The X-Files - “Audrey Pauley”

Written by Steven Maeda

January 25, 2002 (GREEN)

Doggett could kiss Reyes... “and she’d let him.”

Cut lines: Reyes has a theory about where she is...

Doggett dreams of kissing Reyes... “Hubba-hubba!”

I love the season nine episodes 4-D and Audrey Pauley, but one time someone told me “imagine if we got those episodes with Mulder and Scully instead” and it ruined me 🥲

I also find it so fascinating that in both episodes, Scully is so quick to tell the healthy partner that “there is nothing that can be done” for the injured one. She just experienced a miracle with Mulder, and she never would have given up if it were him, but she is resolute here

I know it’s because Doggett and Reyes respectively have to go through a crisis of faith where they have to acknowledge the supernatural elements at play, and Scully has to act as the rational, scientific foil for them — but it’s still jarring to see her refuse other possibilities

At the end of the day, she so badly wants to protect other people from the pain of waiting for something that isn’t likely to come. She knows how cruel false hope can be and wants to spare them, even if the alternative is just as painful

#Audrey Pauley #9x11 #but also while I think about s9:#Trust No 1 my beloved #William the episode that you are #Improbable what would I do without you #The Truth the light of my life #season 9 #txf #it's an awful season but you gotta appreciate it for what it is

Audrey Pauley will probably always be more notable for what is arguably Robert Patrick's best performance as Doggett, I definitely think it's just as interesting for how well it creates a story around a intellectually disabled person without sacrificing her agency or character depth, something the show (and many, many others) has dropped the ball on before.

my favorite part of constantly rewatching the x files is seeing someone who looks really familiar and wondering what else I've seen them in. and it's another x files episode

#my favorite is the guy who was in die hand die verletzt (s2e14) jose chung's (s3e20) unrequited (s4e16) and chinga (s5e10)#wonder if he would've been in more episodes if they didn't move from vancouver #yet another loss in s6 add it to the list next to mulder's hair and the constant rain #(I do love s6 though)#anyway #I was just watching mind's eye (s5e16) and couldn't figure out why the detective looked so familiar #and then I suddenly remembered him from ghost in the machine (s1e7)#currently watching folie a deux (s5e19) and this guy was also in shadows (s1e6)#when my friend was watching audrey pauley (s9e11) he was like why does this girl look so familiar??? turns out she was in oubliette (s3e8)#just saw on reddit the other day that the mother from home (s4e2) was also in clyde bruckman's (s3e4)#I know there's more but I'm not gonna list every single one lol #(actually I do have one more)#the monster in post modern prometheus (s5e5) and agent spender are played by the same guy lol #as the world's sole jeffrey spender fan I love that one

Your post about your Damerey origins got me curious... I've never gotten into x-files fics, but I did watch the show in reruns and there was just... no one cooler than Dana Scully (except Batman, but like... he was fictional and Dana seemed like a real person to me b/c my delusions started early in my life).

I've really been mulling over a re-watch. I'm a completist and would have no choice but to watch it top to bottom, movies and all.

Buuuuut.... do you have any favorite season arcs or episodes?????

Wow, this question really made me think. Honestly, this show was so much a part of me for so many years, it's hard to imagine that I haven't watched a single episode in years! Coming here to Tumblr and connecting with people who are current fans has helped my inner Phile reemerge, and I too crave a re-watch. And like you, I'd have to start from the beginning.

I can't say I have a favorite arc. Obviously the Cancer arc was the most important, but as a whole I've just always considered the series as one story (kind of like Star Wars; it's hard for me to watch just one movie, I have to watch them all). I can point out episodes I love from every season, although I will admit Season 6 is probably my overall favorite, hopeless romantic that I am.

I absolutely adore the first movie, Fight the Future, and can watch that over and over and over. I saw it in theaters 5 times, which tied a record for me that wasn't broken until The Force Awakens came out.

My three favorite episodes are:

Pusher

Triangle

Beyond the Sea

Other eps I know by heart include: Ice, Irresistible, War of the Coprophages, Grotesque, Paper Hearts, Small Potatoes, Bad Blood, Folie a Deux, Monday, The Unnatural, En Ami, Je Souhaite, This is Not Happening/Deadalive, Audrey Pauley, and Improbable. I enjoyed parts of the revival, but not enough to really get into it, and I was not happy with what they did to William, so I have trouble accepting Seasons 10 and 11 as canon. I loved seeing David and Gillian together again, but I wish they had stayed with Monster of the Week episodes instead of making the Conspiracy even more confusing and unbelievable than it already was. Also hate what they did to Monica and Skinner. So, yeah...

Anyway, this show truly changed my life. It gave me the best friends in the world, as we met on-line over 20 years ago and are still friends to this day. Here we are through the years; the first one we are on the Queen Mary, where they filmed Triangle, back in 2007. The last was my 50th birthday last year at Galaxy's Edge.

And of course, it's what first got me started in fanfiction.

I may be devoted to Damerey, but I will always be a Phile and proud to be an original shipper.

Cora Watches: Good Day For It (2011)

Today on Cora Watches, we're discussing an indie movie that was actually just... kinda great.

I watched this because of Robert Patrick. Knew nothing going in; saw it on his IMDB; had never heard of it; found it on youtube. I'm not going to spoil anything for you, because I unironically, genuinely loved this movie.

Big applause for Robert Patrick. This man, right here, is Intense™️. The way he brought his A game in the X-Files ep "Audrey Pauley"? That's how he brought it in this movie.

Here's all you need to know: this movie, at its core, is about an unexpected day at a small-town diner. Things happen. People meet, people interact, and it's great. It's a wonderful example of ratcheting up tension in a story until I was staring at the screen, wondering how it was all going to end.

Great things about this movie:

-Very nice, understated, realistic setting and cinematography. It was filmed in Pennsylvania, and it feels totally real, not like some backlot in LA.

-Robert Patrick and Lance Henrickson, in particular, are outstanding. Both perfectly cast.

-Joe Flanigan is also in it! Look at this cutie:

The cast is very good across the board: Robert Englund, Samantha Mathis, Hal Holbrook, and Mika Boorem (who played Romola Garai's younger sister in Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights).

Do I recommend this movie? Yes. It's great. And as of writing, it's on youtube. This is one of my favorite kinds of movies: intelligent, well-written, well-acted, and understated. It's an indie movie that wasn't overwritten to death by a giant studio. Don't look it up, don't spoil it for yourself. Just give it a watch.

#cora watches #good day for it #robert patrick #joe flanigan #samantha mathis #mika boorem #really just a good movie #robert englund

i have watched the x-files episode “audrey pauley” no less than 19 times to keep my brain in the right mode for this fic, and theee funniest moment is when doggett asks scully to autopsy this lady and asks “how would you make it seem like natural causes?” and WITHOUT HESITATION scully drops exactly how she would commit murder and get away with it. this was not a spontaneous answer. it is only thanks to her self-restraint that mulder only died on this show once.

#the x files #it is not played for comedy which is a shame

it’s gonna be predictable of me, but I gotta do it—Audrey Pauley 👀

oh what an episode. WHAT an episode. I say it every single time but who else other than Monica Julieta Reyes could make "You're a dog person" into something so near a love confession? and it's all ouroboros too, we end where we began and it's a mirror image of the opening scene, a new opportunity and more hesitation. and this time Monica doesn't say anything, she just accepts it. because she knows. she KNOWS more than she did before what they mean to each other. and so does he. and like... I think they both know that the other knows. they both know how they feel about each other and they know it's reciprocated, but the thing is that he isn't ready yet and she's perfectly content to wait until he is.

also Audrey thinking thay John is Monica's husband.... girl HELP

send me an X-Files episode and I'll say something about it
