The Lone Gunmen Appreciation Thread #2: the three weirdos of the interwebs.
The Lone Gunmen appreciation thread 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."

How did everyone feel about Langly‘s appearance in season 11 (and their cameo in Mulder’s dream/hallucination from season 10). Were you happy with how they were used, or do you wish that the revival had written them differently?

Well, I guess if for once if the X-Files is gonna be realistic (), its that the Gunmen really are deceased so it makes sense, they would appear in some hallucination dream of Mulder!
I'm glad they brought Langly back for a cameo in season 11 too. And I suppose it was somewhat creative how they brought him back, but kind of sad if he's trapped like that!! Well its not really him, right? It was so sci-fi-y! Maybe a more fun way to bring them back would be to bring in the alien clone idea from season 2 or 3 and they are clones in the form of the Gunmen!! __________________

Honestly yeah, they were a lot of fun as background characters, but I’m surprised they decided to create an entire show based around them. I don’t really see them as leading men I’m afraid It would still be interesting to see the episodes though

Yeah, I didn’t think their characters were fit for “lead characters”.

The episodes centred around them were fun on The X-Files as one-offs, just not really something that I would want to watch every week
