David Duchovny criticises Hollywood for gender pay gap

The 47-year-old star, who returns as special agent Dana Scully after an absence of 14 years, says she was initially offered only half the salary of co-star David Duchovny, who plays her alien-chasing Federal Bureau of Investigation partner Fox Mulder.

The X-Files miniseries is the continuation of the American science fiction horror drama television series The X-Files, created by Chris Carter, which originally aired for nine seasons from 1993 to 2002 on Fox.

As well as returning stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson, familiar faces include Mitch Pileggi as Walter Skinner, Annabeth Gish as Monica Reyes and William B Davis as the Smoking Man, plus Frohike, Langley and Byers, aka the original Lone Gunmen.

Mulder: I’m thinking maybe it’s time to put away childish things. And so when Mulder kicked that same poster apart in the first episode of The X-Files season 10, the heavy-handed symbolism hit me even harder: this is a show that is in the middle of reinvention.

The X-Files are back! I’ve been doing this now for almost 25 years, so these characters are in my blood. In many ways, it’s nearly a tribute to the series, while also serving as a sort of template, at least for one kind of The X-Files episode.

Fans have always wondered about Mulder and Scully’s nature of relationship and the premiere episodes focused on their son together, William, and their decision to put him up for adoption.

Morgan’s episode didn’t only show how Mulder probably swore off convenient technology while he was in hiding prior to the resurrected “The X-Files”, it also gave everyone a glimpse of the old Mulder back and even Scully acknowledged it. Because honestly, we’re going to sit here and get asked this question all day long for the rest of our lives and we don’t have a f–ing clue. “I think we should be paid the same to do “The X-Files”, Duchovny said.

Paige Tillinghast, senior English major, said she hopes that these next four episodes will bring a ideal balance of classic and modern, while making sure to tie up any loose ends. “But I’ll leave it as a question: are we done, are we not?”
