Before we delve into details, I must say, in understanding David and Gillian’s relationship and maybe also in growing up a little more, I think I’ve come to appreciate the up and downs and the frustrations of the Mulder-Scully-Relationship. And while I still think SEVEN SEASONS, was waaaaaaaay toooooooo long to drag out their relationship, I do think that their wrought journey through the 9 seasons + 2, is actually incredibly realistic.
I think, instead of having the characters hook up from the get go (I’m looking at you season 1&2), which I think would’ve been the route that most TV series would’ve done, I think it’s actually quite realistic, while frustrating, of relationships between people.
(I mean... ok if we’re to believe that inspite of all the love-hate-love between David and Gillian and they’ve never once even slept with each other after 25 years, hell, I guess the 7 seasons that took their characters to hook up is not too far fetched!)
But that said, I think I’ve come to appreciate mulder and scully’s journey with each other more.
That it’s not all just about love, it’s also about fear, it’s about learning to trust, it’s about frustrations with each other, it’s about doubting the other, it’s about hating each other guts, but in spite of all that, to still follow the other, to be completely dependent on the other, and to love the other.
Intended or not (probably not) the X Files had evolved to become a story not of the pursuit of the truth but a story of them, of Mulder and Scully.
I still blame that on David and Gillian’s chemistry haha.
That X-Files would probably have played out completely differently had mulder and Scully been played by different actors!
Anyway, this is part 1.
