Russian men regular great friends with kisses on the cheek. In fact you see
that a lot in many European countries. I think it was just an acknowledgement
by Krychek that Mulder was a friend as he called him in Russian as he left....
and it's also the reason for turning over the gun.... sort of a piece offering.
Mulder really wasn't "smiling happily afterwards" as you put it.... it was
more of a stunned expression or even a disbelieving expression.... sort of like
"yeah.... why should I believe a word you say". I think in the end he was just
trying to process all of what Krychek was trying to tell him. I think that
after spending a little time thinking about it all.... he decided to "believe"
again by the time that Scully arrived and ironically annouced she wasn't sure
she believed anymore.

Mulder's astonished; Krycek's infinitely adaptable. We've known it all
along.

What the heck was that one scene all about? Why did Krycek give Mulder the
tongue? And why did Mulder smile so happily afterwards?

Just as Krycek is leaning in for the kiss, Mulder puckers up and places a kiss against the side of Krycek's mouth, then turns his head away.
Also, although it is true that Russian men kiss friends on the cheek, they are usually quick little 'pecks' on both cheeks, not a long one with a very audible *smack* at the end.
The discussion of this scene just amazes me. After 'Secrets of the X-Files' aired, there were a plethora of posts about "They *do* love each other"; and every time Mulder and Scully hold hands, hug, or show *any* sign of affection toward one another, the shippers have a field day. But let it be suggested that Mulder might have some feeling for Krycek... I keep expecting lightning bolts to come shooting out of my monitor.
The best explanation of the Mulder/Krycek dynamic I've ever seen was in the following two posts (reposted without permission) after the airing of Tunguska:

I'm convinced. I was enjoying all the jokes before the episode about the Mulder/Krycek UST, but then I saw the ep, and in all seriousness, the UST WAS THERE. (This is my professional opinion :) ). Of course, one factor that heightened the perception of tension is that the entire episode was one big S & M fantasy (whips, horses, guns, fetish-y combat gear, bondage, bondage, bondage, half-naked men by the bucketload...my particular favorite would be bare-chested Skinner manhandling Krycek -- while Mulder watches -- and then chaining him up) but this UST is firmly rooted in M & K's actual interaction.
Think about it: if Mulder had Cancerman totally at his mercy, would he have acted the same way toward him? I think not. Maybe he would rough him up a little in the first flush of anger, but I definitely picture Mulder being disgusted at the thought of coming in physical contact with Cancerman. He hates him just as much as he hates Krycek (maybe more), but I don't think he'd be constantly searching for excuses to strike him or slam him up against walls (bodies pressed close together) and get in his face. M & K were completely physically aware of each other in every scene they were in together (in comparison, M & S might as well not even have bodies for all the physical tension _they've_ been generated together lately -- AND DON'T GET ME STARTED ON M'S LATEST INTER-CONTINENTAL DITCHING OF S). The eye contact between M & K was sizzling. Sure, sure, you can try to explain it away as anger, but that's not the whole story (and I've got a couple of different theories to explain the dynamics in detail if anyone wants to hear more).

Subject: Re: Breathe, gizzie
Date: 26 Nov 1996 12:38:35 -0500
Theory 1: Psychodynamics Strikes Again. This will come as no surprise to many of you -- Mulder was uncharacteristically violent with defenseless Krycek because HE LUSTS AFTER HIM. This attraction is totally unpalatable to his superego -- it must be repressed. Violence represses awareness of the desire in two different ways: (1) sublimation (unwanted feelings are repressed by being channeled into acceptable form); by roughing up Krycek, Mulder gets the physical contact he craves without having to admit the desire. (2) Reaction formation (unwanted feelings are repressed by acting out the opposite); by acting as if he really, really hates Krycek (like, assaulting him without provocation) he can deny the desire. But all of these defense mechanisms only keep the desire from conscious awareness; it was totally there in their body language in this ep.
Theory 2: The Two-Factor Theory of Emotion. Mulder was uncharacteristically violent with Krycek because HE LUSTS AFTER HIM. Yeah, just like the Freudian explanation, but this one doesn't involve the unconscious. This theory says that many emotions (anger, attraction, euphoria, embarassment...) consist of a generalized physiological arousal (pounding heart, etc.) plus a cognitive label. So, anger and euphoria essentially *feel* the same; the reason you know which is which when you experience them is that you look at the situation that evoked the emotion and label it in a way that makes sense. The flip side is that it is possible to mislabel arousal, and attribute it to something other than what really evoked it. Thus, Mulder is getting one shot of physiological arousal from his hate for Krycek, and another shot from his lust for him, but he's attributing the whole double shot to hatred, which is the first obvious label that comes along. So Mulder feels like he's REALLY REALLY angry, and punches the guy again. This "misattribution of arousal" has been demonstrated in tons of lab and field studies (there's a great one about an attractive female researcher and the Capilano suspension bridge in Vancouver...)
So there you have it in a nutshell.

In the Russian tradition, it was simply a parting kiss. Ever watch the Rusian
teams in the Olympics? Men kiss each other on the cheek and even the lips.

well, what do you know? i also have a "slow" button on my VCR, and viewing
it for the 40th time (of the 800 times i will probably end up seeing it) i
see that you're actually right. i wouldn't necessarily say that Mulder
*puckers*, but he definitely kisses back - damn, for the first time i wish
i had video capture, because there's one frame in particular i'd love to
have as a still - both of their eyes are closed and Mulder's mouth is
curled up towards Krycek's cheek - damn, that's hot.

Ah, yes Rick. We need to legitimize ourselves by getting the approval of
people like you. Gosh, if only Krycek were gay.. then all of the
closed-minded bigots of the world would suddenly change thier minds and
think "Gay is Good!!"
Beth, who doubts the kiss was "gay!Krycek", but gets pissed that it
bothers so many people that it might be construed that way.
The reaction that bothers me has nothing to do with gay per se (not that
there's anything wrong with that) but the fact that so many people are
apparently so desperate for a sex angle...ANY sex angle...in the show
that they will actually entertain the absurdity that the kiss was sexual
in nature. It's like thinking that all men of certain cultures are gay
if they greet each other with a kiss on the cheek.
Actually I believe naked baths are a custom everywhere. I know in my
house, baths are always taken naked.
As for Xena, sorry, the show readily admits to playing to the gay
audience by straddling the fence. Lucy Lawless actively goes into gay
bars for autograph sessions. It is done on purpose...and for
fun...sorry to disappoint.

Okay, go to the library, and read Intro To Sarcasm. A show is an object,
not a person--it cannot admit to anything. I thought lesbians didn't
like to straddle the fence. How, exactly, does one 'actively' go into a
gay bar? Is her tongue hanging out? Whom do you think you are
disappointing by posting this? The person whose humor you didn't get in
the first place?

Most first and second generation Americans tend to be exposed to their
parents culture and usually adopt certain mannerism. Some even pick up on
the language but most don't suddenly loose their heritage.
Krycek my have been born and bread in America but his parents could have
installed a strong Russian culture while he was growing up.

The scene was fully intended to sway Ellen fans over to the XF; the people
at 1013 want to rule the world. Mulder smiled because it was so very yucky.
Yucky things make Mulder smile. That's why he chases yucky things all over
the world.

Hello?

The TV images were displayed to stimulate responses from your mind. Your
mind responded to the images and interpreted them as being sexual in nature.
Genitalia were not displayed in any of the images. It's possible that
you're a mental pervert. It's okay though. We will appear to accept you
for what you are, but we'll snicker and point when you're looking the other
way. It's very yucky to think of these things. So very, very yucky.

*sigh* Mental note to self.. stop drinking coffee _immediately_ whenever you come
across a post by Ann.
-Beth, who has only seen about three episodes of Xena, the *kiss* ep being one. :)
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT BEHAVIOR HERE. I just don't want to be constantly
bothered by your private behavior. PRIVATE is the work here. So why
don't you just keep that shit to yourself (no punn intended) and just
talk about the public issues in public. Keep your private sexual
behavior private, and we'll get along just fine.
And by the way, YOU people usually do the name calling (ie. bigot), but
I guess that's OK for you.... Only us close-minded bigots have to watch
what we say.
And in closing, isn't this the X-Files NG or the Ellen NG?
Homosexuality has never been a sugject on the X-Files, but listening to
people like you, one would get the impression that it's an everyday
topic on the show.
>Here's the thing, I don't sit around all day talking about bush,

what you actually intended to convey was that you are a straight male who
doesn't think about sex every six seconds. being as the REST of the human race
(straight, gay, male and female) is widely assumed to be thinking about sex
every six seconds, i'd have to assume that your main problem is with sex,
rather than orientation.

*snort* according to the 'mainstream', sex takes place in the missionary
position between married people for the SOLE purpose of procreating. on behalf
of no other straight woman but myself, i'll ask you to keep the 'mainstream'

>WE'RE TALKING ABOUT BEHAVIOR HERE. I just don't want to be constantly

wonderful. as i'm sure most gay men & women would rather not have hetrosexual
culture shoved down their throats every second of their lives.
i know - let's get rid of ALL references to sex in society, and live in a
strictly puritanical way! that way, NO-ONE is ever offended! (especially Rick,
who'd rather not know that the rest of us are thinking about sex every six
seconds)

it's a good thing you didn't intend to write a pun, Rick - there isn't one.
according to my trusty Oxford, a 'pun' is 'the humourous use of a word to
suggest different meanings'. being as you've used neither humour nor a clever
double meaning, you've missed a making a pun on both counts.
oh well, i guess that writing career just slipped down the toilet...

By my standards, we *already* live in a puritanical society.
As a straight female, I was terribly offended by Rick. I can only imagine how
gay men and women must feel about guys like him.

I had a relationship like that once........[reminiscent

in bed together doesn't mean they aren't in love... (or at least, it
doesn't mean that mulder doesn't love scully, despite reciprocation or
lack thereof) :-)

This is interesting. Why haven't you posted telling people not to talk about sex
when Mulder touches Scully's hair, or looks deep into her eyes? A few days ago,
I saw a post by a guy who said something about his wife. Obviously, he didn't
feel a need to censor his 'behaviour'. I don't have a problem hearing about some
guy's straight wedding. I don't find it even a little disgusting when Heidi
*thuds* over something. I can even cyber-fantasize over John Cusack (although I
admittedly wouldn't do him in real life.)

Hmmm.. it wasn't name calling to call everyone on this ng a 'closet case'?
Actually, I'm sorry for calling you names. I do apologize. I appreciate you.
Reading your post reminds me that it's easy to keep a sense of humor about
non-tolerance.

I know.. Christ, it's getting ridiculous.. How dare all of those fags and dykes
think they can watch any show except Ellen?! (Well, and Kids in the Hall) In
fact, reading this newsgroup, you might think Peeps were an everyday topic on
the X-files. Or that John Cuasck was a recurring guest star.. (Side note to
gizzie: I'm just kidding about the Peeps...:)
So anyway, I was in bed with my girlfriend the other day...

Speaking of "mainstream".. I was watching _Roswell_ last night.The one with Kyle
McLaughlin (He's not an X-files actor, I don't have to spell his name right!!!!)
At the end, they said that one in ten Americans believe that we are not alone. One
in ten Americans are gay. Hey, Rick.. have you ever been abducted by aliens? :)

So, these two gay guy I know were slow dancing the other night at the biz.. and
one of them slips his hand up the other's back in a slow, seductive moment... and
I thought, wouldn't it be cool to see Mulder and Krycek dancing together? :)

TOO right... ;)
now here's a question: if blokes have a 'thing' about lesbians, and het chicks
have a 'thing' about gay men, does this mean endless sexual frustration is a
natural feature of hetrosexuality? ;)
Yes and No...does that clear up my stance?
Anyway, I always wondered about the hetero female view of this topic.
This ng has enlightened me a little. Every female I know, when I tell
them of the male lesbian fascination, tells me that sex between
homosexual men >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>PUT THE KIDS

was in fact a turn-off. It's been explained to me that it's the more
feminine attributes of some gay men that they find attractive. In that
it is a quality non-existent in so many hetero males. What is the true
story?

It varies. Lots. Some never so much as think of it, let alone be turned on
or off; others revel in it.
LOTS of others. ;-)
Layna
ummm...they're lying? ;)
i'm afraid it's the MASCULINE attributes that i like about men. straight or
gay. period. shoulders, hips, chests, hands, and...well, ALL the rest.
i'm not sure what you mean by 'feminine attributes' - do you mean traditionally
feminine roles, having feelings, or generally showing more sensitivity than a
brick?

What a perfect scene that would be! I wonder how they could work into in

Krycek, and Krycek grabs his arms and starts to dance with him instead

I would say that sexual frustration is a natural consequence of
sentience (wheather said sentient being is homosexual or
heterosexual).
Oh, yeah. Lots and lots of others. Lots and lots and *lots* of others.

David seems to like playing with his image, he'd probably do it. We could
make it more interesting ot the masses and add Skinner as well. There might
be a *few* people on this ng who'd like to see him naked. :)Or, you know,
they have to go undercover and pose as a couple or something, ala Drew Carey

*snort!* great comeback! And I totally agree with Beth in a post or two
back. She said much better than I could exactly what I was thinking.
As for the Biblical angle, I don't buy it. Judas was trusted friend. Mulder
has already been betrayed by Krycek once, and expects nothing else from
him. There must be trust before there can be betrayal. I don't think that
exists between Mulder and Krycek, now, or anytime in the near future.

No. Just male hetersexuality. That's why all men should be lesbians. :-)

(From the Harvard Student Handbook, 1906)
Oh, come on! We's jes havin' a lil fun :)
This is the X-Files newsgroup, yes. That means that if we discuss a kiss
that happened in an episode of the X-Files, between two major X-Files
characters, it belongs here. A discussion of what that kiss means and the
various interpretations on the said osculatory event is hence also
appropriate-- In This Newsgroup. This discussion wouldn't be appropriate
in the Ellen newsgroup. Now you may disagree with the interpretation that
some have chosen to make. Some posts about some topics on this newsgroup
bore me too (or piss me off). May I suggest you skip or kill file threads
you don't like?
And second of all:
Rick, you are laboring under some serious misapprehensions. First of all,
most of the folks here who have been arguing on the side of a homoerotic
interpretation of the Mulder-Krycek kiss, are straight women. They just
happen to be straight women who get off on seeing two handsome men together.
Some of these folks have been arguing for a long time that there has been
a hint (or more) of homoerotic tension between Mulder and Krycek for
some time. The kiss is simply more ammunition for their case.
The other point is that the people arguing for this interpretation are
not trying to further some political or social agenda. Gay and bi-sexual
people *do* exist in the real world. And some of them might be in the
X-Files. Alex Krycek could conceivably be bi-sexual and have an amorous
interest in Agent Mulder. Then again, he may not. We don't know. We
like to speculate on all aspects of the X-Files, and relationships (sexual
or non-sexual or somewhere in-between) are all fair game. Mulder/Scully fans
do this all the time too. It's fun, and I honestly don't see the difference.
In anycase, don't you think making Alex Krycek, a murderer, coward and a liar
(in Mulder's own words) into some kind of gay-bi role model a little ludicrous?

Sonja

Hey, maybe Marita was just Krycek's "beard". [I just learned that word,
thanks to this ng! Yay!]
Besides.... I'm of the mind that Krycek was using Marita. I mean, I guess
that's obvious enough.... but he was using the whole sex angle to try and
win her over. And of course, she was doing the same thing to him, which
was the last thing he expected (because who could resist the charms of
Alex Krycek?), and that's why she won and got to run off with the boy.
I'm sure that the Krycek/Marita kiss was so passionate on his end because
he was picturing her as Mulder. =)

A professor where I work (Medill School of Journalism, a school in
Northwestern University) is a contributing editor at Rolling Stone. I
think I'm going to forward this idea to him. Probably won't go anywhere,
but hell, if he so much as mentions it, we'd be farther along then we are
at the moment.
And I love the idea of them having to go undercover as a couple. Because
you know, with the sexual tension that already exists, they couldn't
pretend for long without it actually happeing :-)
Who could resist Krycek? Now there's an interesting question. Just
curious, is there anyone on this ng who doesn't find him beautiful beyond
belief, Ratboy nature or no?
And let me go on record as wholeheartedly endorsing your Krycek/Marita
kiss theory (but wasn't it nice to see him that passionate? I've
rewatched that scene a bit too many times as well ;-))
Yep. Krycek is bi. Krycek is also a hermaphrodite
which means he has both kinds of sex organs.
Therefore, Krycek is also both male and female.
Therefore, Krycek is both a lesbian (because he's
female) and he's also a gay male (because he's
male). Krycek is a lesbian guy.
: that they will actually entertain the absurdity that the kiss was sexual
: in nature. It's like thinking that all men of certain cultures are gay
: if they greet each other with a kiss on the cheek.
Or like thinking that (*gasp!*) everyone has the potential to do something ... gay?
Or like, with the shippers, noticing how sex can be seen as permeating many human
interactions.
Wow, creepy.

It shocked the hell out of him. I don't think he was turned on, but I also
don't think he was repulsed. I honestly think that he didn't know *what* to
think.....anymore than we do (I think K wants him). It kinda hits him at a
time when he doesn't know what to think about *anything* so it may not register
with him to the point where he agonizes over it. He's got bigger <snort>
things to worry about ;-)

if I saw that guy naked. ;)

Oh, I agree. Mulder definitely tops Krycek (but not by much, IMHO). But
I'm reveling in Ratboy lust at the moment - we get so little of him,
usually.

I don't think Mulder was turned on either - I saw it as more of an intense
romantic moment than a sexual one. And I agree that he didn't know what
to think. But I do think he was thinking (though probably not agonizing)
about it, even with his bigger problems - that line about "the
inextricable relationships in our lives" seemed to be directly about
Krycek. He put it out of his head when he left for the base, but I think
he was sitting in the dark thinking about that kiss until Scully's arrival
pulled him out of it.

I don't think so exclusively. The "inextricable relationships" line applies to
nearly *everyone* in his life.......in other words, I don't think he was being
that specific.

I KNOW I'm not the only one who played that scene in slow-motion and
saw Mullder smirking at Krycek just before our guy planted the big one
on him. It looked like a dare to me.

Nahhh my vote is in for Rolling Stone. Being a straight (more or less)
female, I don't consider myself an advocate of homosexuality. I just
like to see these guys together and I don't see anything wrong with
it, which is a long way from taking up the torch for the crusade.

Oh, I agree. But I think maybe Krycek figured a little more heavily into
his thoughts at the moment than, say, Frohicke, because of what had just
occurred. Does that make sense?

Probably because his bulging, um, biceps and incredible six-pack would be
too intimidating ;-). Really, though, MP is built. DD and NL could take
some lifting tips from him. This is not to say that I don't adore our "I
can throw a strike or sink a three" Mulder or our newly "beefy" Krycek.

I generally prefer naked people to clothed people... But I have seen Skinner
as naked as I want to.. all that's left is the little pokey, and who needs to
see that. :)

Krycek is Russian. This is not unusual for Russian men to kiss
each other.

Um, we have. Krycek is not Russian, he grew up in America (hence: Kiss
my American ass). And even if he was Russian, that was not a friendly
kiss. It just wasn't. Got watch the scene again.

Kissing is like handshaking. American men often shake the hand of people
they don't like, or aren't friendly with.
I am in awe of the number of people who are reading into this kissing
thing as either being gay, or infecting mulder. I don't think its either.
Krycek made the choice to renounce his "american-ness" and "embrace" (get
it?) his Russian-ness. Even though he's been playing both sides from the
middle, i think it is clear that he considers himself to be russian now.

What about gay guys who have a thing for straight men? And gay gals
who have a thing for straight females? I think "wanting what you
can't have" is always a staple of sexuality...no matter what
orientation.

Yes, but as a gay man who does not practice anal sex...I can vouch
that at least 40-50% of the gay couples I know DO NOT practice
penetration...but rather stick to oral and manual stimulation.
It is always funny to me to realize that straight people think gay men
are running around having anal sex with everyone they meet.
Straight people are so focused on "penetration."
Sex can be many things...and anal sex is practiced by a minority, not
a majority of gay men, that has been my experience at least.

I think it's that since we (gay men) have no sexual desire for
females, we are able to see them first as friends and intellectual
beings and then strong frienships and bonding often occur. Once you
remove sex from the equation, then true friendships are easier to
begin and foster...Hence the frequency of same gender friendships in
the straight community.
How many straight male and female CLOSE friends do you know?
It's the whole WHEN HARRY MET SALLY conundrum...
The CLOSE friendship pairings are usually (not always, but USUALLY):
Straight male and straight male (NO SEX THERE...)
Straight female and straight female (NO SEX THERE)
Gay male and straight female (NO SEX THERE)
Gay female and straight male (NO SEX THERE)
Gay female and gay male (NO SEX THERE)

Okay, I don't know how much you've looked into this, but I have been
informed by by more than one Russian man on my various listservs that
kissing as a form of greeting or saying goodbye is just not the common.
And even if it was, I ask you: How many times have you watched that
scene? There was a lot of feeling in that kiss - it wasn't a perfunctory
action.
Amen, Stefan. I get better advice, better emotional support, and (sorry)
less cattiness from my gay male friends than from my women friends. Now,
since it's so long until a new episode, let's discuss straight women
being friends with lesbians. ;-)

straight women, probably because with a lesbian, there's absolutely no chance
of competition in the luuuuv department. :)
Disclaimer: Preferring the company of females does not mean I don't like men.
*grin* In fact, I shared a house with 6 gay guys once and they were the best
roommates I ever had :)
