After the shows cancellation, the characters returned in a season 9 episode ofThe X-Files.
And … well, they died.
And why do they appear to be competing in a Gene Autry cosplay contest?
There are ways to bring people back in dream sequences, flashbacks, and the like.
Did Carter ever regret killing off the Lone Gunmen in the original series?
We just did what the data pipe did [to] their show: Pull the plug!
I was sad to see them go.
They were go-to characters when you needed weird exposition.
