These are responses I got to the survey I began last spring for the 4th season's finale in regard to Mulder's apparent suicide. I'm happy to say, "I'm psychic!" as I forecasted a very accurate outcome.
Ann & Stan's Conspiracy Theories
Stan:
The (preview for the season finale) was announced as "the truth will cost one of them their lives." But they haven't found the truth yet, so they're both still alive. Agent Mulder doesn't trust Scully and he's trying to elude her by faking his death because he thinks she's working for the people who want to keep aliens secret from the public. Scully is being misled by the man she tried to arrest because her own weakness is to find a convenient explanation for the origin of her cancer. Mulder is right: the man she brought to him with explanations is lying about everything.
Ann:
I think both Mulder and Scully are in on the conspiracy of faking his own death. Scully knew Mulder's suicide was fake. As she enters the room to identify the body, notice her rather straight face. There is hardly any emotion. This is not the expression of someone who has just lost her partner she's worked with for 4 years, let alone someone she probably has deeper feelings for. When she was discrediting Mulder's work to the panel, she hardly cracked. This was right after he was found dead! Scully may be a sceptic, but she's not an ice queen! She showed a little emotion when she mentioned him being found dead with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, but that was just an act to make them believe she was saddened so they will think he is actually no more. The X-Files (the case, not the TV show) will continue, but obviously more covertly than it was before. This way they stand a better chance at uncovering "the truth."
This is my favorite submission! Mulder has actually been abducted to the Black Lodge. Major Briggs, one of the USAF administrators behind Project Blue Book, was recently caught sending email to Mulder. It stands to reason that Fox would have naturally approached FBI Department Head Gordon Cole for further details relating to the the dissappearance of Agents Dale Cooper and Chester Desmond and the information passed to him by the good major. Undoubtedly, Mulder headed for Twin Peaks as fast as he could, got spaced on Cherry Pie and too much caffeine, and got transported to the Black Lodge. With little effort, "Killer Bob" and the Little Man From Another Place were able to subvert Mulder and send back a doppelganger in his place. Obviously, it is the doppelganger which has died, and Mulder is languishing with Cooper in the surreal confines of the Lodge. The only real question is, will Scully and Deputy Andy manage to team up in time to save them?
-Charles DeVitoIt's just like the new Alien Resurection movie. When it comes to genetic manipulation, anything is possible. It was a clone that some aliens made of Mulder. In fact there are hundreds of Mulders running around.
-ZamiseWill someone please send one of those Mulder clones to me?

Sad as it is for me to believe, much less admit, I think Fox Mulder may actually have killed himself. Faced with the truth that was out there, no one would be able to take it easily and Fox has spent his entire life trying to find out what really happened. To be proved that all his work was leading to a government hoax...well, that was apt to be more than he could take.
As much as I would like to believe that Fox was stronger than that...I believe this is the only way Fox Mulder's search for the truth could end.
-Jason Allen BaretskyThe "theory" is, Duchovny wanted to leave the series to pursue more $$$$$$ making movies.
-Tim MitchellScully and Mulder cooked up this little lie to smoke out the bad guys...wanting them to think that Scully is on their side, until they reveal their story and Mulder can come back to life, after all they faked the alien right? They can fake Mulder's death too.
-Andrue
-DonActually, my mom is Czech, pronounces it similarly, and she says it means "soulful" or "spiritual." Either way it's kind of appropo. Here's her take on it: I think an alien has morphed into Mulder. That's who Scully saw in the body bag.
-My MomSome people are saying that he wants to leave the show, and that would be that. Even still, everyone knows that the show would suffer from this, and those in charge are going to do everything they can to keep him around. They could easily go back on this episode, by saying that one of the aliens (or other various mutants in the show) was snooping around looking like him, and ended up getting killed by something.
I hope that he lives. Fox is too cool to die.

UNLESS, they find another "believer"! Remember we are talking about the worlds BEST in organized crime, the U.S. Government !
I really think X Files is: Intro to OUR Real Govenment
Or Slow intro to Area 51 and other Sites !
-Tim StreetmanDuh, as we saw the story unfold, we're told the "alien body" was actually a construct of chimera cells or whatever. Remember too, the Smithsonian scientist conducting the autopsy believed he was dissecting a real eyeball and cutting a real ribcage. The only posssible 'gotcha' is that most states require autopsies of people who die violently. In a real autopsy, all the vital organs are weighed and examined...
...An interesting twist is the allegation that the "govt." gave (Scully) cancer.
Didja ever notice all the Federal prisoners who died of cancer while in custody, like Jack Ruby and Reyes Tijerina ? There was a rash of deaths in the '60s.
-Ruben RodriguezI aggree with Zamise that the body they say was Mulder is really a clone. Mulder can't die or the show is finished! Right?
-DANI WANT TO BELIEVE. I want to believe that Mulder isn't dead! I cried with him and felt the pain he felt when he came to the realization that everything he worked for could be a lie. Mulder has spent his whole life searching for Samantha through paranormal phenomena. But when Samantha was abducted he lost more then just a sister, his entire family fell apart. He has been searching for that bond that was lost as well. Mulder hadn't had a decent relatoinship since. Untill Scully. Scully was someone he could trust in a world of the untrustible. Mulder has used her strength to help him carry on, especially in times of crisis. When Mulder's father was killed he felt he was responsible and through that grief and loss he came to depend on Scully even more. (Scully has had her share of crisis, too. And she has equally depended on Mulder for his strength.). The thought of Scully dying BECAUSE of Mulder breaks his heart! His killing Scully (not to mention his whole life being a lie ) is probebly the only thing that would drive Mulder to suicide. But Mulder is also very strong and does not give up easy! Even when faced with insurmountable odds. There are hundreds of things that could have happened to the real Mulder that would leave a false body for Scully to identify. As for Scully, I think that she believes that Mulder is in fact dead. She has never been one to show her emotions, especially not in public. I think the tears she shed were very real. Scully's goal from the very beginning was to uncover the truth, no matter what. She would want to spread that truth as quickly as possible, especially because her partner's, and friend's, life had been lost in the process of finding it. It will be interesting to see how Mulder's death affects Scully and his other friends (and enemies).
Of course, DD (David Duchovny) has made no attempt to hide the fact that he is sick and tired of The Show and will bolt when his five year contract is up.
Maybe they let him out of it early.
I know its gonna be torture but we'll just have to wiat and see.
-MOIf David Duchovny wants out, perhaps Mulder is dead. If DD is staying another season, obviously he can't be dead. I've heard all kinds of rumors. He's going to go. He's going to stay. If he goes, it's over. If DD is indeed signed for another season I think it reads like this:
Mulder has orchestrated a clever ruse to make Cancer man and his ilk believe he is dead.
He's seen too much and experienced too much to let the man Scully found convince him everything was faked. He's actually met some of the alien clones, and has seen their laboratories. He's seen aliens on numerous occasions, and has even interacted with them. He has always believed in an alien presence and a government plot to suppress that fact. He certainly wouldn't give up so easily. He's been up against far greater walls than the 'man with the truth' before. He would certainly be sad that Scully was made ill in furtherance of the government plot, but he would get over his sadness and get good and mad. The knowledge that she'd been made ill deliberately would infuriate him. He'd be more determined than ever to get to the root of the government conspiracy.
Scully believes him to be dead. Cancer man, believing Mulder to be dead and no longer needing Scully's illness as a lever, will relent and release the medical knowledge necessary to cure her.
Mulder'll begin work, deep cover. He has his trailer park Mufon buddies with all their expetise to draw on. They'll gladly help him and provide him with a place to work from. I believe he'll pop up in a couple episodes, find Scully, and together they'll spend the rest of the fifth season finding the 'truth' of the government's plans to suppress knowledge of an alien presence on earth.

I must confess, at first I was mortified at the thought of Fox Mulder being dead - I mean, let's face it, not only is he nice to look at, but he has those great one-liners that make the X-Files even more spectacular. So, after I had gotten over my grief for his loss, I realized that he has a contract to do the show through next year... How could he POSSIBLY be dead! (I knew that it was below even FOX *the network* to have the main character appear as a ghost for an entire season).
Now you are asking, if not Fox, then who was in his apartment, dead? Well, that is not as cut and dry, but I do have several ideas. The first being that Agent Skinner, being so obviously disgusted with his own recent acts of corpse stealing and evidence tampering, couldn't take it anymore, went over to Mulder's apartment to come clean, and was killed by someone sent to kill Mulder. The second idea is that the body was planted there by Mulder himself - knowing that his own life was in danger, he took one of the bodies from the "secret alien laboratory" and left it in his apartment.
I can't really be positive, but I am willing to bet that it is one of the above. Can't wait to find out!
