RIP

Yeah he may not have been in many episodes, only Beyond the Sea and One Breath, but they were two excellent episodes both featuring some memorable scenes that he was a part pf

One of my favorite shows of all time was Twin Peaks. He had some great, memorable scenes, and just an awesome character. He (and that show) will be greatly missed. With his passing, it's just another reason we'll probably never see that show properly concluded.

Kim Manners who directed a lot of the episodes of X-files and currently was working on Supernatural a few days ago.

Thoughts and prayers with his family

From e-online

Quote:

Kim Manners, the veteran TV producer-director who helmed dozens of episodes of The X-Files and Supermatural, died Sunday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles from lung cancer. He was 59.

Hailing from a showbiz family, Manners first broke into the TV business in the 1970s as a production manager and director on Charlie's Angels. He went on to work on such series as Star Trek: The Next Generation, 21 Jump Street and Baywatch until he got the call for The X-Files.

It was on Chris Carter's hit sci-fi mystery series where Manners made his mark, scoring four Emmy nominations for his work. All told he directed 52 episodes of The X-Files.

"Kim had a blazing intensity that inspired everyone—writers, producers, actors and crew...as long as he'd been a director, he never lost his passion for his work. Every time he got a script, he gave it his all," X-Files writer-producer Frank Spotnitz writes on his blog.

"Kim was an incredible force of life. It is hard for me to believe or accept that he is gone."

After The X-Files ended, Manners helped launch Supernatural in 2005, directing many of its most memorable episodes, including the season finales.

"Everyone at Supernatural is walking around in a daze, shocked and absolutely devastated," Supernatural mastermind Eric Kripke said in a statement. "Kim was a brilliant director; more than that, he was a mentor and friend."

Oh that's a real shame. And he died on my birthday as well.

He directed so many great X-Files episodes - Humbug, War of the Coprophages, Home. Leonard Betts, Dreamland, Monday, Closure etc as well as being involved as a producer with so many other classics. So he really did have a huge impact and influence over how great the show was

Rest in Peace.

Rest in Peace Kim

He done some of my favourite episodes. Will be very sorely missed. Thoughts with family and friends.

RIP Kim, you directed some fantastic episodes both on The X-Files and on SPN

You will be missed!
