Being a conspiracy theorist and advocate of the truth behind many governments dealings I was thrilled to watch through the awesome DvD release in all its commentary glory, Magic that could of gone all the way, to the big screen and back.
I have done a lot of research and seeked much knowledge on all sorts of world matters and governments. I wonder whether the occurance of 911 and TLG perhaps stirred deep within the bowels of many an agency or organization. Perhaps FOX had to shut this down because of the hot terrorist debarcle gripping the USA at the time. Perhaps the controversy this show could of raised over real and debated issues amongst the curious would be too much for the government to control. Already JFK has dispersed into a generally understood subject by many around the globe, once apon a time even a word could of cost you your life at the right time. Perhaps the X-Files and The Lone Gunman could return given the de-sensitization of 911 and related government matters. Perhaps the drive of America towards a one world order and a different financial system by 2012 also influenced the descision to shut down the show so abruptly and stop any potential revelations about the governments or semi-known issues that could be show cased uniquely through this medium, who knows...mabye one Lone Gunmen headline would read..."Americas own government and the CIA implicated in the 911 attacks" well I am only having a ponder of all sorts of possibilities. But one thing is for sure this baby could of had massive following, a modern day Hitchhikers guide, call it whatever, my rantings may not reflect much more than some opinion BUT one thing is for sure. Enough clues and openings are left for a monumental return. Who knows, that spirit appearance could of been a Hologram...
One note though, the characters were that well played and likable for the odd qualities one could understand them enough to replay possible conclusions to the part 2 never offered after the final scene shot. We wait now patiently..
p.s we need a directors cut with extra scenes and bloops, interviews and all the fun stuff with narration etc.moreless

Relax and let TV.com's The Lone Gunmen page be your guide to the exploits of everyone's favorite hackers. The show was a spin-off from The X-Files and was Produced by Companies: * 20th Century Fox Television * Millennium Canadian Productions Ltd. * Ten Thirteen Productions. Sadly it was never renewed after its initial 13 episode order by Fox. Although, a conclusion is reached of sorts in a cross-over episode of The X Files. Distributors: The show was distributed by the Fox Network (2001) (USA) (TV), and in 2001 it Won -- Best Cinematography in TV Drama -- Robert McLachlan [For the pilot.] ------------------------------------ Trivia * The Lone Gunmen impersonate three people to get past a facial recognition security system in the episode "All About Yves", and photos of the people they impersonate appear on screen. The pictures are of executive producers Frank Spotnitz (Langly), Vince Gilligan (Frohike), and John Shiban (Byers). * The pilot episode, which first aired on March 4, 2001, concerned a terrorist plot to fly a hijacked airplane into the World Trade Center towers. * After the series was canceled following the first season finale, an episode of The X Files (1993) was dedicated to wrapping up dangling plot lines from the series. In addition to featuring the Gunmen, who made their debut on The X-Files in 1994, the episode featured the return of Jimmy Bond (Stephen Snedden), Morris Fletcher (Michael McKean), Yves Adele Harlow (Zuleikha Robinson), and Kimmy the Geek (Jim Fyfe). * "Yves Adele Harlow" is an anagram for Lee Harvey Oswald. * In the episode "Planet of the Frohikes", the "Boulle Behavioral Institute" is a in-joke reference to Pierre Boulle, the author of the original novel of "Planet of the Apes." * In the episode "Cap'n Toby", the series writer "John Gillnitz" is an amalgam of that episode's three writers: John Shiban' , Vince Gilligan, and Frank Spotnitz. * The pilot episode features a corporation called "EComCon". EComCon (a compression of "Emergency Communications and Control") is a codename for a secret base used by a rogue Air Force general to overthrow the U.S. Government in the film Seven Days in May (1964). ----------------------------------------- Soundtracks * "The Lone Gunmen" Written by Mark Snow Performed by Mark Snow Episode: {all episodes} * "Forever Young" Written by Bob Dylan Performed by The Band Episode: {"Untitled #1AEB11" aka "The Capt'n Toby Show" (2001) (ep. #1.13)} ------------------------- Release dates USA -- 4 March 2001 Australia -- 31 August 2001 Finland -- 20 June 2002 Germany -- 30 January 2003 Belgium -- 2 March 2004 Sweden -- 25 April 2004 Poland -- 9 October 2004 --------------------------------------- Filming Locations 1.
