It was an epic weekend at Spooky Empire in Orlando, Florida. Gillian Anderson, David Duchovny, Annabeth Gish, Mitch Pileggi, Robert Patrick, and William B. Davis reunited for a weekend of panels, autographs, and photos. Fans from all over the world came to take part and the cast did not disappoint.
Robert Patrick was first up on the panel schedule Friday night, where he answered the question of what Agent John Doggett might actually be up to now, since he was sadly absent from the revival. He quipped that Doggett "left, he gave up, he moved off up into the mountains..." He also confirmed that Doggett did indeed "have a thing" for Monica Reyes. A Phile, Crystal, caught the moment and shared it here.

There’s always been a very succinct way that we as fans identify our favorite parts of The X-Files: whether it be Shippers or Noromos, or we use abbreviations like MSR, or DRR, and then Mythology and MOTW.
The latter is the center of the newest critical companion written by Zack Handlen and Todd VanDerWerff. Monsters of the Week presents itself as the most complete one, with a foreword by Chris Carter and interviews with Vince Gilligan, Howard Gordon, Darin Morgan, Robert Patrick, Mitch Pileggi, Frank Spotnitz and James Wong. This isn’t just a book about reviews, but it is one that is a very well placed balance of opinion and history.
We had the opportunity to speak with both Todd and Zack about their motivation for writing this collection of reviews.
