Anticipate The Unforseen

A fangirl who cannot be programmed, categorized or easily referenced. Except for now it's mostly X-Files most of the time.

And the force summoned Teresa Nemman's body into the woods tonight. Yes! But Billy Miles took her there. Summoned by some alien impulse. That's it!

i fucking love how watching xfiles in order gives you such insane emotional whiplash

like for example, s1 you have ice, this amazing "the thing"-esque thriller, immediately followed by space, which is probably top ten least memorable episodes in the world. beyond the sea has so many emotional beats and insane levels of acting skill, immediately followed by fucking gender bender lmfao. the absolute mindfuck of having the duane barry/ascension/one breath trio interrupted by the 14 year old emo kid's vampiric wet dream that is 3??? unparalleled levels of unhinged decision making in that production room

anyway, i just watched colony/end game, and it ends with that poignant scene between mulder and scully in the hospital, after she put on such a demonstration of loyalty and love by ignoring his wishes and going after him and saving his life, and mulder finishes the scene by talking about how he has renewed faith in his search for truth despite his heartbreak, and it's beautiful bc in the end, isn't loyalty, love, and faith what this show is all about? -cue credits-

then "watch next episode" pops up and

it is the one with the invisible gorilla

this shit sure does keep you on your toes, huh?

Happy birthday, X-Files! I discovered to my horror after 15 years of marriage that my husband had never seen you. I am fixing that now and we're partway into the sixth season. I'm impressed at how modern the storytelling is; clunker episodes occasionally, sure, but no dead time on the screen. Every bit of story counts.

What is emotional about rewatches is that you can see everything at once. You see their beginning in the basement office and know everything that is to come, even if they don't yet grasp the impact of that first handshake. Mulder and Scully surf a tidal wave of stories, both canon and not, rising and falling and being reborn from the sea of collective imagination over and over again.

Mulder and Scully live on the way that any of us lives on, in the stories told about us. So, as we give thanks today to CC and the boys of 1013, to David and Gillian and the rest of the cast and crew for bringing these marvelous characters to life, let's also say happy birthday XF fandom. XF is 30 today, but we keep the flame burning, and in our stories, Mulder and Scully are eternal.

Happy 30th, XF!

this is my aesthetic ✨🧚‍♀️💅🏼

[anticipatetheunforseen]

I can’t decide if the audience or Scully got cheated more when this got cut out of the film.

CC owes us both.

[fbi-basement-buddies]

I love how Scully just looks confused while Mulder looks actually offended that the guy used past tense. My very platonic partner is STILL incredibly hot thank you very much ya punk now get outta here.

But the thing [Martin] Landau really couldn’t figure out was why credit is rarely given where it is due.  He gets almost angry in castigating those who can’t see the show’s greatest assets: David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson. “What no one is picking up on is this relationship between these two actors.  It’s gold, and the audience reaps the benefit of people really understanding a character.  They’re not lovers but there’s a sexual tension between them.” Landau goes so far as to compare them to Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy. “And you don’t see that kind of relationship any more in films.  […] Not enough critics have recognised that the thing that holds The X-Files movie together is that relationship.  It’s a knock-out.  These guys know the tone of each other’s voices, they see something in their periphery that the other is doing.  They know what’s going on before it happens.”
