so I realize all sci-fi is ultimately a parable for the human experience but even within those parameters, the way Mulder and Scully experience defeat and loss is so human. most other genre shows (many of them great–the show I’m thinking of is Fringe, which did this at top level) throw roadblocks in front of their characters like time travel or alternate-universe doubles. for Mulder and Scully it’s cancer, it’s losing a child or the government taking your job. even abduction is treated like a missing person’s case. they investigate realms of extreme possibility but exist in the world of actual possibility and I think that’s part of why they’ve stuck with us. this job takes from them in the same way the world takes from us. we speak the same language

the second scully entered mulder's office she signed over the rights for her personal space to him and only him and he did the same.
all they know how to do is gaze at each other, have intense eye contact, be bisexual, and lie to the government.
