Revelations

the thing that makes xfiles truly truly transcendent is the way it is always showing us mulder & scully quietly observing and reacting to each other. if those two were even a little bit less obsessed with each other then it wouldn’t be as good. i’m not even talking about the romantic aspect of their interest. they are just fascinated by each other. they will never close the gap of fully and completely understanding each other but they will strive for it for eternity and that’s what makes them so good

To be reminded in Quagmire that Scully and her late father were "Ahab" and "Starbuck" to one another (a memory that she cherishes and honors even in the name of her own pet)... Despite their debate to Mulder's own similarity to Captain Ahab, it makes Scully's blithe, matter-of-fact way of calling Mulder "Captain" one of the most blatantly affectionate statements I can imagine from her

full disclosure I actually don't understand why Mulder asks Scully if she's lost weight during COTR. Is he just teasing that she'd be less tasty to cannibalize?

The reason why Scully and Mulder clicked so quickly and mesh so well as a pair is because they both posses a very natural, intense curiosity. It manifests in different ways, and in slightly different areas of interest, but the spirit is one in the same, and I think they recognize and love this in one another.

Scully is different, and so immediately endearing to Mulder, because she’s the first person to want to know what he thinks, and why he thinks the way he does, instead of writing him off outright. He's an interesting puzzle to her. Even if she’s steadfast in her constant disagreement, her curiosity itself is—in a way—an act of validation, respect, care.

Mulder is so immediately endearing to Scully because the way he thinks is unusual for their profession, and probably refreshing. He's anti-bureaucratic, emotionally sensitive, unapologetically strange. A "lone wolf" yet so open and easily taken by her. It turns out, his curiosity in the supernatural was born from something equally fascinating, and all too rare: his care for other people.

And love is a kind of curiosity… a deliberate interest, a constant desire to know…

She thought that was a little funny. Just a little.

was anyone going to tell me that Gillian Anderson voices the wolf god in Princess Mononoke’s english dub, or was I just supposed to read the end credits myself

Random character: "Your hard-ass partner was very rude to me."

Mulder, totally agreeing: "Oh, she's not usually like that. Usually, she's rigid in a way that one might actually find quite charming, as I so often do!"

Random character: "Your partner is a complete nutcase."

Scully, totally agreeing: "Now, Mulder may be inclined to ... peculiar notions, but he's a good man, one that I respect and admire, despite his notable eccentricities..."
