“I wasn’t really that surprised at David’s interest [in appearing in the finale] because we had been in contact all year long. And any differences that we had [over Duchovny’s lawsuit] seemed to have been something we had both gotten past. I think David realized it was important to the future to participate in the present. The Mulder and Scully partnership was The X-Files for eight years. You can’t discount that.
“David and I had several meals at several different times after the settlement of the suit and worked things out. I still blame vertical integration as the big problem … it pits everybody against everybody and it was not good for working relationships. But I think David and I successfully buried the hatchet.”
