Please continue to give me disagreements; but also:

@figureofdismay,

#scully was also wrong in a lot of s6 imo but yeah that's not a very popular opinion#she does a lot of game playing with mulder over diana while refusing to communicate her actual feelings and needs#and blaming him for not somehow intuiting the real things she was stewing away on#plust the LGM thing#plus they had her come down hard on her denials re: their work and what they experienced before the board#which. she's hedged more in the past when they'd seen less i still don't think that was great writing#but then also blamed mulder for not rejecting diana's help after diana also threw him under the bus with the board#from mulder's point of view (instead of the audience's with greater context) those actions read and feel the same#and he's like well that wasn't great but i'm prioritizing these relationships over being angry about it#which. not great. whatever he has no self preservation instinct we know that#there was some hypocrisy involve all around is what i'm saying (including in some of the side-taking in the fandom)#also agree that mulder was the one who was closed off and angry in Arcadia...#i feel like maybe can't as easily identify when hurt and frustration come out as a facade of kind of manic levity#it's a distancing tactic#it's something Mulder does a lot but I also see it missed/missinterpreted a lot#.......maybe everyone needs to go watch MASH (1972-1983) idk#i also kinda like bill. as a character. i think he treated dana pretty badly but he's not a bad guy...#i have this whole headcanon about him and melissa being toxic codepedency bffs growing up on the road and parentified#and then they grew up and individuated and ended up with wildly different values#and couldn't manage to be each other's number one ally and enemy and cohort anymore which skewed the family dynamics#and not being able to reconnect with meliss came out partly as micromanaging dana even harder#(because from their perspective she's been acting erratically since med school)#and when Melissa dies in Dana's apartment Bill channels the measure of subconscious anger he feels at dana towards mulder instead#(if it's all mulder's fault then dana can't have contributed to the situation that led to disasters)#but i also think he just doesn't have the context#the danger isn't something dana or mulder created for themselves it happened to them#but bill's just reacting to what he's heard. which can't have been very coherent or complete#bc M & S don't tell people things ever lol#re: CSM being mulder's biodad idk#i go back and forth

You articulated every. single. point. I thought so much better than I ever could, wow.

Also: Scully's used TLG as triangulation before-- The End-- and does it again, in Three Words:

Instead of pulling him aside and laying out her grievances, doubts, and fears-- and facing his rejection-- Scully recruits others to add their support to her point. But that's never worked with Mulder... and it doesn't work, predictably, in each scenario. She needed to trust their partnership more and leverage less. But is she wrong for making a human decision in a moment of crisis? Probably not; and definitely not as much as Mulder.

I will say: in both One Son and Three Words, Scully was right both times. So, does that completely negate each blunder?

Further, excellent point: in The Beginning, Mulder feels that Diana and Scully have let him down-- and Scully does, denying reality she's not ready to face (one she doesn't have to face again until Biogenesis and The Sixth Extinction, and one she doesn't truly accept until all things.) By the end of the episode, both Mulder and Scully have made poor choices, are both aware of it, and move wordlessly on from them. That's why they effortlessly sync back up in Drive; and so again rather fluidly in Agua Mala.

Philes, let's have some fun:

All opinions welcome-- I wanna read 'em and see where the fandom's at. Gimme rants, gimme unhinged jaws. Give me moderate takes, whatever you've got! My feelings won't get hurt~.

I know it’s already been said but it’s still so insane to me that Eddie realized that he was never alone in this while Buck realized that eventually it always ends up with him alone, both simultaneously. That’s poetic cinema!!!

obsessed with s8 sam saying “a motel is not actually part of the town it’s in. it’s not part of… anywhere”. you know. sam who’s spent his whole life on the road staying in motels. sam who’s always felt like the odd one out. sam who’s never felt like he fit in anywhere. belonged anywhere. anyways
