause him pain

Sorry, but as for #3, the woman who played Vash has already been on the
show as Skinner's wife. Not that people never get different roles on
the show (look at Nick Lea). In any case, anyone who thinks
Gillian/Scully can be replaced is a shmoo! :->

I have been lurking for quite some time now, and this thread has forced me
out of the shadows. It makes me grimace because I could never think of
replacing ga with **anyone** especially Winona Ryder! I couldn't imagine
Winona saying Scully's lines with the same flair as GA. I just think
whenever Winona plays a character she plays it so wishy-washy, and
wishy-washy is something that Scully is not.

Why not? And Macaully Kulkin can step in as Mulder. We move the whole
thing from Washington to someplace appropriately middle America like
Des Moines, cut the show to half an hour and enroll them in high
school. They can investigate the paranormal from Daddy's garage after
they finish their homework and before they head off to their jobs at

Actually, I've always wanted a spin-off based on the Calusari. Remember,
those three old Romanian guys who go around exorcising spirits? Every
week there'd be a new case for them. They'd drive up, not say a word, do
their work, and leave.

I'd also like a series about Lightning Boy.

Heck, in that case they should just get rid of Mulder and get Jean Reno
to replace *him*. Now THAT's a partner worthy of Dana Scully. Or Gary
Oldman, while we're at it -- Gillian HAS said she'd love to work with him!

My GA Movie Wish List, First Draft:

-- a romantic comedy with Gary Oldman. I wanna see Gary in something
light for a change, please, O Powers That Be! Um, something light in
which he acts opposite a WOMAN for a change, that is. That woman being GA.

-- a drama with Ralph Fiennes. I have no idea what kind, but persistent
visions of PRIDE & PREJUDICE a la A&E and of HAMLET a la Broadway bring to
mind something (ok, ANYthing!) involving lightning-fast open-shirted fencing
scenes. And bare feet. Alhough, those Empire-style gowns would inevitably
draw slews of "GA is FAT" postings ... I guess Shakespeare would be safer.
I'd say "As You Like It," but that wouldn't give Ralph a meaty enough role
-- and there's no fencing! (Might be nice to see the Duke-man mooning
after a Scully-in-boy's-clothing, tho. >;-) "Much Ado About Nothing"?
Augh, no fencing again! Ok, that settles it, GA will have to do at least
TWO Shakespeares with the delectable Rafe: one comedy with brilliantly witty
banter flying between the two, and one tragedy complete with lovely
swordfighting sequences (and bare feet). <SLURP!>

-- an espionage kinda movie with MOSSAD agent, or at least Our Man
"Bashir -- JULIAN Bashir," Siddig El Fadil ... ("Our Woman Scully," anyone?)

-- any damn thing with Helen Mirren. And while they're at it, they can
throw in all those adorable boys from Tennison's original crew (from *after*
she reformed them) for the amusement of our heroines. Especially the cutie
pie who was always driving her around; and the rumpled one. And Colin
Salmon is mandatory.

-- and the aforementioned Jean Reno; and Paul Gross; and Scott Bakula;
and Sean Pertwee (there WILL be a scene where he draws his ... sword);
and Derek Jacobi (not romantically); and ... I'll pass on Chris Noth,
because a 5'2" GA + any actor *well* over 6 feet tall might be too much of a
stretch, as it were. (Not that I minded the reach when *I* hugged him >8-D

-- Ah, my .sig now reminds me to throw in James Morrison too. And heck,
if GA's gonna do female-bonding with the older Helen Mirren, she might as
well bond with the younger Natalie Portman on-film as well, to bring this
post full circle. (Come to think of it, at the appropriate age, she would
be a perfect Samantha Mulder ...)

Sooo ... Alec Baldwin (and the casting director of whatever movie it was
for which GA unsuccessfully auditioned this summer), eat your heart out!

If they absolutely had to replace GA, I'd hafta suggest Amanda Pays, who

Yes, I watch and enjoy the Pretender. I also am starting to enjoy the role
of the Evil Parker. I noticed the first few shows that she dressed,
well.....like a slut. And, her character had some flashes of greatness,
but overall she was a cardboard villian. Now that her clothes are more
normal (for TV at least) the character seems more real, better acted. It's
almost like actors feel that when their body is overly on display they
don't have to show any ability. That's one of the things I like about the
X-Files, sure the people are too good looking, and the clothes are not
something anyone would wear for law enforcement in real life, but they are
normal for TV, an the actors really try to act (TFWID not withstanding).
The actors and directors aren't crutching on skin and tight outfits. In
fact, even the infamous Uniblonder had quite a bit of clothes on for her
apartment scene, and the actress was really acting (Even if some on the
group didn't like the emotion she was showing).
I really think that there is a direct relation between the amount of T and
A, and the acting skill shown. And besides, when I really need to some
some Barbie Dolls reading their way through a script there's always
Baywatch.

I'd love to see Jeanene Garofalo guest on one of the shows. She can
definitely show a tough, intelligent yet sensitive side.

You did, of course, hear the rumor that Winona Ryder had offerred to be
on an episode of the X-Files....

But... since all major movie stars are out as a replacement to GA, I vote
for:

Mia Sara--she needs the work, she's smart enough, and can act decently.
Tamlyn Tomita--when was the last time you saw her in a movie? Besides
we'd cross the race gap.
Janine Turner--Hmmmmm...
Jennifer Jason Leigh-- although she's probably too busy doing high class
movies like "Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle", "Georgia" and "The
Hudsucker Proxy", she's one of the most underrated, and best damn
actresses out there.
Penelope Ann Miller--she even reminds me of GA. Plus, she has a pretty
good resume.

Hamlet if I had my way.....

About Penelope Ann Miller, I saw her on Letterman on time and she was the
dumbest person I ever saw allowed in front of a camera. My first grader
knew more about everything then see did. I couldn't watch another film by
her again. Like watching a trained dog or chimp - you know its not real.

Only one problem - she's already played the much-despised Phoebe Green,
the woman who stole Mulder's heart, then ripped it, still beating, from
his chest, sauteed it in mushrooms and butter, and ate it right in front
of him. While they could get away with having Nick Lea in a bit part and
then bringing him back as Krycek, I think this would be stretching it
just a bit. Ol' Phoebe's gone, but not forgotten - especially in fanfic.

Blessed Be,

Are you crazy? Replace Scully? Never! That's a sin! I would never, ever,
ever watch that show again, and as for Chris Carter, I might have to send
him a mail bomb (not really, but you get the point)

What the hell is all this mumbo jumbo about Gillian Anderson leaving the
X-Files?
I don't think I could watch the X-files without her. I would feel like
such a traitor!

How about the departed Sherri Stringfield from ER? Beautiful &
intelligent, the perfect replacement. Seriously, I do not want to see GA
leave the show. In fact, I would like to see Scully and Mulder become
more involved personally.
