For the xf themed asks: 1, 13, 14, 23 🍞
Season 1 MSR or season 9 MSR?- Season 1 MSR I think.
Favorite season(s)? Why?- Seasons 2, 3, and at a push, 8. Season 2 because I like the vibes, season 3 because it has the most episodes I like and season 8 because it's the only season with a thoughtout storyline from start to finish that has a timeline to follow keeping it on track.
Favorite episode(s)? Why?- Little Green Men, Wetwired, Roadrunners, This. Little Green Men because I think it's a really well done Mulder episode. There's also certain shots that parrellel other shots earlier in the episode and I really enjoy that shit. Wetwired because I love how it's Scully who's affected by it and not Mulder which could've been the obvious choice to go with. We see Mulder's paranoia all the time but never Scully's even though she's been through so much by this point. The scene in Maggie's where she believes Mulder had something to do with her abduction says so much and poses so many questions as to what is going on with Scully's pysche right now and it's really disappointing it was never explored in the myth-arc but I guess that's why fanfics exist. Roadrunners- like Our Town- it's just a guilty pleasure episode. This- The whole clue/puzzle scenes like when they're in Arlington trying to remember which president was born on what day that shit really gets me excited.
Which broke your heart more: Emily arc or William arc?- Emily's. Her character was just pointless- set up to die which is not a bad thing in itself but that story didn't go anywhere after that. More Emily's should be out there (Orphan Black-esque clones come to mind with this) I'm not saying we needed to endure an Emily part 2. Episode but for as long as they have Scully's ova, they should just be mass producing Emilies and Emilios and we should see them crop up every now and then but that storyline just went nowhere. Emily died, Scully had her little breakdown in All Souls but that was that, that story died when Emily died. At least they tried to do something with William in the revival I guess.
Thanks for these B!!
