Annapolis or Georgetown?

I'm firmly in camp Georgetown.

Oh you who have been around longer than me: what's the evidence for Annapolis? Or is it just fanon that got away from itself?

Sounds like a trick question. :)

I personally favor Georgetown, just because of the distances involved. Annapolis is a bit far out, particularly while she's working at Quantico.

"Let's go to Georgetown."

I've actually been to Georgetown, back when I was in college. I went to a little tiny club with some friends and some Morrocan guy was hitting on me, asking me if I would marry him (no doubt so he could get his green card...)
And I got clonked on the head by someone's elbow because the dancefloor was about as big as your average dining room table.

*sobs* *clings to denial* Annapolis...

No, it was canon until FTF, when Mulder was all 'Let's go to Georgetown' - a total WTF moment and hard to take seriously, since in the same breath he also said that he lived in Arlington. It wasn't until Padgett mentioned Georgetown in Milagro that we really had to start taking it seriously...

My rational explanation is that Scully moved from Annapolis to Georgetown at some point. And because she's a control freak she chose an apartment with the *exact* same layout as the previous one. It kind of make sense though that she wouldn't stay in a place where her sister got killed.

Anyway, that's my take on it.

Rationally, I know I have to wake up to this, but it's going to take the lot of you slappity-slapping my face, and maybe a 12-step program. I know I can't keep denying these facts when the evidence is there, but it's easier to just go on believing the lie.

This is like the whole 'Apartment 35' thing.

It kind of make sense though that she wouldn't stay in a place where her sister got killed.

What about Mulder saying 'Do you know how many people have died in there' to the landlord in En Ami?

My brain is breaking up on the notorious rocks of X-Files continuity...

Actually it's more of a 9 steps program, and the last two are quite hard to rationalize, they're the advanced class.

Appartment 35? Is that Scully's apartment number? (my memory for numbers suck)

As for Mulder En Ami comment, it could be that a lot of people got killed in her Georgetown place that we don't know about because...wait for it...they had cases in between episodes!!! Ah Ah!

1013 own special brand of continuity is like yoga for the brain - the hard twisty kind, not the "picture your happy place and breathe" kind.

We know her mother lives in Annapolis, right?

I thought her mother lived in Baltimore, but that may be fanon.

No, it's Baltimore for Ma Scully.**

**On second thought, I'm unsure of this. It might just be fanon; I know it's pretty established there.

You are right. She's in Baltimore. I had to look it up for a story I am writing but of course I have no recollection of where I found the answer.
