I keep forgetting that Mulder wore that necklace while Scully was missing. It's even better when you recognize how much effort he puts into actively disliking the Christian God, meaning that the cross necklace was a symbol for Scully, not for Jesus. In this essay, I will-

almost comical how against religious interference Mulder is in Revelations like every ep he's explaining how the dirt monster is stealing the left sock off every little boys' foot but Scully suggests a little 12 disciples action and he's as combative as 14 yr old girl who just discovered she hates her mom. like girl we've been working to get Scully emotionally vulnerable and open-minded to weird shit for 70 episodes now and now your discouraging any and all her suggestions.

txf fandom correct me if im wrong but im watching s3ep13 syzygy and i think this episode is the first time scully smokes a cigarette on the show? and its coincidentally happening when shes muttering about how jealous she is that mulder is intent on solving this case because he has a crush on the detective in this town... this is such a moment. scully's first time smoking in the show is happening because shes jealous that mulder has a crush...

skipping the plot episoes in my rewatch of txf is so funny because its like yeah jack black is friends with some kid with lightning powers “mulder, after everything we’ve been through—“
