David Duchovny had to point out plot holes in The X-Files
David Duchovny had to call out character inconsistencies in The X-Files. The 64-year-old star found fame as FBI agent Fox Mulder in the hit sci-fi series and recalled how he often needed to correct episodic directors on plot holes. Speaking on his Fail Better podcast, David said: "It was a bit of a pet peeve of mine when I was doing X-Files - not so much the others that I've done - but, as with Bones, it's episodic, but every episode is pretty high drama. It can be life and death. "Sometimes the directors would come on and they'd know they had a great script and (since) this was on The X-Files, this could happen, you know? Like, 'Holy s***, this is a great script,' and the really wanted to kill it. Those guys were dangerous. "So often they would say, 'We've never seen Mulder like this before', and I'd say, 'Yeah, like 10 other times we've seen Mulder like this before." David recalled how he had to correct show bosses when Mulder revealed that he had a fear of fire in the season one episode Fire - as his alter ego had appeared unmoved by a blaze in the show's pilot. He explained to guest Emily Deschanel: "I remember like in the middle of the episode, I had this thought. I think I went up to (director) Chris Carter - who wrote that episode I believe - and I said, 'Didn't Mulder and Scully watch a building burn down in the pilot? I think Mulder was fairly cool with it, you know, it didn't bother him.' "It's like that kind of stuff, you know where you're going, you're kind of the curator of the character and sometimes you have to go, 'I can't actually do that.'" David recently lamented how Netflix has changed the TV landscape as he doesn't believe that modern shows can have the longevity and reach of The X-Files, which aired from 1993 to 2002 before being revived from 2016 to 2018. He told the Daily Telegraph newspaper last month: "Netflix kind of f***** the business in a way. Well, I mean, look at The X-Files, which had a foothold on the culture and then lasted. Now, there's just so much – things become incandescent for a year or two and then they just fade away."

Meet IndyStar photojournalism intern HG Biggs
IndyStar's newsroom internships are an important tradition that benefits readers, the news industry and aspiring journalists. We have nine summer interns for 2025 — students who have shown a passion for local journalism and have prior internship or student media experience. Their presence provides a bridge from student journalism to the professional ranks and helps the Star fill the gaps as our full-time staff take well-earned vacation time. Similarly, we're taking a break from our "Meet the Staff" feature for the summer to give you a chance to, yes, meet the interns. We also call them Pulliam fellows — in recognition of the family that used to own the newspaper and has continued to support journalism in Indianapolis — and past participants have gone on to rich careers at the Star and elsewhere in journalism. Up this week is 2025 IndyStar intern HG Biggs. As a photojournalist, I have the opportunity to help cover anything and everything happening around Indianapolis. While I don't have a specific beat, I will always have a soft spot for baseball because photographing Little League and tournament team games in Jackson, Mississippi, was my introduction to this job. I also enjoy covering stories that localize national and international issues. I graduated from the University of Mississippi with a bachelor's in Mandarin Chinese in May 2024. I am currently a master's student at Ohio University studying visual communication in the Scripps College of Communication. I'm at a point in life where I enjoy knowing my daily schedule is going to be unpredictable. I get to meet some of the most interesting people, and it's always an honor to be trusted with documenting their stories. Getting the occasional front-row seat to sporting events isn't half bad, either. My good friend and colleague Brett Phelps was the IndyStar's photojournalism intern last summer, and he spoke highly of his time here. Hearing Brett talk about his experiences, the atmosphere between coworkers, and everything he learned from the editors and photojournalists at the Star encouraged me to apply. I'm excited to have the opportunity to learn from such a robust visuals team. In a time when visuals staff around the country are being cut, IndyStar is a newsroom challenging that trend and proving the value of investing in photojournalists. Reading: "All We Can Save" Watching: "The X-Files" "Insufficient facts always invite danger." — Mr. Spock, "Star Trek: The Original Series" "Dancin' in the Ruins" by Blue Oyster Cult and anything by Rage Against the Machine I see myself as a documentary photographer. I have no idea what that will look like, whether I'll be working in a newsroom, freelancing, or working a different job and documenting visual stories on my personal time. The world is always changing, and we have to be open to any opportunities. No matter where I go, two things will always be true: I'll always be a Mississippian, and I'll always be a photographer. Hiking the Appalachian trail, although that's a much longer undertaking than just a vacation.

Celebrated ‘The X-Files' composer Mark Snow dies aged 78
This weekend, we learned of the disappearance of American composer Mark Snow, the celebrated artist best known for his iconic and eerie theme for the hit TV show The X Files. He was 78. A cause of death has not been provided, but Variety said Snow died Friday at his residence in the northeastern state of Connecticut. Snow's impact on the world of television cannot be understated, as he created the unique mood of numerous television and film productions. In addition to The X Files main theme, which was released as a single in 1996 and charted internationally, Snow composed the music for over 200 episodes and both feature films (The X Files: Fight The Future and The X Files: I Want To Believe) of the hit science-fiction show created by Chris Carter. In 2022, Rolling Stone magazine named The X-Files theme one of the 100 greatest TV theme songs of all time. Snow also composed the music for Carter's shows The Lone Gunmen and Millennium, as well as other US television series including Starsky & Hutch, Hart to Hart, T.J. Hooker, Blue Bloods, Smallville and The Twilight Zone. Born Martin Fulterman on 26 August 1946, Snow grew up in Brooklyn, New York and attended the prestigious Juilliard School. He began composing music for television in the late 1970s under the name Mark Snow, initiating a fruitful collaboration with producer Aaron Spelling on series such as The Rookies. His pioneering mastery of synthesizers and ability to create memorable atmospheres was recognised the world over, and led him to work with French filmmaker Alain Resnais on several films – including Cœurs, for which he was nominated for a César for best film score, as well as Les Herbes Folles and Vous n'avez encore rien vu. Over the course of his illustrious career, Snow garnered 15 Emmy nominations. His final score was the X-Men spin-off The New Mutants in 2020. Snow is survived by his wife Glynnis, three daughters, and grandchildren.

"The X-Files" Composer Mark Snow Passes Away at 78
Yara Sameh Mark Snow, the Emmy-nominated composer behind the beloved "X-Files" theme song, has passed away. He was 78. Snow died Friday at his home in Connecticut. Sean Callery, a fellow composer and friend of Snow's, announced his death on Facebook. 'Mark Snow, and one of the most wonderful and talented people I've ever known, has passed away,' he wrote in the Friday post. '33 years ago he began mentoring me as an artist. Who knew that I was also at the beginning of a deep friendship that would only grow and evolve over 3 decades along with our graying hair and tighter deadlines.' Callery added: 'I am so grateful to him for his sage counsel and his laugh-out-loud biting wit. My career got started by an act of generosity on his part 33 years ago – period, full stop. I love you my friend. There will never ever be another like you. I send love to Glynnis and all his children and grandchildren during this time.' Snow notably composed the iconic opening theme for "The X-Files". He worked on the series during its full time on-air from 1993 until its end in 2018. Aside from the theme song, he worked on the rest of the show's music, earning six Emmy nominations throughout his X-Files tenure. Snow, too, served as the composer of the franchise's 1998 film, "The X Files". A 15-time Emmy-nominated composer, Snow lent his talents to a slew of shows, including "Blue Bloods," "Smallville," "One Tree Hill," "Children of the Dust," and "Ghost Whisperer", among others. His work has also appeared across film, including features in "The New Mutants," "Ernest Saves Christmas," and "Crazy in Alabama". Snow also frequently worked on TV movies. Some of his past credits include "The Boy in the Plastic Bubble", one of his first projects he worked on in 1976 that starred John Travolta, "Overboard," "Casino," "Angel City," "Malibu," "California Girls," "The Lost Capone," "An American Story," "A Stranger in Town," "Trial by Fire," "The Perfect Mother," "Paradise," and "Strange Calls." read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean
