I just watched "One Breath" off of satellite, with a bunch of guys from
work, and all of us agreed that we couldn't take our eyes of her chest! I
actually said that out loud, "wow, that's not a flattering angle, all you
look at is her chest" and one of the guys said "now you know why guys
stare". I know that sounds rude but you'll see what I mean. Pregnacy does
that to you, I guess. (Sorry for this comment, but I think it's true - I
also loved the episode for the first three quarters, then they seemed to
run out of time and hurriedly wrapped up the show)

When a woman gets pregnant, (and, subsequently, has a child) she
lactates. That is, she produces milk for her child. This function also
has the side effect of enlarging the breasts.

For God's sakes why in the world is one of the dominant topics in here
a debate on Gillian Andersons breast size??? I am sure that Mrs.
Anderson would rather us as fans to talk about how good a job she does
or what we like about her character or don't like in some kind of
intelligent manner. I also feel that its pretty much safe to assume
that any guy here does feel she is an attractive woman. As any female
writer feels that Mr. Duchovny is an attractive guy. But I do not
watch the show to get somekind of jolly waiting for a great boob shot.
One writer put it rather nicely already to another use...pay the $11 a
month a get the Playboy channel for chrissakes...
I have an idea Mr. Carter. Maybe you could sneak in another comment
about running debates about breast size on the internet in some
unrelated section.
I hope that Mrs. Anderson has been spared the....distasteful feeling
(is the only way I can put it) that a major topic, in a world wide
mailing network, is her chest.

As one who has been there (lactation-land, I mean), a sturdy bra is necessary
after giving birth. Those things get heavy, and *sore* with no support. Thus,
the "Madonna look" I assume. The woman just had a c-section, how much pain
should we ask her to go through?

When the one hospital scene came on my brother, who is normally a very
quiet person, said, quite simply, "Holy shit...".
That just about summed it up for me too. The magic of WonderBra.

I think you have something there. After all, Dwayne Barry
did say that the aliens, government, and a corporation were all
in cahoots. The way I see it is that the aliens contacted the
U.S. government and gives the Wonderbra design to them in order
for the right to mutilate our cattle and kidnap unwary citizens
and perform experiments on them. The government in turn
licenses the design to a corporation in return for huge tax
concessions. Sorry, Mr. Carter, but you will have to think
another 3-4 steps ahead to outwit us wily X-Files fans.

The women I was watching X-files last night with made a bigger deal out
of it than I did. I noticed but didn't say anything. They kept saying
that she must be wearing a bra under the gown. Maybe, maybe not.
It's amazing what pregnancy does to a woman. It's not

Well, if we go on the theory that the larger a woman's breasts are, the
stupider _men_ get, (a theory with plenty of support I'll admit) then
perhaps spreading the WB through the world is a way to soften up half the
world population before takeover attemps begin....

I was thinking it still looked too "wonderbra-esque" since she was laying
on her back (I have been the lactation-land route myself), and, esp. in
the scene where she is dressed in white with her father, not very
smooth.
Perhaps they padded her up a bit more to help keep the gown from clinging
to the probably-not-so-flat-YET tummy we all no exists after one has
a child, esp a c/sec!

I agree with you. I read your original post and didn't find your

*what* the object is. I would've felt the same way had one of her feet

On the point of "lactating breasts," I don't necessarily see any
difference in discussion of that than the ongoing discussions
concerning Scully's pregnancy. Comments such as "boob jobs" put this
discussion exactly where the reade seems to object to--in a sexual
context. I didn't see Scully's breasts in that way, nor did I read
Carter's comments in that way. This is simply about observing real
conditions and how those conditions play out on film--from the
points-of-view of the camera and the viewer.

I'm sure someone else has already pointed this out, but....
A woman who has recently given birth will have breasts that seem to defy
gravity, they are not longer soft and plyable...but full of milk and rock
hard. This effect goes away after a while, either throught a routine of
breast feeding or if the mother bottle feeds rather than nurses the baby.
Taking into account the recent birth of the child, the er, prominence of
her breasts is believable...however, it *does* seem kind of unusual for
the poor character of Scully, unless she had that split DNA stuff in her
system from "carrying"an alien baby for all of a couple weeks (or however
long she turned out to be gone)... In which case, *she* should be the
first to notice when she wakes up better endowed than when she was
abducted...

The woman was PREGNANT!! When you are pregnant your breasts get bigger.
Needless to say they feel sore without any support so she probably wore a
bra under the hospital gown. The poor woman only missed filming ONE
episode of the show so she is more than likely not back into pre-pregnancy
shape! It takes most women almost a YEAR before their bodies are back to
the way they were before the baby! Not to mention she had a C-section!
And if she is breast-feeding her baby, her breast are going to be larger
than her normal size for a couple of months.
Does this clarify ANYTHING for those of you who came up with the brilliant
Wonderbra, boob-job, etc. ideas!?!?!?!?!?!?

Anne Marie Jessop
: Stuff deleted..
Yes? And your point is...?
Listen, darlin', I've been there, done that as far as lactation and sore,
engorged breasts go. Most people posting on this group know that GA had a
baby; most people with the possible exception of Walter Yen respect her and
appreciate her talent without considering her breast size. IT WAS A
JOKE!! As far as I'm concerned, a good natured one as well. I mean,
holy shit, consider the amount of drooling over DD's speedo a few
weeks ago. Did anyone get outraged over that? As far as I'm concerned,
your complaint is actually, insidiously more sexist than the jokes
themselves, because it implies that we should somehow not notice that GA's
body has naturally changed due to her pregnancy and C-section; it
implies that pregnancy is an unmentionable, sanctified condition, and
that, again, considering the amount of noise about the speedo, GA's
pregnancy places her in a special, unassailable (at least, un-jokeable)
position because SHE IS A MOTHER NOW. I dislike the gender-essentializing
implications of that quite a bit...

It's very common for engorgement to occur in a woman's breasts during the
month or so following birth, a condition where too much milk gets
produced. The results are breasts that get very large, stiff, and sore,
and are fully capable of standing up even when you're flat on your back.
Any woman who has been through that can tell you that there's nothing sexy
about it; it's mostly painful and awkward. ..bruce..

I really don't think Mulder would notice the difference, anyway. Sculley
would probably have to point it out to him. Perhaps the government aliens
fed her well during her abduction time....(I KNOW SHE WAS PREGNANT - JUST

My wife noticed the size of Scully's breasts before I did. She remarked
that she must be breast feeding. Upon closer examination, I did notice
the flat aspects of her pecs... the unmistakable outline of "nursing pads"
Great show
