I was watching this the other day and realised...Scully is really, really tan in this movie. Or so it seems to me. I must keep my alabaster skin Scully. It's one of our common traits!!
The most perfect arms that ever armed. You're not kidding.
I opened every single picture you linked in another tab and I'm going to stare at every single one of them for a long long time. God, now I feel like I need to watch FTF again, and I just watched it not that long ago. Maybe I'll just fast forward thorugh all the boring old man parts, but goddamn. If you want good Mulder & Scully, look no further than this film.
They're both kind of tan. But I'm okay with it, because it's summer and they're all sweaty and it looks nice. Not that I condone any sort of tan, but they don't look bad, I'll say that. I am, however, pro-pale. Since I, too, have that in common with you and Scully.
And these caps aren't even that great! They're kind of fuzzy looking. And yet: GORGEOUS. I have no idea how millions of people weren't drawn into this show by this movie.
You mentioned the thing that constantly drives me NUTS, which is Mulder discarding Byers' jacket. I DON'T CARE HOW DASHING YOU LOOK, MR. MULDER, BORROWING SOMEONE'S SUIT AND THEN THROWING THE JACKET ON THE CEMENT WHILE RUNNING HEROICALLY IS NOT GOOD MANNERS.
Is it sad that just reading your words and the looking at the caps you chose of the hallway scene makes me feel weirdly weepy? I just, you know, them.
I KNOW! I really hope he bought a new suit when he got back from Antarctica. Because it's not like Byers is rolling in the dough or anything, what with his lucrative career as a straight-laced conspiracy theorist.
I just, you know, them. Oh, I know. Boy, do I know.
This film literally makes my heart flutter. That sounds cheesy, but IT'S THE TRUTH. I get kind of nervous and tingly and uncontrollably grinny when I read about it or think about it or (dare I even say) SEE IT. It's perfect in my eyes. Even the uber-sci fi, utterly un-X-Files opening scenes. BUT I HAVEN'T READ THAT PART OF YOUR RECAP YET, SO I'LL SAVE THAT FOR WHEN I GET TO IT.
I love how he sheepishly shuffles the map around, looking at something on the ground that’s apparently incredibly riveting. So, my favorite thing about season five and FtF is how suddenly Mulder looks like a ~movie star~ AND IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL AND DISTRACTING. Season one, male model. Season two, porcuipine. Season 3, really really attractive ordinary dude. Season four, OMG THE SPARKLES ARE COMING. Season five & FtF SPARKLY MOVIE STAR MULDER!!!!! You know what I mean? Probably not because I sound like I'm on crack.
Hi, Mulder. You are really, really hot. And maybe dashing. And heroic. (You're lookin' good, too, Scully.) NGH, HAVE MY BABIES.
You know what I mean? Probably not because I sound like I'm on crack. HAAAA. Except I totally do know what you mean. It makes perfect sense. (Speaking of "male model," there's totally this split second in "Requiem," after he brings her into his room and they sit down, where he looks off into space before looking back to her, and I ALWAYS think of it as his "male model" look.)
MY ASS. I know, right? That line is totally rehearsed. She's been practicing it on the way over. Seriously. And after he gets her in the hallway and is spouting LOOOOOVE at her, she's completely speechless, because Mulder has gone off book and she has NO IDEA what to say to what he's saying to her. Like, even in her wildest dreams, she wouldn't have dared imagine him saying this stuff.
And and and...what he says! Like, he starts out all professional, talking about her science, but then he gets to YOU MADE ME A WHOLE PERSON. I know that line should sound really silly, but I'm getting shivers just thinking about him saying it. And MEANING IT.
Well, hello! You don't know me, but I found your link to this entry on adinfinitum's journal and being the curious monkey that I am (and because I absolutely love FTF and I just watched it for the 24245345 time just a couple of hours ago), I had to come here and take a look and *breathes* I LOVE YOUR RECAP SO FREAKING MUCH! You mentioned exactly all the things that make me love this movie so hard. And sexy Mulder pics... well, those are always a bonus :D
I was wondering, are you accepting new friends? Mulder lovers, M&S shippers and X-Philes in general must stick together! *puppy dog eyes*
Hi, Mulder. You are really, really hot. And maybe dashing. And heroic. Already, you are killing me with the caps, woman! Damn. I love that shot you mentioned too, though I might love this one JUST a bit more...
SCULLAY!” I swear to God, I could listen to the two of them say each other’s names in different ways for hours and hours, like some weird acting class exercise, and be perfectly happy. Haha, me too! Plus, I think someone once counted how many times they yell for each other in this (really, when you think about it, ultimately pointless) scene, and it's in, like... the thirties. And I will always love dearly that residual-New-Yorker!David adds in that "a" in her name where it really has no business being. Always.
I CANNOT FATHOM having a bee crawling around for hours without noticing. Heh, I know. I do remember someone asking Chris Carter, during the IWTB promo, if the bee was somehow "attracted" to the chip in her neck, which has always been my pet theory. Apparently I was right!
“I debated whether to even tell you in person
( ... )
“The upholstery’s already ruined.” He’s determined that his last words be a sophomoric quip. Haha, I know. That and "if those are my last words, I can do better" perfectly sum up cynical, jackass Mulder in a way that I just love. Probably because I'm the type of person who would react in the same way.
He is driving a Sno Cat across Antarctica for her. Shut up, I'm already a mess over here!
Mulder doggedly fighting evil in cold climates DOES ME IN. I think it’s the big coats and the dampness. And oh god, the STUBBLE. My poor friend Kylie... she loses her shit at Mulder-in-Antarctica like you wouldn't believe. In the theater, at the double-screening, she literally like... whimpered quietly next to me at this part. It was so cute.
Because even IF WMM hadn’t given him the location, Mulder would have punched and pistol-whipped his way through D.C. to find out where she was.Didn't he have a limited amount of time though, considering it's a weak vaccine? I can't remember how many hours WMM tells him anymore, but it's no more than 2-3 days

Didn't he have a limited amount of time though, considering it's a weak vaccine? I can't remember how many hours WMM tells him anymore, but it's no more than 2-3 days, I don't think (and he spent a nice chunk of that in the hospital, I'd assume). He says 96 hours, but he doesn't specify if that's from "now," when they're talking, or if that's 96 hours from infection. I'm going to stop thinking about this and just roll with it, though.
Oh man, I thought it was just me who had the weird love for that! Because I really, really love that. It's my faaaavorite! It's a combination, I think, of his tongue (WHAT? SORRY) and of how hard he's concentrating on giving her this vaccine, the way he gets rid of the cap as he's going to give it to her.
It's really damn hard to hear at home, but in the theater? I totally hear it. (Tack this onto: more reasons why Zellie hates The Beginning and the somewhat adorable banter at the end of Alone.)Good! Because sometimes, if I squint really hard (yes, squinting improves my hearing), I can hear it, and

I'm going to stop thinking about this and just roll with it, though. LOL YES, THIS. This is what you have to do to get through this movie with your brain intact (or at least not angry). It's also why the "If you think that doesn't make sense, wait for the next scene" cap from inlaterdays' hilarious recap of "Herrenvolk" absolutely SLAYS me. That is just so... very XF. "We know, it doesn't make sense, just roll with it."
NO APOLOGIES NECESSARY. Have you forgotten who you're talking to here? ;)
I'm the same way, actually, at least when watching at home; sometimes I'll hear it and sometimes not, it really is that faint. And I think we'd all like to pretend The Beginning doesn't exist, frankly.
I don't know either! Short version: I think his actions in TF/OS (and leading up to them actually, in a subtle way) speak to a culmination of guilt on Mulder's part. I really do get the feeling that for the first time in the series, he approaches true hopelessness. I know I've already said so, at one point or another, but bardsmaid's analysis of those episodes are
