How did writing for the X-Files differ from writing on Lois and Clark?
It was more restrictive in some ways. Lois and Clark was more fantasy due to its comic book nature. It was harder to come up with stories for The X-Files. Plus, by the time I got there they had already done 100 episodes. It was hard not to repeat. Which characters did you enjoy writing for more, Mulder and Scully or Lois and Clark? I enjoyed them both. Actually, the male/female investigative nature made them similar in many ways. Since I got to explore more aspects of Lois and Clark’s characters, I have to say that was the more satisfying experience. How are these characters alike and/or different? As I said, they are similar in that they fall into the same kind of genre in many respects. Mulder and Scully are more fun in that their romance is under the skin. (For those who will even admit it *is* a romance) More fun to write, I mean. Maybe not more fun to watch. Did you as a writer have any dealings with the actors on the series? Not too much. In neither case was I a producer. Though
