David Duchovny was spotted out and about with longtime friend and ex-girlfriend Maggie Wheeler (yes, Janice from Friends) yesterday. 

Maggie — who actually has a beautiful voice — also sang the hauntingly gorgeous version of “Michael, Row the Boat Ashore” at the end of S9 episode “William,” directed by David Duchovny.

Is there anything that livens up an American Gods scene more than the captivating, off-kilter addition of Gillian Anderson’s Media? We think not, especially given the X-Files alum’s highly entertaining performance in Sunday’s Season 1 finale.

Gillian: “The fears that live inside of us, whatever they are, and however they manifest, prevent us from living our highest potential as individuals, as contributors to the human race. If we can consciously and vigilantly transmute those fears into compassion for others, we will know what it is to live a peaceful existence on this planet.“

Question: If there was just one piece of wisdom you could leave behind for humanity, what would it be?

Gillian’s Answer: “The phrase I think has been the most powerful and comforting and effective to me over the years has been “don’t quit before the miracle”. I love that and it is so helpful.“

This story is a sequel to the Terra Firma series. It takes place years after part 6 of Terra Firma ended, and it assumes a basic familiarity with the series. If you read Riptide as a stand alone story, here is what you need to know: the Terra Firma series is an alternative universe where seasons 9& 10 never happened. Mulder and Scully are married and raising William and a second child, Claire. The family lives in the suburbs of Washington, DC where Mulder is a science fiction novelist and Scully is a doctor. Most of the setting for Riptide, however, is Martha’s Vineyard where Mulder and Scully own a lighthouse that has been refurbished into a summer home. In this story, William is 16 and Claire is 13.
