JMS seems to have been a big X-Files fan


I can't remember which commentary it was but I remember JMS mentioning that he wanted Duchovny and Anderson to appear as Psi Cops for a season 5 episode but it never happened for whatever reason.


Then in the spinoff show "Crusade" there's the episode titled "Visitors From Down the Street" where the two main alien investigators are very obviously supposed to be alien versions of Mulder and Scully.

I called them Sculder and Mully.

Actually Sculder and Mully were the Temporal Investigations agents on DS9, investigating the events surrounding Sisco and Company visiting the Old Star Trek episode "The Trouble with Tribbles"

Chris Carter and JMS were friends, so there were off hand references to each show. One was that poor teddy bear that Sheridan "Spaced" at the end of one episode.

I guess you could say that, except the connections between "Visitors.." to X-Files was a lot more clear. And both of the DS9 temporal investigation agents were men.

I can't remember any B-5 references in X-files, but I'd love to be wrong.

reply

Yeah I've seen the X-Files in its entirety at least 4 times and I don't remember any B5 references.
