FIRSTLY: I want to apologise for not commenting on any of these recaps before! I've read them all ever since we became friends, but I've always been in a situation where I haven't been able to respond. So I will attempt to make up for that now. (In this requiring-of-two-comments comment).
"This is great. This is fitting." I have a very strange love for that line.
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. TOTALLY AGREE GOSH. There are so many different ways that they manage to say each others names! I do especially love anxious!Mulder screaming "SCULLLAYYYY!", though, like in this scene.
“I debated whether to even tell you in person.” Yeah, that phone call would’ve gone really well, Scully. AHAHAHA. That line always seemed very strange to me. How could she not tell him in person? Seriously. "Hi, Mulder, just calling to say I'm leaving. Thanks for the past five years, kthanxbai".
This is all very poetic, but good thing Mulder decided to go into the Conspiracy-busting business, and didn’t want to be a dentist or something. That’s a pretty big gamble on old Bill Mulder’s part, isn’t it? LOL CAN YOU IMAGINE. "Dad, I want to be a dentist". "What? You were supposed to uncover the truth about extraterrestrials! I sacrificed your sister for this, dammit!"
he’s able to immediately track down Scully’s pod. Probably by scent. (Strawberry shampoo, OBVIOUSLY.) I NEVER UNDERSTOOD THIS. There was about a million of those pods, and he goes straight down the row she's in and literally finds her in a minute. I know, I know, don't think. :D
Yum, I love it when he pulls the cap off with his mouth, then discards it with his tongue. He does anything with his mouth and it's ridiculously hot.
He’s dressing her in his extra clothes! And carrying her! With her little sock feet sticking out! I wish I could have seen him dressing an unconscious, naked Scully. I have a feeling it would have been very amusing.
He does anything with his mouth and it's ridiculously hot. Yes. This.
I always loved that. And hated how nothing eventuated. Except the hand-holding, which was really pretty cute. I know! I mean, come on. Your lips were touching, and then he came to Antarctica to save you. Do I have to draw a "you're in loooove" diagram? (Because I will.) I remember, back in the day, being all, COME ON, you two, TALK ABOUT HOW YOU ALMOST KISSED. SOMETHING! It's cute how optimistic I was back then. But it's actually really frustrating how much their relationship progresses in this movie, only to regress at the beginning of S6.
I actually saw this movie for the first time very recently! Annnnd I did a running commentary when I watched it! I will definitely check it out! And are you a new convert? When did you start watching?
FIRSTLY: I want to apologise for not commenting on any of these recaps before! No need to apologize! I know they're usually pretty crazy-long, and it can be exhausting to properly comment.
There are so many different ways that they manage to say each others names! I do especially love anxious!Mulder screaming "SCULLLAYYYY!", though, like in this scene. Yes! That's my favorite way he says her name, and my favorite way she says his name would have to be when she's being sort of gently exasperated, and she goes, "Mulderrrrr," dragging the end out. THESE TWO.
There's no way he could just let her go, but it's lovely how he does this. Exactly! I like to think that he knows that he's going to go all out and be completely honest, and he has to steel himself for that, because it's not just going to be, "Hey, Scully, wait a minute, let's talk about this for a second." It's going to be serious business and he knows it.
MY FAVOURITE PART BY FAR. MAYBE EVER.Right? It's just a tiny thing, just one word, but...it's kind of huge. Since it's Scully
( ... )
I just wandered over here from phile_files, hope you don't mind my squeeing all over your recap.
The hallway scene! OMG! I could make incoherent noises talk about that scene for hours. It's just... guh. So good, with the shouting and the hugging and the BRAINSECKS and the touching and... *flails*.
You make me want to go and watch FTF again just in case this time there is no effing bee and instead there is kissing and maybe sexytiems and then Mulder is all 'Hey Scully, how about we forget all this shit and run away to Hawaii' and she is all 'GOOD PLAN' and then we can skip right to the post-credits scene in IWTB and miss out all that angst, and Doggett and Reyes can be hula dancers or something.
The hallway scene! OMG! Oh, I know. And what's kind of crazy, when I was typing those lines, they don't sound that great on paper. But somehow they're magical in the scene. FOREHEADS. That is all.
and Doggett and Reyes can be hula dancers or something. OR, better yet, Doggett and Reyes would never have had to exist. And that's a world I want to live in.
