X-Files Rewatch~ ICE 1x08
Ice Ice BABY! Sorry. That song always comes to mind when I think of this episode.
* this will be a bit of a ramble. just throwing down some thoughts. no particular order*
This was a fun episode. It was not only a stand-alone but they were alone...well, isolated from the world with people/characters they did not know and can I add there was a lot of touching going on between Mulder and Scully. I'm not complaining but WOW, I had almost forgotten. Also, the worm and ear stuff..GAG. I kept grabbing at my ear making sure nothing was crawling in it.
I forgot how much Scully was kicking butt! Tackling people, triple her size, down to the ground. Her little legs flying throught the air! LOL she is such a toughy.
She also was once again having to prove herself to the Doctor that was assigned. He would challenge her and you could see her biting her tongue. But she WAS correct and she once again proves she knows what she is talking about and DO NOT underestimate her.
I loved that Scully and Mulder's trust was tested during this episode. The circumstances surrounding this ep and all the was going on, it lead to some major tense moments. The whole gun stand off was SO good! The screaming and challenging. WOW! CRAZY!
Mulder was so funny! He HAD to mention they were in the Arctic as they were checking for spots. LOL He just wanted to remind them just in case LOL
One of my all time fave moments is when Feli...okay I am leaving that there because I have Felicity and Oliver on the brain...and this moment reminds me of them due to the touching and just no personal space. Olicity and MSR's motto...My space is your space! Anyway...
I loved the two of them checking each other out ...and Scully thought she was the only one that was going to get to do that, so as she turns to leave and Mulder grabs her..*fanning self* she is a bit shocked. As he is checking her, he is so gentle. Sigh...these two. So much in just a touch.
I have to say the lighting always gets me. It really adds to the mood of it all. The use of flashlights. Who knew it could make things feel so tense and creepy.
The ending was great! The fight and Scully getting locked in the closet/storageroom/jail. lol Mulder being held down. It made me cringe. I have seen this ep so many times but it still gave me the heebie jeebies. eek
I feel like so much more trust was built here. Every episode brings them closer and even when they question each other it just doesnt trump their trust. They are building a strong foundation and learning how the other works. Their strengths and weakness and how the compliment each other.
Sorry for the ramble and being all over the place. Looking forward to the next one!
