Formation
Humor, which usually plays only a minor role in The X-Files, is an essential element in this series. However, the concept did not prevail, and it was filmed only one season, which aired in the U.S. in 2001. In 2003 she was shown on RTL in Germany. As the series but was designed for more seasons, was one of the last X-Files episodes ( Season 9, Episode 15: Heroes ) used for close nor open storylines this series.
A curious feature of the series is the pilot. It is the plan of a U.S. intelligence agency, an airliner by remote control into the World Trade Center ( WTC) in New York directing to get an excuse for the increase in defense spending and attach the stop foreign dictators. This episode aired in the United States In early March 2001, six months before the actual attack.
In the German version of the pilot film, The Conspiracy, all related to the World Trade Center comments were translated differently. There it is then, would the conspirators, a Boeing 727 to crash on the city, while in the original version of the plan explicitly mentioned is to direct them into a tower of the WTC. All scenes in which this project is being addressed were either cut or translated so that it is not clear what it is in the original. In addition, in the German version almost all photos were cut out, where the World Trade Center is to be seen. In a short scene you can see the World Trade Center in the skyline of New York. A total of about five scenes were manipulated in which it comes to the stop or where you can see how the airplane flies towards one of the towers.
An announced in Germany DVD edition has been postponed several times because of the dispute with Chris Carter FOX. So far, The Lone Gunmen only available in the original English version.
