>It's a scully is conveniently off screen when an alien UFO flies overhead so she doesn't see it so she can continue to bully Mulder by being a skeptic of all the hundreds of paranormal events he has witnessed over the years, despite her witnessing several of these events herself she still remains fully skeptical of any of Mulder's claims episode

Doggett was great but Reyes was fucking shit and their romance made no sense whatsoeever.

>>83673466
there is a definitive turning point for Scully in the episode "Clyde Bruckman’s Final Repose", which is only season 3. She knows internally that the paranormal is fact, but it isn't like flipping a switch to where everything abstractly witnessed or anything Mulder says is true. After this point Scully has belief in the paranormal as real, but chooses to handle this uncertainty via her methods as a doctor and scientist rather than outright faith. Unless, of course, it's actually faith.

Episodes become increasingly about how Mulder will go down the rabbit hole past the point of reality, which allows Scully's viewpoint to take on weight.

In addition, where as Mulder falls in love with Scully at a very very early point in the show, Scully is not truly spellbound by Mulder until around the same time as she begins to internally accept the paranormal. Initially her loyalty is strongly to the FBI, and gives Mulder the respect she feels he deserves as a fellow agent, but after the turning point her loyalty falls with Mulder, and gives the FBI respect she feels it deserves. This is internal realization that the paranormal is in fact a magical world she has stepped into and with it Mulder becomes enchanting too. Her resistance to the paranormal then is her way of playing hard-to-get; she'll steal a longer look at Mulder when she can, savor the moments he's on one of his 'it was aliens' tirades, and taunt him with her "science" counterpoints.*

Later, as Duchovny demands more money and the writers can't get the story-arcs to be smooth and sublime and the show is forced a shakeup to keep its longevity, Scully and Mulder's love for each other is assumed to have been pronounced in secret from the audience, and Scully becomes the believer and Dogget the skeptic. This works(anything else at this point is nonsense), and we get our love scene over baby William eventually, but you cannot match the magic of season 1-5 Mulder and Scully.

episode was literally mulder+scully shipping porn. I remember it so precisely.

Krycek/CGB Spender/The Lone Gunmen episodes were comfiest/best

>>83678211

So once again the entire belief system of a women depends on the man she wants?

The Christmas episode is the best one for them. The ghost house one.

*asterisk was to comment that, since I was a late bloomer on the x-files fandom, I was really, really afraid that instead of Scully being caught up in Mulder's crusade and falling for him over it, that the show would do some modern PC thing where Scully would

instead she sings jeremiah was a bullfrog to him while they cuddle in the woods for warmth after they both nearly die over one of Mulder's stupid off-the-books escapades

I will never forget Mulder in that moment of protest when she drags him closer to her

Yes.

Unironically there are also many women viewers who like to fantasy insert themselves as Scully and think Mulder is the perfect man.

Survived because he got turned into a Super Soldier in season 10.

He died when they figured out that Super Soldiers are magnetic so they lured him into a mining quarry and the metal in the rocks sucked him into a cliffside and he splattered into pieces.

>Scully hanging on his every word, playing through his weekend adventure by phone proxy.

Why are all the episodes where Mulder and Scully are in different places and periodically keep in contact by phone, always so comfy?

>>83679671
>Why are all the episodes where Mulder and Scully are in different places and periodically keep in contact by phone, always so comfy?
It's the building of intimacy between the characters. Like in quagmire, when they were stranded on a rock in the middle of the lake 10 feet from the shore and they talked for a good 15 minutes.
