Manners directed some of my favorite episodes of “The X-Files.” Not only did I love “Quagmire,” but I also thought “Humbug” was a great deal of fun, and “War of the Copraphages” made me snort coffee out of my nose laughing the first time I saw it.

Now, while I still laugh when re-watching it, I know when not to take a sip of tasty beverage.

His directing style and sense of humor will definitely be missed.

Quagmire is actually one of my favorite episodes. On the surface it’s kind of a goofy story but I really appreciate the dialogue exchange between Mulder and Scully in this episode. It’s one of those episodes that really define them and their relationship to each other.

Manners, in my mind, will be remembered as a pioneer in the genres of Sci Fi and Paranormal and helped served as one of the catalyst for the popular marriage of these two different but related fields. He will be missed.

‘Quagmire’ is definitely one of my favorite X-Files episodes; the sequence when Mulder & Scully get stranded on the lake’s island and Scully tells Mulder that he behaves like a reckless Ahab in search of his white whale plucked a deep chord in me.

What a sad news. Rest in Peace
