John Doggett- I'm really liking the guy

[HeyLynny]

I liked Doggett. I did miss Mulder's sense of humor, but Doggett brought something different to the show. And yes, I also can't stop thinking of him as the terminator.

As much as i hate to say this and admit it...i'm starting to genuinely like the guy. Gah! I never wanted to like him because i loved Mulder and didnt want anybody replacing him but now, although i miss Mulder in every way possible, i'm warming up to Doggett. I realize that he does have a sense of humour, and a life outside work, etc etc and although he will never be Mulder, he will do. I can put up with him yay me

:fangs:xxx:smokin:

 

[HeyLynny]

No one can ever replace Mulder, Dogget is just a different guy doing Mulder's old job. That's how I looked at it. It helped me to not just automatically hate his character.

 

[angelle myst]

lol, i did actually hate the character, but i got over it, and i'm glad, cos it would've been hard to get through season 9 hating the guy

:fangs:xxx:smokin:

 

[HeyLynny]

I'm glad you don't hate him any more. You're right, it would have made the last season not very enjoyable for you.

 

[angelle myst]

I was kinda bummed for most of season 8, but then i was jumping for joy when i saw Existence so i was happy how that ended, and i could get over the fact that DD had left and Doggett was all there was left over *sigh*

There is actually another movie planned for 2004 (IIRC) release and theres more info in the X-Files Movie forums

[HeyLynny]

I had heard that, but I wasn't sure if it was a definate. I'm glad theres a release date!

 

[Diamond9697]

yeah...only two more years to wait for it *sighs* as for Doggett....

Okay...hated him to begin with and not just cause he replaced Mulder...the whole character bugged me....however...I did start to like him after a while

 

[angelle myst]

He's one of those characters you love to hate, then hate to love.

:fangs:xxx:smokin:

 

[Diamond9697]

oh yeah, most definitely.

I think what I liked the most about him was the way his relationship changed with Scully. I mean at first you could tell she didn't like him and I know it's because she thought of him as a replacement for Mulder...then she warmed up to him as time went on because he was obviously so very different from him.

It's funny but it really parallels the way a lot of the fans felt about Doggett and I liked that aspect.

 

[angelle myst]

Yeah, as Scully accepted him more and more, so did we i know that when i realized he wasnt going to replace Mulder and they werent just going to shove Mulders character under the rug and just forget about him, i softened toward Doggett considerably

[Diamond9697]

*nods* yeah, that was pretty much my reaction too. I mean he was definitely no Mulder, but he brought his own personality to the show and after a while I appreciated him for who he was.

 

[angelle myst]

Also, i thought it was kinda cool how he read every single X-File case dedication the job or what!?

[Diamond9697]

yep, especially for aomeone who is a "nonbeliever"!

 

[angelle myst]

lol, i know, it musta taken him forever!

He's not my fav character, but he'll do
