Gillovny Jigsaw: Anniversary (1)

To honor Gillovny month, and my blog's one year anniversary, I am creating a site map of sorts (for MSR posts see my two collections). Each post will have around hundred gillovny-related links. These will be pinned. I'm not crazy, I just need these memories to pull me through these dark years. I hope you enjoy...

— Gillian Anderson deflecting the real reason she put the Chewie harness on Nelson 👀 (via campaignofmisinformation)

[youokay-mulder]

Well, there we go! 

[korydc]

On the very same day she tweets this:

Also when David says, "You had a one night stand?" Gillian silently stares at him for like 4 seconds.

she looks like the cat the swallowed the canary.  so to speak.

@gillovnyphile, @crossedbeams, and anyone else who is tickled pink by this topic. More jealous Boo regarding the topic of Rodney. Poor Rodney, he never had a chance.

From Kevin and Bean Radio Show, 16 October 1997  Painstakingly transcribed by Diane

Kevin and Bean Radio Show

[Comments in brackets are copyright 1997 by Diane. All rights reserved.]

BEAN: Right, but while we’re talking about the Emmys, though uh, what was going on with Gillian at the Emmys this year? She has never looked more depressed than she did that entire night.

DD: Well, I think Gillian’s very, uh…

BEAN: Emotional?

DD: No, no, I think it is very hard for her in public. I don’t think she, she has, uh, an easy time of it with those kind of crowds and all that kind of attention. So I think she kinda…she tenses up a little bit, so it’s not really, it’s not really *her* that you’re seeing. It’s just, uh, she’s a little scared.

BEAN: Cuz, you know, we know Gillian a little bit. We’ve had her on the show a couple of times, and you couldn’t ask for a more delightful, outgoing, funny woman.

DD: Yeah.

BEAN: But on that show, she just looked like she was having a *horrible* time.

DD: Yeah.

BEAN: And she won!!

DD: Yeah.

BEAN: Wow, what’s it take?

DD: Yeah, yeah.

KEVIN: To cheer you up

BEAN: And she won!!

DD: [jokingly] If, if she lost, she might have, like, broken out the AK-47 and mowed people down.

BEAN: Now the rumor in the paper this week is that , that was.. she got engaged that night. Do you know anything about that?

DD: I, phhhhtht! I didn’t hear anything about that.

KEVIN: You know this guy she’s going out with?

DD: I know Rodney, yeah, but I, I, ah…

BEAN: Now what do you think of him?

KEVIN: The rumor was that night he asked…..

DD: Are they engaged?

KEVIN: That’s the rumor. Who….We don’t know. It’s just a rumor. We thought maybe…

DD: [pretending to cry] I’m always the *last* to know, aaaah!

BEAN: We thought maybe you could shed some light on that, but…

DD: [mock sarcastic] Obvi….Apparently, I *can NOT.*

KEVIN: Yeah.

BEAN: Tell us about this guy, though. Is he right for her? Or do you have fears as we do? You don’t want to get involved with a guy with a talking tattoo. We’re just telling you, in general, you stay away from that.

DD: [chuckling] I don’t know. He seems like a good guy, um. He’s, he’s *tall,* which, which, ah, which the ladies like, as you, as *you* know, I’m sure.

BEAN: Well, yeah, look at me–I’m a lady killer.

DD: And, uh..

BEAN: When he showed up at the Emmys, he was wearing one of those shirts, it was opened up down to his waist or something and I just thought, you know, what..she, she’s dating like a, like a *bandera* dancer or something? I don’t know what’s going on.

DD: Well, you know, the ladies like that. What can I say?

BEAN: It’s hard for us because we don’t think *anyone* is right for Gillian.

DD: Really?

BEAN: We hate….

KEVIN: Well, she’s like the perfect woman to us.

DD: Is she?

KEVIN: So it’s hard to picture anyone else with her.

DD: Really? Except the two of you?

BEAN: Exactly. That’s right.

KEVIN: But not at the same time.

DD: No??? [pregnant pause]

BEAN: We saw one of the, ah, we don’t know who it is on the show, but somebody sends us outtakes from your show from time to time, you guys have a very funny outtake reel from “The X-Files.”

DD: [mumble-slurs in mock(?) discomfort] Ahhh, yesss.

BEAN: As, as, as, many shows do, but ah, there were two in particular I wanted to bring up that I thought were very funny. One is, there was just this, uh, this *massive* kiss in an elevator with Gillian that was very funny.

DD: Uh, below, below the waist kiss, that one? [K laughs]

BEAN: No, It was a different one.

KEVIN: No, that’s where she…..Yeah!

BEAN: Oooh! That’s right. That was a good one.

DD: That was from the first season.

BEAN: Is there more of *that* tape…….????

DD: [squashing hopes] Eh, no.

BEAN: Okay, and, two, is uh…

DD: Wha a ma…a *kiss*? Oh, that was……

[Here I think he was going to talk about the kiss from Memento Mori that was cut, but he gets interrupted and never gets back to it. This might confirm that there *is* a 4th Season blooper reel that got smuggled to Kevin and Bean and may eventually wind up with us, let’s hope.]

BEAN: Wasn’t in an elevator that full-on kiss, you remember, Kevin?

KEVIN: All I remember in an elevator is what *he’s* talking about, where she’s, ah…

BEAN: Where she gets down.

KEVIN: Gets on her knees, yeah…

BEAN: What am I thinking of, Jimmy?

JIMMY: What? I don’t know what the hell you’re thinking of!! [laughter]

The precious last part, and we’ve missed this for two years. Sorry guys for ruining your Friday night. I can’t help it :D

ES and RM: By ruin, so you mean, MADE BETTER? Love this. Love Paley in general to be honest. It’s one of our most favorite things.

Gillovny Jigsaw: Anniversary (2)

These links (jigsaw pieces ☺️) are more or less jumbled together. So it's less chaotic, I have tried arranging them in chronological order. But look. The most important pieces of the puzzle, the missing links, belong to David and Gillian, and them alone. I respect their privacy. I even respect their denials. And my opinions, are only just that. So whether you put your faith in hard facts, or just have a gut feeling, we can all agree that their real world chemistry is just as potent as what we saw in the X-Files...

Gillian and David are so careful with each other, so protectors with each other

When she was cold:

When he straightens her hair:

When she was scared:

When she was pregnant and he acted like a father: 

The way she is always attentive to him:

Interviewer:  Are you two [David & Gillian] close?

DD:  Not personally. We’re close professionally, as can be.

Interviewer: There’s respect and admiration as colleagues would have …

DD: She’s the other one holding the other side of the rope. I mean, I rely on her, I trust her, and she does me. We don’t ..

Interviewer: Why haven’t you bonded?

DD: Well we have bonded in that way.

Interviewer: In a professional way. But you’re not friends, you don’t go out to dinner, you’re not …

DD: … It’s funny ‘cause Téa and I, my wife, just had a little party in our new house, and it’s my first party that I’ve ever given really in my life, and Gillian came. I invited Gillian and she came. And when she came, I said, you know, this is really screwed up because I can’t, any longer, say that we don’t socialize.

David Duchovny Defended Gillian Anderson

Remember how GA stood up for DD on Letterman's show (here)? Found a previous incident where he took up for her.

Turns out, it's something you have to do (often) in the tabloid industry. (Note: for clarity's sake, this reporter wasn't trying to be antagonistic.)

June 11, 1998: Q: There is a certain chemistry between Mulder and Scully that we're led to believe doesn't exist between Duchovny and Anderson.

DD: Well, that's just something we do, because we want people to think we're really good actors.

Q: She does it really well, though. She kind of alluded to the fact that you guys didn't get along.

DD: You know, you have a working relationship with somebody that, over a period of time, gets strained. We've had five years together, very closely working together. I can't psychoanalyze Gillian, but I would say, she just wants people to know that she's a person with her own feelings, and that's one way for her to say that I'm more than Scully. Her not wanting to comment on that is like saying, "I have a life going on here that's more than Scully, or is more than the show and I want to be taken seriously."

[scullyphile]

Gillian on Watch What Happens Live. Yeah. That’s Interesting. Yeah.
