Throughout this six-episode run, we’re supposed to believe that Mulder and Scully are no longer in a relationship. But Carter wants fans to know that the duo’s “love is as strong as ever. Their paths have diverged, and they’re both looking for any reason to come back together — to reunite. But there are forces of reality at work against them.”
So is the final scene of “Babylon” — in which Mulder and Scully hold hands and discuss God’s will — an affirmation that Mulder and Scully are reconnecting? It’s not exactly the romantic reunion fans were hoping for, though David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson sell it, as usual. But Carter insists that it’s a watershed moment. “When we see Mulder and Scully walk off that porch, it’s a huge moment in the series overall. It’s an expression of the love and respect Mulder and Scully have for one another,” said Carter. (OK, but would it have killed you to give the ’shippers one little kiss?)
