THE X-FILES | Requiem (7x22)

“What’s wrong, Scully? You look sick.”

“I don’t know what’s wrong. I was starting to get ready for bed and I started to feel really dizzy - vertigo or something and then I just… I started to get chills.”

“You want me to call a doctor?”

“No, I just want to get warm.”

Hi! for the X-Files themed asks, could you answer 16 and 17? I really want to know your take on these.

16. Favorite character developments for Scully?

6x8 How the Ghosts Stole Christmas: This episode was a masterpiece in so many ways, but when Scully goes to Mulder's apartment afterwards and says "maybe I really did want to be out there with you", she's choosing to break the cycle of denying their feelings and not confronting them and actually choosing to be with him instead of letting him drag her on some wild adventure just to be with him, and it really shows that she's ready to at least open the door to something more if not to walk through it just yet💖

Season 8: I really loved how during this entire season when Mulder is gone Scully is almost immediately thrust into his role as believer, and even though she's still kind of uncomfortable with it because she's not used to it (see her expression when Doggett refers to her as an "expert in paranormal phenomena" or something like that lmao), she really rises to the occasion and carries the torch in Mulder's absence. Like in Badlaa she just takes it on faith that Mulder would have seen through the illusion and understood what was really going on even though it doesn't come as naturally to her, and she said she just wasn't capable of having an open mind but that's just her insecurity and lack of confidence talking, she's a lot more open minded than she thinks especially after seven years with Mulder. It just shows so perfectly how she's transformed from a rigid skeptic to becoming more open to extreme possibilities, which we started to see in All Things but which is even more obvious in season 8 after Mulder is abducted and she finds herself with nothing left except the strength of his beliefs (and his baby)🥺

17. Favorite character developments for Mulder?

5x12 Bad Blood: Probably my favorite episode in general, but it also has an underrated and overlooked (at least it seems to me) Mulder moment, when after being jealous of Scully's interest in the sheriff for the whole episode (even giving him buck teeth in his version of the story) he voluntarily gives her the opportunity to be alone with him in the cemetery while he goes to check out the trailer park. The overall humor of the episode makes it easy to miss, but I think this is one of the earliest moments where he consciously puts her happiness first at the expense of his own❤️

Fight the Future: I know everyone (including me) hates that bee more than anything in the world, but Mulder's speech immediately preceding the bee incident was I think the first time he actually put into words how much Scully means to him, and expressed it to her outright and without any hint of ambiguity. He's actually facing his feelings directly instead of hiding them behind jokes and sarcasm, and I don't think it's a coincidence that the very next season is filled with many of the most shippy MSR episodes of the whole show❤️

7x22 Requiem: This is probably the clearest example of how much Mulder has grown over the course of the show. In the pilot he's like "the only thing I care about is the truth and there's nothing more important" and when he's spooning Scully in bed he tells her "there's so much more than this", and he wants her to go home because she's safer there then following him into the dark. Even though he needs her by his side it's more important to him that she's safe than she helps him find the truth, because without her the truth doesn't matter as much anymore❤️

✖️✖️✖️✖️✖️ 7x22 Requiem

The one where... they go back to Bellefleur, OR and Mulder is abducted, leaving Scully pregnant and alone 😭

Best: GA’s acting in the final scene with Skinner!! Just, the range of emotions that flicker over her face as she tells him she’s pregnant... The little half sob that the episode ends on haunted me all summer and fall of 2000 and the past 21 years.

Worst: Once again, CSM should have died here. I place the blame on Krycek and Marita for pushing him down the stairs and not stopping to make sure he was dead!!!

Rewatch Thoughts:

SOSS: Mulder: We could start sharing rooms. Start, right...

Scully: I’ve seen things that I cannot deny. Way to prevaricate Scully.

Scully: Let’s go waste some money. They’re so pleased with themselves 😂

I hate the ‘caught in an alien force field’ special effect, it looks so weird and hokey 😆

Mulder watching Scully with the baby 😭 He doesn’t know she’s PrEgNanT witH thEiR BaBy 🙃

For symmetry’s sake she really should have come to his hotel room in her robe, just saying.

I love how both familiar and intimate and yet awkward they are with each other when she comes to his hotel room. She comes to him for comfort, he slips her shoes off as she slides without hesitation into his bed and then he wraps himself around her. But she also thanks him, because maybe this is still new, maybe being vulnerable with him like this, letting him take care of her like this is something they’re still getting used to.

Mulder: Looking at you tonight holding that baby... knowing everything that’s been taken away from you. A chance for motherhood and your health and that baby. I think that, I don’t know, maybe they’re right.... Maybe what they say is true, though for all the wrong reasons. It’s the personal costs that are too high. There’s so much more you need to do with your life. There’s so much more than this. Maybe she’s just upset at the thought of their work together ending, but I can never get it out of my head that he means that it’s time for her to move on, not for them to move on together. This is also the only episode in season 7 where Mulder’s behavior makes sense to me in the light of Mulder’s stupid brain disease - if he were really dying he would be (TELLING HIS DOCTOR!!) preparing Scully to move on from the X-Files, from him.

Mulder: There has to be an end Scully. And later, Mulder: It has to end sometime, and that time is now. It bothers me that he’s making that decision for her. The kind interpretation, at least in the first scene, is that he’s letting her off the hook, telling her that she won’t be abandoning him or letting him down by moving on. But in the second scene he’s drawing that line for her. I do like the symmetry of the moment in 11x09 Nothing Last Forever where Mulder says I’ve always wondered how this was going to end. And this time it’s Scully making that call and asking him to do it with her, together.

Why is the ABH so good at pretending to be Detective Miles and so bad at pretending to be Deputy Hoese? Maybe because he’s abducting her so once she lets him in it doesn’t matter if she believes it’s him 🤔

Mulder: These abductees aren’t just systemically being taken. They’re not coming back. On what are you basing this assessment Mulder? Some of them have only been gone a few hours!

So... they didn’t find Billy Miles at his house so they immediately gave up and went home 🧐

And Scully did not get a medical check up in those two days, sure...

The awe and wonder on Mulder’s face as he steps into that beam of light changing to oh shit when the ABH steps in after him...

When I saw this when I was 15, during the original run, this ending - Mulder abducted, gasp! Scully pregnant, gasp! - took me from obsessed to OBSESSED. I remember reading all the online speculation and fic over that long summer and fall before the season 8 premier, there were some wild rumors out there about how they were going deal with DD’s absence - some of it was probably way better than what the show ended up doing. Sigh, good times.

Episode-Related Fanfic Recs:

I just don’t have it in me to wade through the 1000+ Requiem sad, sad Scully fics on Gossamer right now... If anyone has a favorite Requiem fic please let me know!

Holy fuck

Requiem

With the scene where they meet Billy Miles again and realize how much they've learned since they were there just seven years before and how much it changed them.

(Especially because it feels like they've come full circle in glimpses of life together with a family. They spent time essentially responsible for toddlers (Emily), kids (Gibson, Amber La Pierre), and now they meet some kids they helped years ago again only to find that they're young adults with their own children. They can see the possibility of that future together shattering.)

With the scene where Scully plays with Theresa's baby to keep him calm with a brilliant, incredibly bittersweet piano solo by John Snow is featured.

And the scene where Mulder keeps Scully warm intimately but respectfully. And the whole vibe is that they're terrified, but as long as they're together, they can have a moment's peace.

(They know a devastating ending is coming. It feels like they're grasping for each other while the whole earth crumbles, swallowing them.)
