#txf script

MULDER: I don't think you can know. I mean, how many different lives would we be leading if we made different choices. We... We don't know. SCULLY: What if there was only one choice and all the other ones were wrong? And there were signs along the way to pay attention to. MULDER: Mmm. And all the... choices would then lead to this very moment. One wrong turn, and... we wouldn't be sitting here together. Well, that says a lot. That says a lot, a lot, a lot. That's probably more than we should be getting into at this late hour. (MULDER looks down at SCULLY. She has fallen asleep against his shoulder. Music begins again. In slow motion, he tenderly brushes a strand of hair out of her face, then gazes at her a moment. He pulls his Indian blanket over her and carefully tucks it around her. Camera pans around to the fish tank with it's bouncing UFO decoration as MULDER gets up off the couch. The rhythmic song "The Sky is Broken" continues playing. The camera pans down under the fish tank to a small figurine of Buddha on the shelf below.)

thinking about the lazarus script because scully is more important than his beliefs & being right. she's grieving, she can't really make sense of what happened to jack, while she was their hostage.

it always makes me think of beyond the sea when he tells her "open yourself up to extreme possibilities only when they're the truth" — the way he doesn't push "the truth" here because it doesn't matter. a man died, scully's friend. someone she so obviously cares for. and that's the truth that's important.

Final Destination was originally an X-Files Episode. Huh?

So am I the only one who didn’t know this?  Probably.  I randomly came across an article about it, which contained the entire script, as originally written by Jeffrey Reddick, as an X-Files episode called Flight 180 before being later being reworked into the movie Final Destination.

Finding this was like a free X-Files episode lol... If you fancy reading it, you can find it here: http://cdn.bloody-disgusting.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/X-Files-Flight180.pdf

There is a tiny bit of MSR in there, (see pic) but the most remarkable thing about it is that it finally introduces Charles Scully as an on-screen character.  But yeah it’s pretty good.  There’s one thing about the script I really didn’t like though, but I can imagine it will be obvious what I’m talking about if you read it yourself.  Or have already read it and I am just super late to this party.
