Character actor
Don S. Davis,
known for his portrayal of Dana Scully's father Captain Scully on
The X Files, Major Garland Briggs on
Twin Peaks, and Colonel George Hammond on
Stargate,
passed away Sunday at the age of 65. Even if you don't remember him from those roles, if you
take a look at his IMDB page, you will probably recognize him from something. He had a gift for taking stereotypical military roles and bringing a warmth and gentleness to them. One of his final roles was in the
Stargate movie
Continuum, which will premiere on DVD this month.

The opening sequence of an X-files episode, or real life? There is a lot of
Strange News on the internet, but I particularly like ones that could be the beginning of an
X-files episode, potentially only the tip of an even stranger iceberg, yet are reliable and well documented, with
photographs of the mysterious blob, or
x-rays of strange events that the person in question can't shed light on. As a kid I once played in snow that,
much like this, soon turned out to be silk, and similarly read urban-legend-like news articles of a home suddenly plagued by thousands of large poisonous spiders, coming up from underneath it, stumping experts as well for the species was never known to be anything but solitary. I assume that frequently, the explanation is found but never makes the news, leaving the mystery unresolved to the rest of us. Many, like
Monkey-man attackers,
baby zombies and
strange killer grasshoppers have a death toll or leave scars, directly or indirectly.
There are plenty of people trying to present themselves as
real life x-files, but I'm more interested in well documented events which stand out as bizarre and creepy, without having any of that pushed upon them, and (with a bit of reckless imagination) hint at something bigger - preferably with photo goodness. You no doubt have links of your own. Why not share the better ones. (Or even make up a brief x-file-like mystery around a weird link, then post the link as if to show the story really happened :-)

The X-Files TV series is officially over. Two years too late, probably. But the finale definately is in my list of favorite episodes. What are some of yours?

Yes sir, that's my cloned alien baby! I was concerned about this article from cnn about Clonaid going ahead with cloning a human. And then I found out Clonaid was stared by a religious group that believes ETs used genetic engineering to create life on earth. Legitimate news item or bad X-files script? (posted by Miss-Lapin)
