Scully saves Mulder’s ass far more often than the reverse and tends to take a much more methodical and tactical approach to any given situation. She also is portrayed as the more level headed of the two which is obvious because she is the skeptic foil to Fox I-Want-To-Believe Mulder, but she’s never treated as ignorant or flippant in her skepticism and occasional dismissal of Mulder’s tendency to jump to conclusions, and the show always ends with her thoughtful analysis of whatever case they are working on.
I’m a big fan of the dichotomy of her science and logic based reasoning coupled with her religious faith. Meanwhile Mulder believes anything and everything under the sun someone tells him but doesn’t get Scullys religious convictions. Absolute good shit ___
