Hi! So, the parental ambiguity comment came from the conversation in Founder's Mutation. Particularly after My Struggle, where there were those two reinforcements that William is their son, it was just weird to hear Scully ask if his conception was an alien thing. But, I do think that Mulder's daydream put that to…

Mitch Pileggi is always hot. That voice, and those eyes, and the beautiful bald, and his body is tight and fit. And I may have a crush on him that began in 1994.

When she's in the UK, around British speaking Brits, that's how she talks. And when she's in America, she drops what we call the accent. It's a deliberate choice, I believe, to use an American accent for her American projects, but she is bidialectal given that she spent her formative language years in London. She's…

Hey, I'm here for you. And making the same comments you are about the mythology episodes. :)

I upvoted for the wonderful William narrative insight. Because I absolutely, 100% agree. Not to mention, William represented the profound healing Mulder and Scully were able to give each other. Her choice (unless they were communicating somehow off screen it was *her* decision) to give up their child should be woven…

I'd add Essence/Existence to your list. The overt baby Jesus stuff aside, there was a lot of excellent action, character moments, literature references, and it would have a been a stellar end to the series. Oh, and I'd also add Milagro. If, for nothing else, it's an incredibly honest look at how writers can try to…

I remember that you mentioned watching with your grandmother. I'm glad you got to watch with her. That's very special.

Well… not exactly just because it's The X-Files. In Per Manum, Trust No 1, and Provenance/Providence there are subtle hints that some abductees who were confirmed unable to conceive were chosen to become pregnant through natural means to bear children with alien-human hybrid DNA. I extrapolated that it may have…

Nice to know I'm not the only one who did that sort of thing! Though, my PowerPoints were Mulder/Krycek. And my fics were generally MSR. Though there's at least one or two that are Mulder/Krycek. And I still have them all.

Not to mention the emotional wrench of their worst fears regarding their son. For Scully, it's that he'll become alien, other, and no longer the representation of the normalcy she thought she craved. For Mulder, that he'll lose his hope for family and that William will be taken from him like his sister and Scully; a…

I'm pretty sure the intention from @lane6866:disqus was Maggie Scully. Scully's mom. And, I'm pretty sure that's probably the case. I love Mama Scully. And I'll be a weepy mess if she's the one that dies. Of course, I'll be a weepy mess if it's William too.

Yes, I love the idea that William is the next stage of human evolution. The religious symbolism in Existence was a little silly, but I didn't mind the gift from God - at least not between Mulder and Scully. Scully is a person of faith and, as far as she knew she couldn't conceive, and Mulder is a man who had no real…

Not to pick nits, but… Carter is the one who fought for Gillian Anderson's casting in the role. The studio wanted Duchovny and someone taller, leggier, sexier, whatever. And also, what @avclub-884c4beddd8c98bb3b016bdfcc1bcdf8:disqus said.

In no particular order: Vince Gilligan, Darrin Morgan, David Duchovny, Glen Morgan, James Wong. We talked about this in the Classics reviews, and I put Chris Carter as an Honorable Mention, but I'm moving further and further towards putting him in the top 5. Because of the crew I named, Duchovny is the only other…

I have had, and continue to have the pleasure of introducing people to the show. I love watching new viewers fall in love with my favorite television show.

Making a spot for @avclub-9a73d886f7283a6fff213ccce22a1111:disqus and @Jordo and @avclub-ef2357374bf1e93486f01db1c9edc6dd:disqus and @The Crimson Avenger and any other Classics X-Philes that want to join, along with anyone else like @jiminy jilikers who sees themselves as an X-Files purist.

Me, too. Ok, there was a little misting for Scully's dream even though I knew it was going to happen. But Mulder's? That one killed me. Full-on sniffling tears. 2001 and rockets are so perfectly Mulder and it harkened back to the Sixth Extinction II spaceship boy. Duchovny crushed that end scene, particularly in the…

See: Paper Clip. He's got enough pull for the FBI and the Government and whatever we're calling the new Syndicate to pucker up and kiss his ass.

First things first. I hate that the West Coast sees it three hours after the East and, while I understand why, it was a bitch not logging in here. Second, the dream sequences and references to William were a punch to the heart - which was then ripped out, stomped into tiny pieces and shoved back in my chest. Live with…

Frank Spotnitz is working on The Man in the High Castle. And Gilligan is on Better Call Saul and both have said that if there are more episodes, they'd like to work on scheduling so they can participate.
