There will never be another character like Blackwall Dragon Age. He's a Grey Warden. The first time you meet him, he saves you from being kirked. He's an idealist. He's a romantic. He's a war hero and a protector and a knight in shining armor. He's a liar and a bullshitter and a coward. He's a family man. He's traumatized by his family's tragedy and his own failures. He's a sports fan. He hates nobles. He's trying to impress nobles. His best friend is a lesbian half his age. He made a suicide pact with his coworker. He's a fuckboy. He genuinly likes women. He helps his friends get laid. He makes toys for children in his free time. He's a child murderer. He always lies about who he is. He always tells the truth about who he is. He gets psychoanalyzed by Varric without either of them realizing it. He fucks so loud it scares the horses. He idolizes courtly love. He's not a Grey Warden. He's every Grey Warden that ever walked on Thedas.

Does anyone have a running count of how many times Skinner yells about his ass/the asses of others? He's like always going on about saving your ass, risking his ass, kissing his ass...

It's honestly a lovely through line in an often inconsistent series.

I will die on this hill: Skinner and Scully should have been together.

The way their dynamic evolved over the series—it’s undeniable that there was something there.

Skinner was her anchor in a way that Mulder never could be. Where Mulder was the storm, Skinner was the harbor. He was the one who stood behind her, protected her, fought for her—even when it cost him. And let’s be real—he was in love with her. You could see it in the way he looked at her, the way he never crossed lines but was always there, unwavering.

Mulder and Scully? It was always chaos. Passionate, sure. But also unstable, exhausting, push and pull, never solid ground. With Skinner? It would have been stability without losing intensity—a slow, deep burn instead of a wildfire that consumes everything in its path.

The show left so much unspoken between them, but it was there—the tension, the moments where Skinner would risk everything for her. Not out of duty. Not because it was his job. Because it was her.

In an ideal world, this is how it should have gone. Scully and Skinner wouldn’t just burn hot—they would last.

The entire x-files creative team: Continuity? Never heard of her. Show bible? No. Is Mulder a psychologist? Maybe. Did Mulder and Scully meet in 1992 or 1993? Who knows!

Also the entire x-files creative team: We WILL remember Mulder has a waterbed.

Amen, Mitch, amen.

The most terrifying thing about The X-Files is what a day in the life of Assistant Direct Walter Skinner must look like. He has to live in fear of both the Syndicate and Mulder and Scully. He’ll get shot or infected with remote-controlled nanobots and then he has to go back to his office and deal with case reports that are written in the style of experimental prose poetry.
