I'm thinking a female version of Schwartzenalien. Maybe she could be
really beautiful and then change into The Incredible Hulk-ess when she
gets angry. At least Scully will get a good laugh out of it. ;-D

Well, he doesn't really have a "romantic" relationship with Scully, BUT, the
point is taken. If CC decides to give Fox a romantic companion, I think the
actress would have to be a beautiful up-and-coming actress who would only be
there for one episode, because Scully would undoubtedly kill her. :-)

Seriously, though, I think, at this point, it would not be a good idea. Too
many fans want Scully and Mulder to have an even closer relationship than they
do, and what with Mulder crying at her bedside when he thought she was gone,
the terrific hugs they have given each other in times of ultimate stress, and
so forth, I, for one, don't want the introduction of any love interest on
either side.

Let's face it, the "Scully Alter Ego Brigade", would have a
conniption. Look how they constantly diss Marita, without really knowing
any thing about her. Then there's the bitchy comments about T.L.
who isn't even in the show. Of course they could bring in say, Rhea
Perlman, maybe the S.A.E.B. might not feel threatened by her. At least
we'd get a few laughs.

Actually, I think he's got an intensely romantic relationship with Scully.
It's a sexual relationship that he doesn't have.

just rewatched "Austin Powers" and I can see Elizabeth Hurley playing Mulder's
girl. Of course I wouldn't want to see Mulder *or* Scully getting involved in a
relationship; that just wouldn't work for me.

I'm going to mention this because I can't believe no one else has. What
about Gillian Anderson in a wig? Yeah, I know the whole identical
strangers/dual role thing is majorly lame. (Though clones perhaps... nah
still pretty lame.) However, introducing a new character as a romantic

I agree that Scully could be angry, but her anger wouldn't reach
homicidal levels.

Not being beautiful isn't safe. GA wasn't considered "beautiful" by
general standards, at least not until the series got cult status among
general population and influenced their esthetic standards.

Actually, rumor or not rumor, that wasn't the first time somebody
mentioned the possibility of Mulder having romantic relationship with
someone other than Scully. In 1994, during the shooting of "One Breath",
Melinda McGraw, the actress who plays Melissa, expressed the idea of her
character starting the relationship with Mulder. Morgan and Wong
initially backed the idea, but CC was against it. His rationale was in
Mulder "filling quota" by sleeping with Kristin Kilar in "3". The
related article can be found, IIRC, on the website called "Morgan and
Wong Worship Ground".

Well, given Mulder's penchant for pornography and his fascination with the
paranormal, I can see one of four possibilities:

1) The "Synthetic Cherry 2000 w/Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator
Attitude Adjuster" Porn Bimbo, charmingly portrayed by Pamela Anderson Lee.
2) The "There's Only Room For One Immature Person In A Relationship, And
That's Mulder" Mother Figure, as played by Lauren Bacall. Heh-heh, how
about a Bacall / Ma Mulder cat-fight?
3) The "FOX Only Gave Us $1,500 To Spend" Washed Up Blonde, competently
acted by Jennilee Harrison.
4) The "If Chris Carter Wants A Wookie, He Gets A Wookie" Jersey Devil
Fetish, comicly done by Rosie O'Donnell

I don't think a girlfriend for Mulder would be a good idea. I can't
imagine any way of bringing in such a character without the role
either being a throwaway, or turning the show into a soap opera. Just
too contrived....

I understand that he's had some problems with his belief in the existence of
extraterrestials, but I still think that his desire to find out the truth and
about Samantha keep him too preoccupied for a romance that would last more than

Does DD want Mulder & Scully to get together? I have heard/seen/read several
different things about this. I saw an interview with DD after the 1st season
where he said that if Mulder & Scully got together, it would detract from the
focus of the show as it would then be about the relationship. Well, if Mulder
gets a girlfriend, wouldn't that detract from the show too? Then I heard
something about DD wanting Mulder & Scully to get together and heard another
rumor which said that DD wanted Mulder & Scully to get hot & heavy in the movie
(of course DD could have just been joking). So, what's DD's take on this?

According to the "Official Guide To the X-Files," Scully was supposed
to come with a boyfriend pre-attached - during the last scene, where
Mulder calls Scully late at night, there is a boyfriend named "Ethan
Minette" in bed with her. But Ethan got cut early on.

Anyway, wouldn't a love life for either one just distract from the
main focus of the show? And would either one have *time* for it?
(Hell, I'm having enough trouble figuring out whether I'd have time
for a relationship *myself*, and I'm just doing freelance writing, let
alone chasing paranormal events for the FBI.)

With TFWID, Never Again, and One Breath (before they made the

My guess is that DD wants more *drama* on the show. Episodes in which he
is credited as story writer usually had a lot to do with his family, or
him being situations that require outbursts of emotions. The girlfriend
situation would cause a lot more drama than the show currently has. For
example:

Scully - torn between jealousy and drive to remain friends with Mulder;
Mulder - torn between his lust towards GF and his love for Scully;
girlfriend - torn between her love for Mulder and a) fear for her life
(or the life of her child from previous relationship/marriage); b) her
own career; c) her own belief of relationship being doomed from the
start; d) loyalty to Consortium etc.

The possiblities are countless. In the long run, girlfriend situation
could even be extremely efficient compromise between NoRomos and
shippers. NoRomos would naturally be happy for not watching MSR
Gottamnederung, but Shippers would be ecstatic in watching Scully mad
from jealousy, and Mulder feeling like traitor.

My vote's for Pamela Lee. You know that Mulder can't handle a woman with a
brain. (Wait . . . I take that back, I don't know Pamela personally, so I
refuse to join the masses who assume/accept her ignorance. For all we
know, she could be a genius who was never given the right opportunity.)
Therefore, I vote for Pamela's life-saving C.J. Parker character for the
role of Mulder's girlfriend. If that's allowed.

But that was a long time ago - summer of '94 or thereabouts? At that
time it was clear that the relationship with the lunch-date on the
answering machine wasn't terribly important to Mulder. And since then -
there's more than Samantha and extraterrestrials - there's the
government conspiracy, the Mulder-parents involvement, CSM, and of
course Scully. I just don't see how any liaison between Mulder and
another woman could be sustained - at any more than a dalliance level
(and hence low-drama-level) - when he's got many other priorities and
such an important connection with Scully that would take precedence.
After Redux II, I can't see another woman taking *any* importance in
Mulder's life. OK, maybe there would be drama (as you say in another
post) if a Mulder-sexual encounter "came between" FM and DS. The liaison
would probably end quickly and lead to a lot of upheaval in the
Mulder-Scully dynamic - and I don't think it would add to the overall
arc. Just add a melodramatic element - more Melrose place than XF.

At this point, I still feel it is incredibly important to Mulder to be
"there" for Scully. And Scully has to come to grips with her priorities.
I certainly would think less of Mulder if he went off with someone else
- while "waiting" for Scully - at least to figure out what she wants, if
not to "come to him". This is in addition to the whole "trust" thing.
How could he relate on a serious level to another woman, even another
person? And as to a sexual/comfort/release kind of thing - if he's been
content (!) with videos and sublimation this long - why should he decide
that "now" is the time? Of course, I'm looking through
shipper-of-necessity-glasses - so it's hard for me to seriously
entertain this possibility.

Yeah, he did. Remember when Scully was in his apartment looking for clues?
There was a woman on his answering machine yelling at him and calling him a
pig for standing her up for lunch.......that definitely qualifies as trying to
date.

You make one helluvan insightful point, Carrie. The astonishing power of
sexual tension can only be guised in the form of romanticism for just so long.
At some point or other, one of them HAS to get off the mark. Both Scully and
Mulder have shown definite signs of possessiveness on the part of the other,
but that, so far, can be chalked up to law-enforcement-partner loyalty and
concern.

They (the writers) are, indeed, reaching a point where the fans need to see
something in the way of emotional direction. Else, this series will go the way
of Beauty & the Beast, where the writers couldn't deal with the issue, either.

I consider myself a NoRomo... I mean, a *NO*Romo, not a bit of romance in
any character. (Well, Skinner-Cancer Man would be okay.) I don't watch
the X-Files to see kissy face and schmoopy eyes. I want aliens! Give me
gore! I want action and adventure and Scully with her gun drawn!

NORomo! NORomo! NORomo!

Hmmm...what changes to "One Breath" are you refering to? Was there
originally major UST between Melissa Scully and Mulder? I've heard
something to the effect that the option of a Mulder/Melissa relationship was
discussed and eventually nixed; but I had no idea scenes were already
written into "one Breath." Antagonism=UST would have been sooo cliched.
As far as M&W not being shippers, well, on one hand some of the shippiest<G>
moments happen in their episodes. On the other hand, that could be from
the direction and acting rather than the script. (i.e The *way* something
is said, gestures, and looks.) On yet another hand, in a recent interview
one of them said Melissa Riddell being Mulder's soul mate does not mean
Scully can't also be a soul mate. On a fourth hand <G>, in the very same
interview one of them (I really can't recall who said what. I guess I just
see them as Siamese twins of different mothers.<G>) stated, "I hate the idea
that they're in love." ...What I found really interesting about *that*
statement was it was said after they left the staff for the second
(seemingly final) time ... as if they were rebelling against some authority.

Not exactly.

When Scully goes to Mulder's apartment in 'Little Green Men', she listens
to the messages on his answering machine. A woman's voice complains that
Mulder hounded her to have lunch with him, and then didn't show and calls
him a name ( I don't remember what she called him.) That implies that the
date was planned, even if he stood her up. Then there's the handwriting
analyst in 'Young at heart', who is at least interested in him, though he
doesn't pursue it.

I guess that same argument against non-MSR can be used against
MSR too.

Probably not. But the 'shippers have one great advantage over
NoRomos. If the Mulder and Scully end together, that would be
the Apocalypse. 'Shippers, on the other hand, have an entire
eternity to wait and hope. :-)

Unfortunately, melodramatic or, to be more precise, Melrose Place
elements had already started to invade XF plotline since Season 2.
Mulder's family, CSM/Father thing, hunks in the form of Krycek and
Skinner (Blevins was more convincing as Mulder's boss) etc.

Well, during the XF timeline, there *were* times when he actually fell
for another woman.

All right... See, I missed the first two seasons (but I've seen the
mythology episodes (and enough others), enough to get the whole grasp of
the show). I thought the conversation was swinging more in a "see Mulder in
a dating situation" kind of direction, but I see that it was more of a "yes
the man _does_ have a social life" (then again, that _was_ three seasons
ago <g>) way. Okay.

Big difference between "falling" for someone and just entertaining lustful
thoughts. When has he fallen? Never. When has he had lustful thoughts?
Bambi, Det. White (maybe), Kristen Kilar and possible various unseen women who

Don't get me wrong, I think M&W had done wonderful job with furthering
M&S characters early on . I wouldn't mind seeing a script form them
for season five. I was only commenting on the earlier post. Thank-you
Teddi for the info though, I find that very interesting.

If we should stick to Baywatch as a source, I would prefere Yasmine
Bleeth. After all, the actress herself, AFAIK, expressed interest in
more challenging or "intellectual" roles. :-)

In the current issue of TV Guide (Yasmine Bleeth cover), Caroline Rhea (from
Sabrina, the Teenage Witch) volunteers for the job.

"I think I am destined to play Jimmy Smits's love interest on NYPD Blue," she
jokes. "And another show I need to be on is The X Files; I need to be
Mulder's love interest. Hey, a witch is like an alien. THAT would work."

Well, in case of Kristen Kilar it didn't end on lustful thoughts. :-)

but if we have all read our fan fic lol we know that during his "time" w/
Kristen he was only thinking of his Scully.

The only girl to my knowledge he has fallen for is of course scully and he
seems to have fallen for her in a big way this year. Thank god finally!!!

Just my shippy two cents, but I'll cry if Mulder ends up with anyone
besides the goddess that is Scully. :)

My vote is for Mulder discovering a Scully clone working at a strip
club that he frequents. The new ' erotic Scully ' would add some
spice to the show, make the shippers happy and sparks would no doubt
fly when ' serious Scully ' met her. Hey , it could happen!

Yup! Agent Henderson. I *liked* her. She reminded me of all those
intelligent, professional women who would make shameless passes at Det.
Mike Logan on LAW & ORDER. Who could blame them? 8-) While I couldn't
see Mulder taking her up on the offer nowadays (4 years later), I wouldn't
have minded seeing her recur once in a while, like Holly or Pendrell
(who is NOT dead. We NEVER saw the body! Scully didn't SEE him die!)
Too bad they killed off Reggie Purdue -- he would have made a cool
recurring character too, as one of Mulder's sole *friends*
(at the Bureau or otherwise).
IMHO, anyone who says that people like me only dislike Marita
because the writers and/or the actress haven't been given enough
opportunities to establish her character should keep in mind that Laurie
Holden, Frank Spotnitz, and Howard Gordon had *five* episodes to work
with on her behalf -- yet STILL couldn't manage to make her as memorable,
intriguing, and deserving of return appearances as characters like Purdue
(who appeared in only ONE episode) or like Henderson, Pendrell, and Holly,
who had only *two scenes* each in which to instantly capture our interest
and (with the latter two) even inspire a popular demand for their returns
(which were *unplanned* at the time they first appeared -- unlike Marita,
whose Importance To The Big Plan was telegraphed from the start.)
