Remember when Chris Carter wrote this line?
“To see the sum of his work was to see inside his own emptiness; the heart of a destroyer, not a creator.”
It’s times like these I think about “Milagro” and how, if Padgett keeps writing, Scully will die, and it’s only by throwing his own words into the fire that she can live.
But Chris Carter resents the fact that his alien monster show turned into a love story popular with women so much that he’s spent the last 25ish years roleplaying as Padgett if he’d kept writing, and in doing so, incinerated the characters in the process. Now he’s actively removing them from the story altogether. Breaking them up, cutting them out of IWTB, signing off on a Mulder/Scullyless reboot. I’d actually find it supremely fascinating if it didn’t piss me off so much.
