General: Hmm, what to say? Mulder/Scully shipper here, so the fangirl in me also went nuts. I remember people were virtually throwing blows over whether they were together or not. Haven was a crazy place to be, pre-movie. Whitney being impaled was so great as well! I smiled big on that one too when I watched the extended cut.
Plot: Some guy is harvesting body parts for his gay lover in a remote part of Canada? This is the story CC had sat on for six years? I like to think not. I like to think there is another installment out there. That being said, there were good moments. Most of which were the Mulder/Scully stuff. I also liked Billy Conneley more than I probably should have, considering he was a child molester. *sits* Anyway..
Ending: The ending still kills me. I get the whole "nod to the fans" wave thing, but it was lame. So was the boat. I could have settled with no boat and a shot of the kiss without the back of Duchovny's head.
This is the story CC had sat on for six years? Seriously, Mary Shelly is like, in her grave, rolling over and being all, "Chris Cater, you have very sizable BALLS, dude."
Re-watched with my family this week. It was fun listening to my mom catch my dad up on the plot: "They had a baby together, you know? And he was abducted but then he came back. And now Scully's a doctor, but neither of them are working for the FBI anymore... But they aren't married."
I love how Whitney calls Mulder Fox, and then, as quickly as a fangirl can say, "Oh, no you d'dn't, die!bitch!die," she does.
I still need to watch the extended cut, obviously.
I like the ending, but I think it's totally to be taken as a weird little wink. I don't think they actually go on a magical tropical vay-cay, you know?
I LOVED THE MOVIE. And like you I think the story was just fine. It was just like any other XF episode. I don't know why everyone always expects aliens when there were only a couple of episodes about aliens. Well I know some people expected that. I much prefer stand alones though so maybe that's why I enjoyed it more. It makes me sad that this realistic movie couldn't stand up to movies with CGI. I just loved how real it was and it doesn't get the credit it deserves much.
I've probably seen this movie like 500 times after having the dvd and what not. I love to quote it and watch it and watch it some more.
Oh and Scully gets a curse word for once and she says balls to boot. Oh and scratchy beard for the win. Yeah.
Oh and I agree that the whole sister thing was annoying. Let's bring her up. Um no. I loved the boat scene myself. And I freaked out when I heard there was an X in the ocean via the reef. I had no idea about that.
Finally, can I just say I loved all the inside jokes! It was fun trying to find them all and noticing them in the theater.
The DVD would not play in my player and I had to rip it; damn you, Fox. Made me forget to rip the extras. I only remember the art boards and the fan extras.
Okay, when Scully gets to Fox's house, she looks around as if she's NOT BEEN THERE IN AWHILE. I don't understand why some people think they've been living together this whole time. Clearly, as we see later on, their relationship had some sort of deterioration in the past 6 years. If they were still deeply in lurve, "scratchy beard" would not exist. She even says, "I worry about you and the effects of long-term isolation." Their powerful Hank Moody fucking make-up sex was just that: MAKE-UP SEX.
Who the FUCK is that strawberry-blonde who keeps giving Mulder the eye in the bullpen? At first I thought it was Marita since I hadn't seen her in awhile, but of course it's not. Is there something from the show I forgot? Oh, and Xzibit = bad actor.
Scully's major angry skepticism annoys me. Since when was she all up in the hard-core Catholicism?

I didn't think Scully looked around like she hadn't been there; I noticed that she walked in without knocking--something they NEVER did in the series with the exception of Existence when Mulder had apparently moved in. It doesn't make any sense to me why they would suddenly be in bed together after some sort of "deterioration" when they were clearly fighting over his deep involvement in the case. They didn't really have time to make-up, break up
