[grabs your shirt] listen. listen to me. the practical is holy. the everyday is sacred. the simple act of surviving is divine. do you get it? sanctity begins at home, in the hands that build and the lives we live and the deaths we die and the worms that eat our bodies. if making something by hand is not worthy of veneration then nothing is.

the thing about maggie scully in wetwired is she remember's scully's reaction when she thought mulder was dead and how everything she held true started to fall apart without him and everything she did was wrong if mulder was dead. maggie remembers when scully was missing and mulder was a pillar of strength for her who never gave up on scully even as he so clearly couldn't hold it together. he asked about scully's cross and tried to give it to maggie but she returned it to him and he wore it around his neck. she remembers him in the hospital, screaming at doctors, desperately trying to keep her alive despite signing her living will, the way he sat at her bedside and showed up with a silly video tape & returned her necklace to her. she remembers what scully said to him: "i had the strength of your beliefs."

so when scully comes to her house after mulder told her that scully's gone missing & they aren't exactly sure what happened, and scully is ranting to her about mulder deceiving her and abducting her and putting a chip in her neck — she tried to deal with it on her own, talk her daughter down until mulder wouldn't let her do it alone. she stands in front of mulder to stop her daughter who she knows is not in her right mind. she's protecting mulder, but so much more than that she's protecting scully, the only daughter she has left who rarely turns to her mother for anything, who keeps her own counsel and only came to her twice in the last year. both times because of mulder. maggie scully is under no illusions of what's between her daughter & mulder, and she knows how important scully's job & partnership are to her regardless. maggie can imagine how the weight of killing or hurting mulder would destroy scully. she already shot him to protect him, and i think that was incredibly hard for her to do.

i think maggie has a tough time connecting to & understanding scully, but mulder isn't one of those things (well, not completely lol)

So last week I bitched about having to turn on my A/C for a day. I'm back to bitch about having to turn the heat back on this morning. Gotta love living in the Midwest during the spring. Every day is a crap shoot.

So I finished ER tonight. It was a nice to see so many of the OGs show up in the last few episodes. It wasn't as satisfying as, say, the finale of Lost or of The Leftovers, nor was it as disappointing as the finale of TXF, but it managed to make me tear up here and there. And John Carter was right back where he started, so that was fitting.

But I think if and when I go back for another rewatch, I'll probably stop when Carter goes back to Africa.

OTOH, it was worth watching S15 just to see Neela finally get her shit together and choose Ray and a quieter life.

“Let him grow taller, she asked the gods. Let him know sixteen, and twenty, and fifty. Let him grow as tall as his father, and hold his own son in his arms. Please, please, please. As she watched him, this tall young man with the new beard and the direwolf prowling at his heels, all she could see was the babe they had laid at her breast at Riverrun, so long ago.”
