Aliens on Earth: The 2000-2001 season of The X-Files, controversial even among the show's rabid fans, boasts the last on-screen meeting of David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson."This was a very touching moment, one I'll never forget," says Kim Manners, who directed the season's last episode, Existence, in which Mulder (Duchovny) comes to see and hold the baby Scully (Anderson) had. "This was David and Gillian's last scene together and we shot it on the last day of the picture," Manners says in the commentary on the new DVD, The X-Files: The Complete Eighth Season, being released today.
"As they come together to kiss," Manners says, "you'll see the camera pull out of the door and that was the last shot of David and Gillian together. We wrapped and David and Gillian stood in that room together alone and held each other for a good five minutes. They didn't talk. They didn't move. They just held each other, tears running down their faces." -- Toronto Sun: Showbiz
