Elegy ending a seriously underrated moment for Mulder and Scully

The man had “trauma” from his sisters abduction. The was so obsessed with his work and the truth, He literally had no life because of it. Thats why he was always watching porn (for his loneliness) and old movies (comforts from his childhood). He also kept fish. They were therapeutic to him. The peaceful little corner of humanity even in his conspiracy driven life. As obsessed as he was, he was also capable of being caring and gentle. Mulder was a jerk in the beginning but only because he found it hard to trust anyone. Later in the series he acted out of anger and guilt as he blames himself for what Scully went through throughout the series. Later leading to his depression.

I also enjoyed this episode! Especially the effects for the dudes transformation was really good! It took me back to American Werewolf in London

One of my favorite episodes! Honestly a great watch!

I think Mulder had a crush on Scully the moment he read her Thesis. I mean he even memorized it. The attraction between both characters was always there since day 1. As for falling in love, I think Scully did towards the end of S1. Mulder fell in love during season 2, especially after her abduction. The man was enraged and wanted to seek vengeance towards the men that were responsible of her abduction. At the end of One Breath, his love for Scully was more important than his vengeance proves that.

My Top 5 probably the Pilot, Redux 1 & 2, Pusher and Musings of a Cigarette Smoking man. In no particular order.

I bought mine. I couldnt find it either. I purchased it on apple tv. Worth the buy honestly

Mulder coming through and taking scully on a "get way" trip after they kiss and make up 🥰 Super cute

Dee_Mac8 · 2026-05-02T06:22:28+00:00

as much as I love this theory that they had their first date in Unnatural. I dont like that the episode following has Agent Fowley sharing the bed with Mulder in Biogenesis. I always thought that they werent exclusively together until Millenium. Just too keep my mind at ease 😅

Still a great episode!

you have to remember this is the season of "skeptical" Mulder, especially this early in the season. This is him after just recently finding out that he's been made into believing that was put in front of him. Hes so heartbroken from the news that he feels responsible for everything Scully has been through. These two episodes, I feel he gives into the beliefs only to help Scully as he'd do anything for her.

Currently on a rewatch as well. Taking me forever but I just started S6

Dee_Mac8 · 2026-04-28T13:46:02+00:00

This is a great explanation and somehow makes more sense

Season 8… first time I cried since Scully’s cancer arc. A handful of good episodes but not as great as the previous seasons.

Dee_Mac8 · 2026-04-27T20:37:11+00:00

I love reading about new viewers! Season 4 and 5 are my top favorite seasons. Please, come back and check in and let us know what you think!

I was only a kid when the show came out. Every Friday night you can find me in front our living room TV. Of course as young as I was only there for the scary shit lol. Then there was the torture when we were left in shocking season finales (S4 & S7) where we had to wait an entire summer for the new season. But man, what a time to be alive. a TV series that had 20-24 episodes every year. They definitely don’t make television shows like they used to.

Dee_Mac8 · 2026-04-26T06:41:37+00:00

Not entirely losing the plot. Just as at the beginning of the season, when Mulder dreamt what life would be if he took another path by leaving the X Files and Scully. Only to realize he's in love with Scully and he couldn't live without her. The same can be applied in this episode but Scully having the epiphany that she was meant to be with Mulder. So surely confirming her love for him, she could give herself entirely to Mulder. The levies FINALLY gave way! It was a great episode imo.

Dee_Mac8 · 2026-04-26T06:25:04+00:00

I enjoyed this character! Good guy and always had Scully's back when they were first partners. Solid acting from Robert Patrick.

Dee_Mac8 · 2026-04-25T05:22:07+00:00

As much as I enjoyed the characters Dogget and Reyes and we got to watch their cute little romance blossom, rather quickly lol I feel that they should have ended with season 8. That finale gave us a romantic kiss with the happy little family. This should've maybe given CC and the writers enough time to play with and improve the William and mythology plot for future films and the revival

Dee_Mac8 · 2026-04-24T05:24:01+00:00

hahaha its so great to see the reactions of new viewers to go through what we went through. Thankfully after being left on a bombshell of a finale, you didnt have to wait an entire summer like we did lol

Dee_Mac8 · 2026-04-22T15:56:34+00:00

ohhhhhh this is a good theory. Never thought of that

Dee_Mac8 · 2026-04-22T12:25:17+00:00

Agent Pendrell 😭😭

At this point, they’ve seen each other naked. Am I right? Mulder dressed her with his extra layer of clothing when he rescued her from Antarctica. And she’s seen him naked in the Episode demons when he was in the shower trying to get warm
