To aid people wanting to play the Surviour game in the XF forum I thought I would do a quick lowdown on the major writers to jog your memories and aid selection for voting.
Lets start with the bigwigs shall we...
CHRIS CARTER - Series creater and therefore considered by some to be a god. He has however also achieved a name for himself as being a pr1ck about continuity and character development. He has a had a hand in most of the Myth arc eps and is responsible for MOTW's like Triangle, Irresitble and Syzygy but also the much disliked Space.
FRANK SPOTNITZ - A major writer from early on that stuck with the show. He is most known for being the man behind the Myth Arc but he also wrote a few stand alones such as Alone and Leonard Betts.
MORGAN AND WONG - A great writing pair that wrote alot of the early MOTW episodes such as ICE and Squeeze. They left the show at the end of season 2 but then returned for a while in season 4 with Never Again and Home. They also dabbled in the Myth Arc in that they are responsible for One Breath.
VINCE GILLIGAN - Gilligan wrote many many episodes for the show starting way back with softlight and was still writting episodes in season 9. Most of his stories are very intense for example Paper Heats and Pusher however he is also responsible for 2 great comedies Small Potatoes and Dreamland.
JOHN SHIBAN - wrote a number of episodes for the show depersed throughout the series. His episodes tend to be a little strange and quiet dark. For example he is responsible for Teso Dos **** Elegy and Badlaa
DARIN MORGAN - The funny man among the writing team. He is resposible for most of the shows comedy episodes including the first Humbug. He also helps write some more serious episodes including Blood and Host (in which he played the flukeman).
DAVID DUCHOVNEY - Not happy being just a star of the show David started contributing to the writing of the Myth Arc episodes as early on as Colony. In season 7 he also wrote to stand alone episodes The Unnatural (Black Sun) and Hollywood AD.
HOWARD GORDON - One of the main writters for the show in the first 5 seasons. Originally working with Gansa and then on his own to write very original episodes such as Fresh Bones, Dod Kalm and D.P.O.
ALEX GANSA - An early writer on the show working as part of a writing team with Gorgon. He is responsible for episodes like Conduit, Lazarus and Ghost in the Machine. He also introduced us all to Max Fenig in Fallen Angel.
JEFF BELL - A writer for the show from season 6 wrote a range of stand alone episodes including The Goldberg Variation, Alpha and Salvage.
DAVID AMANN - Wrote a number of stand alones from season 7 on wards. His reseme includes Rush, Chimera and Hellbound.
STEVEN MAEDA - Started writing late in the life of the show episodes he is responsible for include Vienen, 4D and Audrey Pauley.
GREG WALKER- Another later episode writer responsible for episodes such as Brand X, Sure Kill and Empedocles.
