I made a mistake myself. What’s that, Mr. Padgett? In my book, I’d written that Agent Scully falls in love, but that’s obviously impossible. Agent Scully is already in love.
seasons five and six are just crazy. like their feelings aren't a secret but mulder flees and scully's waiting. she wants him to get out of the damn car sometimes. to just be with her. he denies himself and in turn denies her. i don't think their feelings for each other are ever the question. and not even really how he prioritizes scully but the way she wants him to do it...needs him to do it. and finally, finally after one son & amor fati, he can do it. he takes the lesson in the unnatural and stops denying himself. there's a little more safety with the syndicate mostly gone. no fowley lurking to twist his head around. he knows the truth and the truth is scully.
I need to know what the X-Files writers were smoking in season 6.
"You know that byzantine conspiracy plot we've been developing for serval years now? Yeah scrap that, we've got better things to do. Two-part body swap comedy! The Gunmen take Vegas! Alien baseball love story! Mulder and Scully trip balls while being eaten alive by carnivorous mushrooms! ALIENS WROTE THE BIBLE!!"
Coroner's report came back on Fellig. Says he died of a single gunshot wound. That's all it said. Well, I, uh... talked to your doctor and... he says you're doing great. You're making the fastest recovery he's ever seen.
Yeah, Mulder, I don't even know how I entertained the thought. People don't live forever.
No, no, I-I... I think he would have. I-I just think that … that death only looks for you... once you seek its opposite.
