April 22- Unrequited Mulder and Scully-AGGGHHH!
Andrea Miralia
I figured out something: They remind me of me and my ex.
"If there's an ice tea in that bag, this could be love."
"It must be fate, Mulder... It's Root beer."
AGGGGHHH.. I don't care what anyone says, I guess I'm a sap... I want
them to get together!

I'd be nice to see them together. But this is one of those shows where
it's best to have them concentrate on the cases every week and not
the everyday lives of them dating. Relationships....that's an X-file in
it self.
Maybe they should have an episode where they get them toghter and then
leave that aspect of there relationship in the background for the most
part. I don't want a Maddie and Joel thing....
I wonder if that comment about the ice-tea was a throw away line or
whether the show's producers are planning something.

I'm thinking along similar lines as some people... I wouldn't be surprised
if Mulder and Cully get together due to some unexplainable outside force
that makes them temporarily out of control or something... though
the way I just worded it sounds awfully silly.
I don't think anyone wants the show to shift focus on to the relationship
between the two agents, any more so than it already is.
It's just nice to see them acting human... It IS Spring after all... :)

In other words, after the show goes off the air.

Slowly, if it weren't concentrated on too much, it might just work.
It'd be dangerous -- could send the show down the tubes real fast.
But, yeah, I agree, I want to see them together. (It's tough being
half cynical, half romantic :-) )

Personally, I think someone's feeding The Powers That Be at least
the highlights of this newsgroup. They're touching on things that
were the subject of pretty major discussion here about two months
ago.

Well, if that's the case, could the powers ththat be tell Mr. Duchovny
that if he's ever in Chapel Hill (where I live now) or in Princeton (where my
boyfriend is) we'd love to take him out for coffee/tea/cappucino?

OK, it was either that line or "Come on, Allan, how do you really feel?"

I vote not to get Scully and Mulder together (at least not any more
than they are now). Their teamwork relies on the interplay of her
specticism, his belief and the mutual respect for each point of
view. I think romance could throw this
delicate balance off kilter. I like to think of our heroes as "The
Avengers" with an edge. Like Steed and Emma, there's a genuine
affection beneath the surface, but it springs from a mutual respect
that has little to do with sexual attraction. It's only natural
that a sense of camraderie would evolve between Scully and Mulder
considering the experiences they share (and which separate them more
and more from potential partners in the "normal" world), but letting
this become a physical affair would be an uncharacteristic and
ultimately destructive error for two otherwise professional agents.

Kevin Roberson
Personally, I thought that the entire episode did a lot to cement
the producer's wish to keep away from any real resolution of the
sexual tension. Take the following points into consideration:
1 - For the first time, Scully was called upon to defend Mulder's
defiance of procedure. In response, she lied for him. This
could easily be misconstrued as an act of love. However,
the history they share seems to me to indicate it is more an
act of loyalty: she really believes in him, not the x-files,
but him.
2 - The dialog in the car while FM was on surveillance was playful
banter between two people who have grown to respect each other
tremendously, have unresolved feelings for each other, but
have a level of professionalism that precludes anything more.
Also, bear in mind that the line from FM about an iced tea
in the bag being an indication of true love came from a very
very tired man (three days without sleep).
3 - The reference to a "change for us" by FM in the closing scene
leads me to believe that FM expects the x-files to be taken
a bit more seriously by his superiors. One could also
interpret this as a change in the relationship between DS and FM.
I just don't think so.

means the X-Files will be taken more seriously by the brass, do you
mean that in a positive or negative sense? Positive: they will
give more support to Mulder; or b) they will try even harder to
shut him down. Personally, I feel Mulder sees dark times ahead,
with a much greater opposition to his work, possibly even life-
threatening opposition. The little scenario in my head has some
very serious political battles waging in the secret group that I
suspect both Mr. Chainsmoker and Deep Throat work for -- in other
words, at much higher (and secret) levels than the FBI. Mulder and
Scully and the FBI brass are pawns in some hidden game.
Maybe I've read too much John LeCarre -- but the LeCarre-esque
aspect of X-Files has always been one of its most appealing aspects
for me. (Of course, that was the aspect almost completely ignored
in James Wolcott's article in the New Yorker. He showed up on
Compuserve by the way, and I asked him about that. He said he
thought government conspiracy/paranoia plots were old hat and
uninteresting, since anybody who works for the federal government
knows how easily secrets can slip out. I worked for the federal
government and on one hand, that's true. On the other hand, they've
covered up deep, dark stuff that would completely outrage us if we
knew about it.)
-- Paula
P.S. I thought the car scene sheer perfection -- one that will go
down in X-Files annals. My vote is for no romance at all, but I
think there is a huge amount of attraction between Scully and
Mulder that they will never act on, for about ten million reasons.
One of which is it will ruin the show.

Noooo! I think this bit was put in there because Carter wants very
specifically to let us know this is _not_ going to happen, and it shouldn't.
Once, just _once_, can we _please_ have a TV show with a man and woman
who are partners but not love interests? Please? It's so boring to see
that kind of thing toime and time again. Let them just be partners and
friends.

I agree! Mulder and Scully should not get together. It would ruin the
mood of the show. "X-Files" would turn into "Moonlighting in the Twilight
Zone." Yuck. However, I must admit, I am just loving the teasing this
sexual tension is giving me. As a member of the GA-testosterone brigade,
I think I'm tickled by the idea of vicariously living a Mulder and Scully
get-together. The tension rocks. Just so long as they don't over-do it.

Kevin, when you say that you think the "a change is coming" line
means the X-Files will be taken more seriously by the brass, do you
mean that in a positive or negative sense? Positive: they will
give more support to Mulder; or b) they will try even harder to
shut him down. Personally, I feel Mulder sees dark times ahead,
with a much greater opposition to his work, possibly even life-
threatening opposition. The little scenario in my head has some

Interesting question, Paula. I hadn't thought it out that far.
I have yet to see the pilot (being a latecomer to X-philedom),
so this was my first encounter with "the smoker". I had a gut
reaction to the departmental meetings that left me feeling as
though our heros were for the first time getting really close
to something, and they were being "guided" indirectly to make
sure that the outcome would satisfy some grand scheme. Perhaps,
Tooms represented an experiment gone awry. Or, perhaps, his
origin and purpose are known by some government agency that has
chosen to take a "hands-off" stance. DS and FM are, afterall,
nothing more than pawns who have been designated to X-files
related cases. If only they are involved in developing
evidence around unexplainable phenomena, the level of control
and isolation is very high.
However, the growth of both characters is for me the true
strength of the show. The newfound scrutiny of Mulder, and the
emerging open-mindedness of Scully.

I think getting them together would ruin the show. MAYBE in the final
episode of the series, but not before. Too many are the shows that have
been ruined by that kind of tinkering with the relationship of the main
characters.
Besides, I'm having too much fun being teased with the Unresulved Sexual
Tension. That scene in the car in "Tooms" was Queen Mother of all teases!
YEAH!!!

HI Debbie,
If this were my show, I'd wouldn't get them together either.
I'd have them find that they do have an intersting chemistry as with that
episode but no sex. And here's why: SCULLY IS HIS MISSING SISTER!!!!!!!!!
That would explain her almost pathological dislike of all things that
can't be explained by conventional means. She would have a memory block and
deep psychological scars that would preclude her from accepting anything
fantastic. I think we'll find she was adopted at late age. If that happens,
don't surprised if other things about her childhood start to come to light.
Well, that's my idea. What does everyone else think??? Write me privately
at Delphi as WIL...@delphi.com or in this forum. See YA....out there!!!!!

Erm, probably not a good example. Brian Clemens, one of the head honchos behind
The Avengers said that he'd always considered that Steed and Emma had had a
passionate affair which was over by the time they appear together in the series
together.

THEY LEAVE US WONDERING. :-)
God love them for not answering all our questions - what would we have
to talk about?
A show that leaves me wondering will hold my attention longer than one that
spells everything out for me. It's always been that way, thank goodness I've
found one that leaves me guessing.
