All Eyes Lead to the Truth | Dreamland II (6x05)

After spending some time with Mulder’s partner, a few things had become glaringly obvious to Morris. For starters, these two had never bumped uglies. They might’ve investigated a lot of weird creatures in their time on the X-Files, but the beast with two backs sure as hell wasn’t one of them. Dana was so tightly wound, he wouldn’t be surprised if she’d never gotten laid — either of them for that matter. The idea that the FBI’s best and brightest were a bunch of pent-up, sexually repressed virgins really shed light on the state of affairs of this country. So much for Bill Clinton’s America.

Initially, he’d wondered if maybe they had some torrid past that they ignored. Maybe they did the deed during their fed training and then got saddled with each other as partners. That was the only thing he could think of that would explain all the touching. God, had this woman ever heard of personal space? It was like every conversation they had required her to be less than six inches from his face at minimum, but heaven forbid you tried to lean in for a kiss. Sheesh.

However, he was confident in saying that nothing had ever happened between them. What a sick joke. Why they hadn’t, Morris would never understand, but it just confirmed his theory that Fox Mulder had a talent for wasting his potential. He also felt confident saying that Special Agent Dana Scully needed to get laid. Pronto.

Poor girl was so uptight, she needed to be shown a good time, and he knew more than a few ways to help her to unwind. Sure, maybe he wasn’t the ‘real’ Fox Mulder she’d always dreamt of jumping in the sack with, but he figured a little benevolent chicanery would be mutually satisfying for both of them. 

Morris thought it would have taken some convincing. He’d been getting the impression that his particular brand of charm wasn’t endearing to her, but based on the way her eyes practically fluttered shut at his dinner invitation, she’d been wanting this for a while.

The plan was in motion, now it was all down to the execution. 

Unfortunately, even from 2,500 miles away, Fox Mulder was still managing to cockblock himself. Morris had been frozen in place ever since opening the door to the bedroom — though to call it that felt like a bastardization of the English language. He’d never seen anything quite like this. It wasn’t like the rest of the apartment was in the running to be on the cover of Better Homes and Gardens by any means, but at least it was hospitable. This just looked like the den of an insane person. 

That thought elicited a frown from Morris. If this man was crazy, did that mean Morris would inherit his neuroses? On a physical level, he’d certainly enjoyed experiencing this new level of intense virility, but he certainly didn’t want to adopt whatever mental defect it is that causes a grown man to hoard copies of PLAYPEN. As if taunting him, another box of magazines fell in the corner of the room.

With a sigh of resignation, Morris set the candles down on a nearby table and grabbed the nearest phone book, flipping his way to the garbage disposal section of the Yellow Pages and ignoring the various pages that were dogeared for adult entertainment stores. He settled on calling one of those companies specializing in the quick removal of large amounts of garbage. If anything in that room was truly important, they wouldn’t be treated like a diorama of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. 

The couch had been so worn-in and comfortable that he’d accidentally fallen asleep there, so he hadn’t had a chance to assess the severity of the issue until now. Thank god whatshername, the hot blonde secretary, had to go early the other day. He cringed trying to think of what he would have done if he’d tried to bring her to the bedroom, only to find all those boxes of worthless junk filling the room. Then again, Fox Mulder was so attractive to the ladies that he’d probably be forgiven for being such a slovenly pig.

Glancing at the clock, Morris took note that he still had a bit of time before Dana would be arriving for their date. Even when everything was removed, the bedroom was still an issue. How was he expected to seduce a woman in a room that smelled like stale air on a mattress that was ruined by the weight of 100 boxes?

He rubbed his hands across his face in frustration, but took some comfort in the fact he was becoming more accustomed to feeling the new ridges and planes of his face as opposed to the ones he’d spent the past 53 years with. That and the absence of a ring on his left hand revitalized his spirits. This was probably for the best. After all, if the tacky, kitsch decor in the living room was anything to judge by, the bedroom already was in need of a Morris Fletcher makeover. He’d make that room so sensual, a nun’s panties would drop just from stepping over the threshold. 

Taking a chance, he flipped through the various piles of mail on Mulder’s kitchen table until he found what he was looking for: Sears Catalog. He dialed the number on the cover and listened to the hold music play before cradling the phone against his shoulder, licking his fingers as he began flipping through the magazine. He had only flipped through a few pages in the mattress section when a full-page spread of a woman with her head thrown back in subdued ecstasy caught his attention just as the representative answered the phone. 

“Hello? Yes. I’d like to place an order for same-day delivery,” he stated, a sly grin spreading across his face as he imagined Dana in place of the woman on the ad.

TRUE PLEASURE IS…

After only one season of 13 episodes, the X-Files (1993 - 2018) spin-off The Lone Gunmen (2001) series finale aired on May 11, 2001. The episode had been written simply as a season finale, so the hanging plotlines were concluded in the X-Files episode "Jump the Shark" (2002). The episode had a surprise cameo by David Duchovny as Fox Mulder and brought over popular X-Files character Morris Fletcher (Michael McKean). ("All About Yves", The Lone Gunmen, TV Event)

Well at least in Morris Fletcher I think langly finally got that nemesis he needed

Cut line:

“A Scully we’ve never seen before...”

Cut lines: Byers gives Susanne her new name...

[youcouldstartacult]

okay now that “The Show: The Encore” is out:

[dionysus-complex]

while I'm on the topic, the Mulder/Scully ship works in part because they use each other's last names as pet names. which is why it feels fucking bizarre to imagine Mulder calling Scully "Dana" or (even worse) Scully calling Mulder "Fox"

[heystephen]

this is just for funsies but dw i know there’s a few notable ppl not represented, i will add a follow up 🫡

[iamprchung]

Fan favorite Morris Fletcher (Micheal McKean) was introduced on November 29, 1998, in the episode of the X-Files titled Dreamland. Dreamland was part of a two episode story arc that saw Fletcher, a Man in Black from Area 51, switching bodies with Special Agent Fox Mulder (David Duchovny). Thanks to Fletcher, Mulder finally got his bedroom cleaned out so he didn't have to sleep on the couch anymore and also purchased a water bed for him. Morris eventually retired from being a Man and Black, his marriage and family (played by Nora Dunn, Tyler Binkley, and Dara Hollingsworth) that was already in turmoil aparrently fell apart, he went freelance, and indirectly caused the folding of the Lone Gunmen paper as well as the deaths of their main editors Melvin Frohike (Tom Braidwood), Richard "Ringo" Langley (Dean Haglund), and John Fitzgerald Beyers (Bruce Harwood). Fletcher would attend their funeral at Arlington National Cemetery along with Special Agents John Doggett (Robert Patrick), Monica Reyes (Annabeth Gish), Dana Scully (Gillian Adderson), Assistant Director Walter Skinner (Mitch Pileggi), Yves Adele Harlow (Zuleikha Robinson), and Jimmy Bond (Stephen Snedden). Fletcher was created by Vince Gilligan, John Shiban, and Frank Spotnitz. He not only was in "Dreamland I & II", but also had a cameo in "Three of a Kind", starred in the series finale of the Lone Gunmen "All About Yves" and the X-Files unofficial Lone Gunmen finale "Jump the Shark". (X-Files mythology, TV Event)

Oh, Morris has made a tactical error. The current x files team does not contain an alien believer

[sallie-nathalies]

The rest of villagers last name. Mostly will be related to their professions. Mr. Qi doesn't have a last name, because he is so mysterious that I can't give them a proper name.

Lewis Alderman it means, member of the governing body of a city. He is the mayor of Pelican Town.

Marnie Calvert Calvert means, the one who takes care of calves. I know she take care of more animals, but I chose calves because it fits into her maternal and sweet personality to take care of small animals.

Jas Cognilio (Italian, it means rabbit) she has no job o profession, but she has a family of ranchers that love and care about her, so for me, the best surname that fix her it's an animal, a small and a cute one. Furthermore, my favorite moment between her and Shane is the Bunny jewel slippers heart event! I love it, because it's not related with the farmer. Shane is becoming a better person by himself and he is doing something nice for another person.

Clint Smith, is not only obvious, it's the most common English last name. I think that it's perfect for a character that has problems being noticed by other, a wallflower that rarely took any action to change his life. Even his father decided for him his career!

Willy Fischer meaning fisherman, I feel bad because it feels uninspiring, but he loves his profession! It's his job, and hobby. He is a simple man!

Linus Woodward meaning guardian of the woods. I always thought that there's something mystical about Linus, and I think that this last name fits with him and his aura.

Sandy Chapman meaning, seller. It's like, obvious, but I like to think that in combination with her name (Sandy sounds close to sand) it gives her a mystical vibe. Something like "seller of the sand".

Gus Brewer meaning ale maker. I thought giving him other surnames related to cooking, but then I remember that many tavern owners used to create beverages. Maybe times has changed and he expanded his business, but I like to think that he is descendant of medieval tavern owners who used to receive foresters from different places.

M. Rasmodius what would that M. stands for? I will say that is Magi that is the name given to Zoroastrian priests.

Marlon Fletcher meaning maker of bows and arrows. He is an adventurous man, and I thought giving him an heroic surname, but I don't like the idea of making someone that special. I want that all surnames are humble she related to professions, to the common people, the ordinary. So instead, I'm gonna make him a descendant of artisans of weaponry!

Gunther Aarni Finnish last name, meaning treasure. He looks for them, I think it's kinda obvious.

Leo Morgan Morgan means coming from the sea. I would like to think that his parents were adventurous people who went to see the world with him. I headcanon that he doesn't remember his last name.

Bubba (Dwarf) Sheer. As I said, I like to relate magical creatures of the valley with Zoroastrian culture. In this case, I look for the word "milk" in Farsi language (modern Zoroastrian people). I discovered that Sheer means both: milk and lion. I think it's cool for a character like him!

Morris Chamberlain (it means steward or servant of a noble household) the only character that doesn't belong to the valley, so I will try to give him a last name related to nobility. Considering that he is a manager under the serve of JojaMart, I think it makes sense.

Summary: An anonymous tip finally brings Mulder and Scully to the mecca of all UFO lore—Area 51. As the agents are accosted by suited personnel from the base, they witness the flight of a mysterious craft. In doing so, the lives of two of the men present are profoundly—and perhaps irrevocably—altered.

(MULDER reaches for a set of keys on the table. MRS. FLETCHER gets them first.) MRS. FLETCHER: I'm taking the minivan. MULDER (as MORRIS): (almost pitiful) Don't I have my own car (CHRIS enters and sits at the table.) MRS. FLETCHER: Chris, did you give your father back his car keys? (Not looking at him, CHRIS holds out a set of keys to MULDER. Just as he is about to take them, she drops them to the ground. He stoops and picks them up.) MULDER (as MORRIS): Okay, well, uh... Everybody have a, uh... a good day at your various, uh... (realizes no one is paying attention) All right. (He turns to leave.) CHRIS: Mom! MRS. FLETCHER: Morris! What about Chris? MULDER (as MORRIS): Chris? CHRIS: You said you'd give me an answer today. MRS. FLETCHER: Her nose. You said you'd give her an answer about her nose. (Family waits in anticipation. This is obviously a very important decision.) MULDER (as MORRIS): Um... I think... (CHRIS gives him a little girl look.) MULDER (as MORRIS): I think she's a little young for plastic surgery don't you think? (CHRIS cries again.) MRS. FLETCHER: Oh, for God's sake, Morris-- a nose ring! She said she wants a nose ring! CHRIS: (to MULDER) I hate you! I wish you were dead. MULDER (as MORRIS): Well, my work here is done. Have a nice day. (He makes it to the front door. MRS. FLETCHER follows him. Fabulous melodramatic music underscores the scene.)
