Scully and Pendrell?
KIMBERLY A PIFER
Okay, there's been some talk of Scully and Pendrell getting together.
Mostly, I've looked at it as a joke, sort of a desperate wish to get
some action for our dear Saint Scully.
But there seems to be a growing level of seriousness to this thread. Why,
even Gizzie has given it her blessing. I'm just not sure I can see this
happening. I know he has a huge crush on her but they just don't seem
compatible. I know, I know, how can you tell at this point. The guy seems
permanently relegated to sporadic guest shots. His entire screen time has
been what, 10 minutes?
With this in mind, I put forth the query to all those Pendrell/
Scully-ites: What exactly is it about a union between these two (or
even a simple date for that matter) that you find appealing?
I assure you, I ask this without any malice. I'm not trying to start a
Pendrell/Scully shipper/anti-shipper flame war. It's just that until I
started seeing these posts on the newsgroup, the thought of them togeth-
er had never even seriously crossed my mind.

Nor my mind !!! In my opinion Pendrell is like a little doggy, wanting
to be hugged. Scully is a much more in control and together kindof person.
Her going out with that Pendrell who's practically drooling every time
he sees her seems so unlikely !!! He's like Frohike, he adores her way
to much for her to consider going out with him.
Just my 2 cents
Corinne.

Maybe they can do it as sort of a role-reversal of "War of the
Coprphages", where Scully gets the romantic interest while leaving Mulder
hanging on the cel phone...and in the end when Pendrell walks off with
another woman, Mulder (having just crawled through a sewer or something
equally smelly) will try to comfort Scully who'll lean in and say "Mulder,
you smell bad"...

Out of character for Pendrell, IMO. He is much too dedicated (like a
puppy dog) to Scully. I think he should eke up the courage and ask
Scully out on a date. Maybe the safe lunch or the non-stress movie or
the non-stress movie with a safe dinner and a stressful drive home.
ANYWAY, she says yes (shock response?), and gets into it when Mulder
responds to it (ie she doesn't have time to go on his wild goose chases
because she has a date...hmmm) in a jelous manner. Or, even worse, not
respond at all. Hmmm.

Hey man! There is nothing wrong with Frohike. He's the true protagonist
of the X-Files. He just has Mulder and Scully do his legwork while he
does the important stuff.

Well, I wasn't originally taken with the Pendrell idea either, but
the more I see him on the show, the more I like it.
I've come around for the following reasons:
1) He doesn't suck out your body fat.
2) He isn't, as far as we know, a gender-switching alien.
3) He's cute in that Doogie-Howser, "does your Mom know you're
out this late", sort of way,
4) He isn't obssesive, compulsive, or neurotic, like *some*
fictional agents I could mention.
5) Because of #4, he's more likely to treat her as she *deserves*
to be treated, maybe pay some attention to her, and not always
whining "Oh, *MY* sister was taken by aliens... *MY* father
was killed by the government, *MY* mother is in a coma...
The government is trying to stop *MY* work... ME.. ME.. ME..." :)
6) He's obviously sweet on her.
7) He's intelligent, and science-oriented... Someone Scully
could have an intelligent conversation with about all those
exciting forensic advancements.
8) The way Scully said "Looks like a job for Agent Pendrell and
the crime-sci lab" (rough quote, Wetwired) was *TOO* cute...
Everytime I think about that, it makes me giggle...
Yeah, she *really* needed to take that TV receptor
to him personally... (too bad Mulder messed up her chance to
go visit Doogie, er Pendrell). Hmm... at that point she didn't
trust Mulder, but was ready to trust Pendrell.. And I was
wondering why Scully was always late to the scene! It's cause
she's off playing "Fun with Microscopes" with Pendrell!
9) Who can resist the guy who studies the implant that was taken
from you neck, and keeps it quiet from the government, media,
etc?
And of course, as the NoRomos would add:
10) Anything to stop those Mulder/Scully rumours! :)
Does anybody else have any Pro- or Anti-Pendrell points?

Okay, here's mine. What is this idea that Pendrell *is* a little doggy?
Okay, so he likes her, but he certainly doesn't go around to her place
after getting drunk! :) :) We've had two (count 'em) incidents which seem
to expose that Pendrell *may* be at all interested in Scully: the one
where he beats himself over the head for the inane comment, and possibly
one where he backs Scully up once she's left the room .. something about
"strange things." But let's look at the overall picture: most of the
time, he's been committed to work and hasn't shown Scully anything more
than professional courtesy. As for the inane comment: well, maybe he
figures here's a chance to get in with one of the best-looking agents in
the Bureau. Maybe he was trying out new lines, I don't know.
I just don't like the assumption that just because Pendrell seems
to work in the lab most of the time that he has no life, no girlfriend,
and an obssessive interest in Scully. Okay, she's pretty, but it's not
like every man she meets falls in love with her (present company and
myself excluded, of course. :) :)) Or indeed that every computer nerd has
no life of their own.
What's my point? Scully and Pendrell? Could happen; and there's nothing to
suggest one way or the other whether Pendrell would say yes or no to such
an arrangement.

BUT THAT'S ENOUGH!!! We're obsessive, remember.
Mulder only wore a Speedo ONCE, and he was "in Camera" for
exactly 3.8 seconds...and we're STILL breathing heavy.

okay, I have to agree with Kim here...I just don't see it..Pendrell is
a kid compared to Scully...she is too mature for him...but at least he
doesnt seem to buy into the Ice Queen image everyone has of her..

Well, he'd make a great emergency stand-by kind of date, like when you
have to go to a wedding, family event, class reunion, office party, etc.,
and need someone safe to take. I cringe at the thought of Mulder at a
family wedding. You never know when he's going to start having visions of
his missing sister, or get paranoid when he thinks he sees a wisp of
cigarette smoke coming from the back of the room. She could take Pendrell
with no problem. He'd behave himself, be a perfect gentleman and really
impress grandma, plus there would be no worries about one of the
bridesmaids coming on to him and him just going along with it.
Pendrell also strikes me as someone who would be good to vent frustrations
to. He'd just listen, nod and say "that's awful" when appropriate. The
next time Mulder ditches her to run off on some wild goose chase, she
needs to go into Pendrell's lab on the pretext of needing some test run.
He'd notice she's upset and ask if she wants to talk about it, then buy
her a cup of coffee and listen to her gripe. In reversed circumstances,
Mulder probably wouldn't even hear her.
So whether or not it becomes romantic, here's my vote for Scully at least
becoming friends with Pendrell.

Hey, Shanna, can we bestow official Stealth Geek Status on
Pendrell? After all, he is a little geeky, but not geeky enough to hang
out with the Lone Gunman guys, like certain other (stealth geeky) agents
we know of... And he realized just how geeky his comment "Keep it up
yourself" was, so he's conscious of his geekiness (poor little Doof. Hey! I
have my official nickname for Pendrell: a combo of Doof and Doogie!
Doofie! <g>... Here Doofie, Doofie... Good agent! Stay, boy, stay..).
On another thread, I think Mulder has been losing his Stealthness
a bit, and going geekier. Hmm, bad choice. A leather jacket does not
preclude geekiness! Quick, we need an emergency shot of him in his
glasses to re-set the balance!

Ok, if Pendrell was a dog, what kind of dog would he be (and would Mulder
get him eaten by some monster)?
I'd give him golden retreiver...he's quiet, inteligent, and usually in a
good mood, dependable, and has a nice golden mane. He's also good at
fetching stuff (for Dana) and has that googlely look in his eyes whenever
she walk into the room (although he doesn't stick out his tongue and pant).

I think he has hidden depths. Maybe he's had a crush on her for awhile,
and gets a little self consious when he's around her now. If he went on
a couple of dates with her he would be fine. Actually he's more than
just fine! Maybe he would bring her around and back out of her shell.
Or at least get a smile from her. I hope it happens.

Self-cconscious geekniess is next to self-loathing geekiness, which
leads to stealthy geekiness. Is Pendrell the next sex-god of the
X-FIles???

Well said. I have been trying to put my finger on "what's wrong with DD"
(and therefor DD-as-Muder) for several months now and that's it! DD is
trying to become an anti-geek. His choice in suits and his painful
attampts at cool, hip, sardonic humour indicate a geek in crisis, a geek
who can't believe that after all the fame, money, and sexual celebrity
he is still a geek.

Yes, that self-consciousness means he is attaining a degree of
stealthiness. Thus, it is written by the Goddess herself that Pendrell is
now an Official Stealth Geek, and subject to all the rights and
priviledges thereof, etc., etc.

I'll definitely vote for that. I love the glasses shots! 8-)
And he is losing his geeky adorability by becoming yet another action hero
in black leather. But I'm not so sure it's all Mulder's fault. I suspect
we're seeing a bit of DD creep in there, and DD's stealth geek status has
been revoked (even if he does have the best birthday there is). He's
working too hard to try to be cool and avoid the brainy label. Until we
notice a change of direction, he's on probation, and therefore, Mulder
with him.

Pendrell has a crush on Scully..i think that is hysterical..actually for a
really funny episode he should ask her out and Mulder would be standing in the
doorway and they wouldn't know and Scully not wanting to hurt pendrell says she

hen Mulder teases her about it the rest of the show...of course that wouldn't
