Dear Fox execs:

Hollywood bullshit:

the network initially required Scully to always stand a few feet behind Mulder

I’d argue she is actually more famous than duchovney now. Especially after Hannibal and The Fall. Other than Californication, has Duchovney done anything of note? Not to mention she hasn’t had any addiction problems, is generally a better actress, and somehow managed to Benjamin button herself.

They’re just trying to be authentic to the original series. They want to get everything accurate, right down to the bullshit 1990s sexism.
