This week has seen the summit of heated discussions over the plotlines of the next X-Files season-cliffhanger, with both sides in the “will-he-sprog or won’t-he-sprog?” debate showing huffty-puffty red faces and out-of-breath panting from shouting a lot.
David Duchovny, who plays Fox Mulder in the smash TV show, walked out of the discussions when it was suggested that Mulder should become pregnant after being contaminated with alien DNA, and co-starring character Dana Scully (played by buxom stunner Gillian Anderson) could “...possibly knit Mulder some bootees”.
Apparently Chris Carter (The X-Files’ lovable control-freak producer) and a team of Fox executives dreamed up the idea during a wild party thrown by Mrs Star Trek - Majel Barrett - and have the support of half the cast, including Gillian Anderson: “The possibilities of science are advancing even as we speak. Who knows if Mulder could actually be pregnant, especially with today’s technology. Aliens, if they exist, could have the answers we seek to the mysteries of male childbirth. Keep watching the skies,” droned the wannabe Tomorrow’s World presenter, yesterday.
“We’ll talk to him tomorrow,” said disappointed studio bosses last night. “This is a brave new concept in science fiction television which has never been done before, and we want to be the first to try it, before Babylon 5 nick the idea. Give David a couple of days to think about it and he’ll come round.”
