what is up with mulder's account in "bad blood" actually. why is he portraying himself as a submissive little girlhusband who's scared to offend his emperor, queen and majesty miss dana catherine scully. why so demure.
I love how he is like "as long as you're being over the top about my actions during this case. Im gonna double down, even though we both know im full of shit and your version is probably a bit more accurate. Also sorry I didnt get you real cream cheese I know that pisses you off and honestly my bad."
We all agree we are jist gonna fast forward to see if there is a sex scene right?? Because honestly this movie was one of the least interesting xfiles.

rewatching "e.b.e." and "i think it's remotely plausible that someone might think you're hot" is still one of the craziest lines in this entire show 😭😭 the way mulder doesn't even glance at scully pretending to busy himself. the way she stops and looks up at him. the silence after!!!!! OMG.
#105: Use the words fireworks, kiss and midnight in your next story.
#351: "I could kiss you right now!" "You're very welcome to do it."
#399: "Kiss me or kill me, but make up your mind right now."
#412: "One kiss before we die?" "You can get the kiss when we survive, so move!"
#447: Kissing in the rain sounds romantic until one of them ends up with pneumonia.
#488: "You kissed me." "You kissed me back." "And I'm not here to apologize."
#490: "I would appreciate it, if you would kiss me right now."
#555: "If you don't kiss me, right now…" "Then what?" "Then I will have to do it myself."
#577: "Are you going to hit me if I kiss you?" "I might if you don't."
#670: The kiss cam definitely had it in for her.
#832: "Why do I feel like that dog gets more kisses than me?"
#875: "When did you find out?" "When you kissed me, probably."
#978: She was not the type of person to back down from a dare. And everything he did was daring her to kiss him.
#1002: "I can't stop thinking about kissing you." "Then do it. Get it out of your head."
#1005: "Would you kiss me for 100€?" "Sorry, but I don't have any cash on me right now." "No, I mean I would give you 100€ to kiss me." "Why would you give me money to do something I would pay money to do?"
#1008: "It was just a kiss." "I know. But does it have to be just that?"
#1010: "Let's not worry about the future. Let's just take this one kiss at a time." "I like how that sounds."
#1016: All their kisses so far had been full of anger. Too rough, too desperate. This one was their first kiss that was soft, without urgency.
#1061: "I have wanted to kiss you every time I've seen you smile." "Then why haven't you yet?"
#1080: "I can't stop thinking about kissing you." "And what are you going to do about that?"
#1087: She wanted it all. The lazy mornings in bed, the fight over which movie to watch, the bumping into each other in their small kitchen. The disagreements and the tears and the kisses and their love. For once she wanted to be selfish, and she wanted to have it all.
#1122: "Well, I did kiss you back, didn't I?"
#1128: "You really love me? This is not a prank, right? Because then I would have to punch you and I actually really want to kiss you."
#1266: "Why is your stupid face just so kissable?"
#1303: "You almost kissed me." "And you sound disappointed that I didn't."

A small detail from a scene of “Dreamland II” I find intriguing is when Scully exposes Morris Fletcher as fake Mulder. Fletcher has just more or less dragged her onto the waterbed, and they are both lying next to each other looking at themselves in the mirror above.
“You hate it”, Fletcher/Mulder tells her, half question, half statement. There’s a significant little pause before she answers, in a pensive, (I find) somewhat sad tone: “No, I don’t hate it”. And this is revelatory, and I love it to bits, because it's so cleverly done, both visually and how GA interprets it. What she sees in the reflection is something unreal (and that’s what we see in mirrors, an inverted, alternative world, a possible threshold, think of Alice’s Looking glass), a wish: Mulder and herself together, in a bed = as lovers. But what’s meaningful, it’s what we see and hear there as well: not Fletcher, as in all the other body-switch scenes, but Mulder, speaking with his own voice. We get to see her dream-wish too.
Then Fletcher turns around, rests his face on his hand and says, “You hate it”. Scully pauses, knowing it is Fletcher but choosing to look at the “Dreamland” up there for two more heartbeats. “No, I don’t hate it”, she says in that melancholy voice and means, I wish this were real, I wish it were you here with me instead of this horrible man. Then sits up, slips back into reality (steels herself, I guess) and proceeds to unmask Fletcher.
There is so much in this single sentence for me, it’s so subtly done and so precious to me that she reveals what she is longing for by saying it the way she does.
