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.
Err… I’m just gonna bonk myself. Gillian Anderson was like my first celebrity crush and that second picture is… whew.
Also Duchovny lookin pretty good too to be fair.
It is an absolute tragedy that Aquarius got cancelled.
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 ___
I’m pro x-files and I’m not saying it’s problematic but neither is it enlightened that the woman character is there to tell the man no. It’s like Skyler saying “I get to be the b*** mom again” because she won’t let Walt rock.
I DO appreciate how sexless their partnership is. ‘Hey Scully’s got the goods, what if the monster tears her clothes off a little bit’. We’re lucky the show wasn’t in other’s hands.
Mulder is definitely the fun parent. Scully is the one the judge makes you live with.
Is the show good to watch today? Been thinking about it.
