director: Kim Manners

STARRING:

David Duchovny as Special Agent Fox Mulder

Gillian Anderson as Special Agent Dana Scully

Guest Cast:

James Pickens Jr. as Assistant Director Kersh

Michael McKean as Morris Fletcher

The plotline involves Mulder finally making it to Area 51, it's a two-parter and will be a comedy, or at least have comedic overtones.

From the storyline for "Dreamland 2", it seems this one will end when Mulder and a man named Morris Fletcher, an employee at Area 51, a Man In Black who looks exactly like him, are engaged in a fight. Suddenly a UFO flies over them, their bodies are fused and they somehow trade places.

Just go with it, okay?

A number of visitors pointed out that "Dreamland" is a nickname for Area 51. It may have originated with the test pilots at Nellis Air Force base who fly the experimental "aircraft" we all know they do. As we mortals can only imagine, the pilots say it's a dream to fly these aircraft. And, Art Bell <http://www.artbell.com> hosts a nationally syndicated radio show on Sunday evenings called "Dreamland" which is apparently taped near Area 51. Or should I say, he used to. He quit his job recently under rather mysterious circumstances.

Guest star Michael McKean's name may sound familiar to you. First came to the public's notice on the TV series, "Laverne & Shirley", as Lenny of Lenny and Squiggy. Had a big hit with the movie, "This Is Spinal Tap", one of my faves, and had a recurring role on the series, "Dream On" as the slimy Aussie boss.

According to the excellent Pennsylvania X-Files Site <http://squirrelsnest.com/x-files/>, a line from the script:

Mulder: "Your full name is Dana Katherine Scully -- do you remember that?"

There, ponder on THAT for a while!
