Yes. Mulder and Scully. Sort of. Ha!
They did a (FINAL OF ALL FINALS) Season 11 last year and it’s still there: Mulder and Scully.
But I guess I won’t delved into MSR this time, not yet, but rather David and Gillian.
Well...
One might say that the X-Files would’ve never been the X-Files had it not been Mulder and Scully and Mulder and Scully would not been Mulder and Scully if it wasn’t for David and Gillian. And I sincerely believe this. Had the characters been casted to a different pair, I think the X-Files wouldn’t have endeared and endured as long as it has. It definitely wouldn’t have gotten a reboot 25 years after the first ep.
Of course, I do think David and Gillian should just get it on and be together haha, I do ship them as much as Mulder and Scully, but... in my current cycle of being crazy about the X-Files again and this time, really digging deeper into the whole David-Gillian fiasco, I think I am definitely NOT a Gillovny- fans who TOTALLY believe they’re in a relationship.
In fact, dwelving more into it, I actually believe it’s the contrary.
Firstly, I DO think that their relationship has changed TREMENDOUSLY.
Look at that Kimmel clip! Does that look totally PLATONIC??? Not in the least!
Also, Gilovny fans are right, something probably did happen to them between 2013-2016, because if you watch a lot of the clips of them from this period, they are suspiciously and noticeably waaaaaaaaaaay closer than they had EVER been! In terms of being physically intimate, they’re definitely different. Even the BTS for TFX seasons 10 (2015) and Season 11 (2017), they’re really crazy close. It’s insane!
I don’t think it’s faked tho, for publicity, I think they’re just what they are when they’re with each other and that’s just what they’ve evolved to be at that point of their relationship.
Totally platonic friends kissing hello, on the lips, that is.
Anyway... I digress.
David it seems is dating a 25-year-old.
Gillian too is in a long-term relationship with a very accomplished producer.
And in that aspect, I totally diverge from Gilovny fans.
I DO think those fans are deluded.
I’m not sure what happened between Gillian and David or if it’s just age, but whatever it was, that was just what it was and it WAS.
I think Gillian and David are definitely past their point of hating each other and not being able to stand each other.
I think with time and age and distance and being reunited in work again, they probably found their common ground and they probably finally embraced the chemistry they’ve been cursed and blessed with- and I think that is why they had been so comfortable with each other.
That after all the bullshit fights, all the cant stand each other, all the spaces and silence between them, I think they probably understand their connection and how they have something special between them that is natural, that life and destiny had just dumped on them without their consent. And I think it’s finally acknowledging this connection, they’ve learned to embrace it and exploit it to their own enjoyment, and to the delight and chagrin of fans and haters.
I think... what I enjoy the most is really seeing them grow old together but seriously wtf, as much as they grow old, the connection of their souls is timeless.
It’s really just them and the world does not exist when they’re together. It’s true. When you watch the videos, sometimes it’s really like they forget that there’s a conference room full of people looking at them.
Thaaaaaaat said.
I think that’s all that there is to David and Gillian. That the relationship they have really is confined to that time, that moment, that space that they share when they’re together when their orbits happen to cross and the universe just fades and it’s just them and the timelessness of their eyes on each other and their whispers into each other’s ears. That their world, their relationship with each other, their chemistry for each other, and dare I say, their love for each other, really only exists when they’re with each other physically.
I think once out of that context, once their orbits start moving apart again, once the cameras stop rolling, once the comic con is over, once they get into their respective cars, once they go their separate ways, David and Gillian are completely different from each other.
I really don’t think they share much in common.
I really don’t think they have the same values, the same believes, and I really think who they are as individuals are as different as Mulder and Scully are to each other.
But unlike Mulder and Scully, I don’t think their differences bind them together. I don’t think their differences are complimentary to each other.
They’re just very very different people who want very different things.
So, it’s very unfortunate, that two people whom life has thrown together and seemingly bound their fates together with a chemistry that cannot be broken by time, their differences, and distance. Inspite of that, it counts for nothing, David and Gillian are just not meant to be because the forces that repels them are just greater than the forces that binds them.
So that’s all I have to say about Gillian and David.
It’s unfortunate but, their relationship just shows that chemistry and even fate count for nothing in the end, if two individuals are just as different and incompatible as incompatible can be.
That said, too.. I will always always always love seeing them together, because for that fraction of a moment when they touch, when they look and SMILE at each other like they’ve been in love with each other for lifetimes, when they whisper in each other’s ears and giggle like the world and no one else existed but the other, for those moments when it’s David and Gillian together,... it really does make me.. I want, I want so desperately to believe.
I want to believe indeed.
Haha.

Coz...... it’s a different ship!............. right...?
Hm!
