The Lone Gunmen Appreciation
 

Who were The Lone Gunmen?

Melvin Frohike - was a former '60s radical and the oldest of the three. Though a skilled computer hacker, Frohike was primarily the photography specialist for the newsletter. Frohike had a lascivious attitude toward women and secretly coveted Mulder's collection of pornographic videos. However, he had a more purely romantic attitude towards Dana Scully; when she was gravely ill, Frohike appeared at the hospital in a tux carrying a flower. His unique sense of fashion made him stand out: leather jackets, furry vests, combat boots, fingerless gloves, etc. Frohike considered himself the "action man" of the trio and would often be seen doing very intense stunts (many rigged to look more impressive than they really were). Despite his childish scraps with Langly and others, Frohike's age and experience gave him a kind of quiet wisdom that occasionally surfaced when he consoled his friends about the sorry nature of their lives. In the episode "Tango de los Pistoleros," Frohike was revealed to be a former tango champion who danced under the stage name "El Lobo."

John Fitzgerald Byers - was once a menial office worker for the FCC. He was a conservative dresser with a neatly trimmed beard, a stark contrast to his grungier comrades. He is known for the famous line, "That's what we like about you, Mulder. Your ideas are even weirder than ours." He was born on November 22, 1963, the same day that President Kennedy died. His parents named him after the fallen president. His name would have been Bertram otherwise. Byers was the most "normal" of the three, and while Frohike and Langly were seemingly born angry misfits, Byers dreamed of a quiet, uneventful, suburban life. Byers' father was a high-ranking government official, but they never saw eye to eye and when Byers' father appears in the Lone Gunmen pilot, the two hadn't spoken for some time.

Richard 'Ringo' Langly] - was the most confrontational and socially immature of the three. He was a big fan of The Ramones and enjoyed critiquing the scientific inaccuracies of the short-lived sci-fi series Earth 2, and he had a long-running competition with Frohike over who was a better computer hacker. He also had "a philosophical aversion to having his image bounced off a satellite." His nickname was "Ringo". Langly was a Dungeons and Dragons player (as 'Lord Manhammer') and enjoyed violent videogames like Quake. (In the William Gibson-penned X-Files episode "First Person Shooter," Frohike and Byers were also avid gamers, an uncharacteristic development for both men and one that was never referenced again in later stories.)

And he was also on The L Word as the manager in ep "Lies, Lies, Lies"!!! haha....he is bouncing around lately....hehe i hadnt realized it was him until now :lol: thank goodness for my tapes or i wouldnt have never noticed. well i did notice him the time time around on Smallville... :)


i dont have any caps of it at the moment, but ill find some :)

This show had so much potential, and was so entertaining. FOX really made a poor choice in cancelling it.

I was also a fan of Jimmy/Yves. :)

Has anyone heard about a DVD release for the episodes that aired?

I have to admit I never watched a sinlge ep when they aired in Germany. It was on late at night and I kept forgetting about the show :(

TLG (Spoilers included)
 

OK, had to put the spoiler thing for people who haven't seen the X-Files episodes.

I have a website called "Tell Me You Didn't Say Goodbye" and each month I'm going to feature different people on movies and/or tv shows who have either died, or left for good. I just thought I'd let you all know that this month's "coverboys" are the LG themselves. If you want to check it out, the link is:

I'd appreciate it if you'd check it out and sign the guestbook for me, thanks!
