I wouldn't want it blatantly revealed, but
IMHO, this has been hinted at in eps like "Avatar",
"Terma" and, certainly "Zero Sum" with The Deal
made by Skinner with CSM. For me, Skinner's
unrequited love for Scully would be fun, but I think
the best way for it to occur (like there's any chance
of CC giving us something like THIS!) would be for
Skinner to unwillingly reveal this only to CSM, not
Mulder. (We could debate Mulder deduced as much
from his late-night gun-pointing visit to the AD in
"Zero Sum".) It would give CSM another layer of
control over the AD, finding a very vulnerable weakness
to use against him. And it would give Skinner's character
a little more development, which I would LOVE!
Maybe we'll get something along these lines in REDUX 1&2.

I think that Skinner should call M&S into his office for a meeting tell them to
stay standing, then walk over to them, proclaiming loudly, and with a
wonderfullyAgent Albert Rosenfield (Twin Peaks) expression, "Group hug!"
Now, that's an X-File! Actually, mabe they should have Miguel Ferrer on the
show in a cameo as a special agent. He'd fit right in. LOL. Imagine him in
an argument with CSM.

Guess what I found out last night? Even my mom's a shipper. She's only seen
two whole episodes of the X-files <Demons & One Breath>, and last night when I
was watching Demons near the end she busts out with "I think they're in
love"... I kinda sputtered and said "WHO?", she replys with "That Dr. Scully
girl and that David Duchovny guy" <so she didn't remember his name was Mulder,
big deal>. I thought it was pretty funny, that even my mom who doesn't watch
the show somehow picked up that shipper 'vibe'... laugh...

I don't think he's in love with her, either. Although, you gotta admit - they
are a better match than FM & DS (I'm zipping up my flame-retardant suit as we
speak). They are more alike.
Also, Skinner doesn't strike me as the type to waste time on unrequited love.
More like, "If you don't want me, baby, I know a lot of women who do!".
And if he DID reveal his love for her, if she had any sense, she'd be all over
him like lightning on a metal rod!

I'm sure Skinner thinks that if Scully were only a little taller, she'd

GA is 29, although Scully is supposed to be 33.
Someone said Mitch was around 45...I would have guessed older.
But I have no reason to argue that number...so the X Files age
difference is just 12 or so years.

actually, this conversation is moot. an age gap alone does not make for a
serious barrier to a relationship: what DOES matter is the roles played by the
people involved.
the inference of an age gap is inequality, ie one partner is 'parenting' the
other (though i've ended up doing that with lads who were my age, so...;).
regardless of the actual or fictional age gap between MP/GA or Skinner &
Scully, the simple fact is that he plays a VERY paternal role to both Mulder
and Scully. following a 'tough love' program, he mets out discipline (calling
them into his office for a dressing down whenever they've been naughty), yells
alot ('what exactly did you think you were doing?'), and puts himself on the
line (in a very subtle and unsentimental way) when they've REALLY screwed up.
conclusion: MP is a very attractive man. but unless Scully isn't as strong as
she appears, and has developed a deep-rooted craving for a father figure to
protect her and simutaneously keep her line, a relationship would be out of
the question.

Scully already has a deep-rooted craving for a father figure. The
conversation in the bar in Never Again, for instance. Her relationship
with Jack Willis in Lazarus for another. In Blessing Way, when she
blames herself for Mulder's 'death', she tells her mother "Dad would be
so ashamed of me." I don't think it's weak for her to have this
craving, but it would be for her to give in to it.
We saw Skinner's attraction to Scully most clearly in Tunguska, I
think. I loved his reactions when her resigning from the FBI came up
under questioning from the committee. Which led nicely into the deal
with the devil in MM and Zero Sum, and even Gethsemane for all we know.
Skinner, though, is prevented from doing anything about it by his
position as her superior. He's clearly living alone in that apartment,
but is he divorced or not?
I am sooo looking forward to a Skinner and Scully scene in Redux.

And 15 years is a problem why? Women are more mature so that would put
them at about the same age mentally, right (awaiting flaming men, wait, not
*flaming*men, I mean men flaming me <beg>). I like older men, myself. A
man too much younger would cause sever exhaustion.

Well, you know. All the venom filled posts are one thing, but if someone
is going to flat out lie when they can easily be caught it deserves to be

give anything this person says and speaks to the personal integrity of the

We're talking about Scully here. Don't get them confused. Scully is 33
and Skinner is 45. Are you saying Skinner could have been Scully's a

Let's clarify something here. This is YOUR conclusion.
Did you ever think that Scully is looking for someone with intregrity
and honor. This is something that Skinner possesses. And these aren't
trait that only a father could have.
As far as the title of the thread goes... the pending question.
Skinner repects Scully but he has done something to harm her . His
part in it was unintentional and he is trying to make up it. He
has hurt and he wants to do right by it.
Could Skinner and Scully ever fall in love? Yes. It would make a

i didn't say that they were inherently paternal traits. however, there are
OTHER factors that led to the conclusion i made, which i've touched on below.
yes, i do realise that skinner has *good* qualities. i have no protests about
seeing more of skinner in the show, or of seeing some serious romantic
entanglements for him.

i think that your points about skinner having wronged scully and trying to make
it up to her are valid. however, that explains affection, but does not provide
the basis for a relationship.
the power relationship between scully and skinner is fundamentally unequal. he
is her boss, and until that situation changes, she has to answer to him...not
a great start to a relationship, IMHO. besides, i can't see scully letting
herself get involved in that situation: even if she *was* attracted to
skinner, she would most likely feel that her professionalism would be
compromised by getting involved with him. (and just imagine the gossip in the
staff canteen)
now, if skinner quit the bureau so that he had to start relating to both M&S as
equals rather than errant children, there could be a start to something. but
otherwise (to quote from the standard noromo argument): 'it would just turn
the show into a soap opera'.

I think they should reveal that they already did take a walk on the wild side -
in the past. It would explain some of the "tension".

Tell me, Monica, which episode tells us when Skinner was born? I missed that
one.
It is clear that we cannot peg the character to their RealLife age (See:
GA/Scully).
Therefore, Skinner might be 52, 19 years older than Dana. I know that Mitch
has enough range to play a character 7 years older than himself.

Well I happen to share that opinion. I think the sexual tension between the
two of them is quite palpable. Scully is a very strong person, very
principled, very tied to her duty. That image is mirrored in Skinner. I have
never believed in the "opposites attract" philosophy in relationships. There
are two many obstacles to overcome if you have nothing in common.
And since I am personally a hard core Skinner fan, finding Mulder only
marginally attractive at best, I can think of no better match for Scully than
the divinely beautiful Skinner. And Gillian Anderson herself has been quoted
as saying she wishes there could be a relationship between Skinner and Scully.
The woman knows!!!!!!!

It's the same here m.p. When I mention that some people want Scully and Mulder
to get together they are incredulous. They are more interested in the mytharc
and conspiracy content of the show. Of course they ask me alot of questions
about Skinner (knowing my preference of course) and I have won new converts to
the Skinner faith.

Truthfully I don't either. But if indeed there is a romantic laison on the
show I think that these two are the best matchup. The thought of Skinner with
"Little Miss Beeeeeee Huuzzzbaandryyyyyy" makes me nauseous, and Mulder with
anyone makes me nauseous.
Skinner deserves something good for a change.

I have liked this theory since Monica told me about it some time ago when I had

YES! That would a perfect plot twist because it would piss Mulder off.

Did I miss 3 or 4 episodes or something..:)) in which episode(s) did
Skinner ever suggest anything for Scully except the affection that
comes with working with and respecting a colleague? I intend no
disrepect or offense here, but it seems 5 months of reruns is taking
it's toll.

fair enough...i think what this thread needs to do is make a distinction
between, 'i'd like to do skinner' and 'scully should do skinner'. when 7/8ths
of skinner fans can't see the inherent problems of a young woman (who wants to
be taken seriously) in a male-dominated profession sleeping with her boss,
there's a little toooooo much general squidging going on...
