Gillian Anderson Helped Create Scully's Season 8 Theme

“Anderson wanted to include "The Sky Is Broken", a song from Moby's 1999 album Play in the episode, as she felt that the song's lyrics "fit with [the] idea that was unfolding for the script".[17] Anderson crafted the first shot after the opening credits, which involved Scully getting ready while water dripped from a sink, to create a "continuation of sound, rhythmic sound", because it was important to the show's musical aspect.[18] Anderson and series composer Mark Snow worked together in post-production; after filming, she sent Snow several CDs of music and asked him for compositions that were similar in style and feel.[19] A certain melody that the two worked on later became "Scully's Theme", which was not broadcast until the eighth season episode "Within".[20]

Movie #10 of 2024: The X Files

I've been watching the series on Hulu and they remastered it for widescreen t.v.'s and some of the framing is hilarious when they block the actors super close together in the center of the screen.

The first three seasons are fantastic. My favorite episode is probably "Squeeze" which includes snap crackling pop dialog from Mulder like, "Is there anyway I can get it off my fingers quickly without betraying my cool exterior?" [shakes hand wildy]

My other favorite aspect of the early seasons includes on location shooting in Vancouver so nearly every episode they're in a forest. This dynamic led to magnificent storytelling decisions facilitated by editing such as Mulder knocking on Scully's door and handing her a ticket because they've got to get on a plane to leave D.C. and fly to Washington state. Smash cut to Mulder and Scully in a 1994 Ford Taurus driving INTO DANGER (a forest). Because something bad and scary happened there (forest bad)!

Oh yeah, they also made this dumb movie at some point in between seasons. Duchovny and Anderson exude tiredness as they over and under emote their way through this oddly paced nothingburger of a movie that serves as a way to kill the one cool old english guy and doesn't make a whole lotta sense continuity wise. And then they've gotta get right back to work on the next season. It's fine.

You think Mark Snow knew he was dropping the dopest theme song ever created?

the great british bake off c. tom howe / signs (2002) c. james newton howard / the umbrella academy s2e3 c. jeff russo, perrine virgile / the x-files: fight the future (1998) c. mark snow / interstellar (2014) c. hans zimmer

whenever this music starts playing on bake off, my brain goes here. nonsense! this bit of tension-ish music is generic enough it pings on a lot of things so i'm including the umbrella academy and x-files scenes as well because they've been in my notes app to check for years now 😂 just laughing that it's apparently cornfield panic music. all this music gets less and less similar but i'll call it variation on a theme :P the umbrella academy now actually makes me think of the matrix but i couldn't figure out what bit and i've already wasted too much time on something no one cares about 🤪 and i was gonna link how interstellar's cornfield chase is so different - but it's like the hopeful version!

When we’re forced to accept what seems unacceptable...

[Sarah Chauncey]

Not only at rock bottom but this loss... I never expected so... suddenly. But as with everything else that life has thrown my way, it changes in an instant.

I’m here but I’m not. I feel stuck between two worlds. If I come around, it’s distraction. If not, the anguish is ready to swallow me up.

I do have angels all around me, at my side. Even though it seems so lonely where I’m at.

I felt the love, the strength of your light. Hand to heart, you have no idea how grateful, humbled I am to receive it, to be seen and I thank you with my whole soul.

I love you. Thank you.

I will be in and out, if anything.
