You are one of the positive vibes in this fandom. Always. It is one of the reasons I follow you. Can I ask what you think this episode?

sunshinetoday:

I’m not gonna lie, this morning when the episode was over, I didn’t really have a lot of positive feelings…but evidently, I just needed a bit of time to think…And I’M sorry but it is one looooooong answer 🙈😊

So here is the thing. Chris Carter is a moron. Always has been, always will be. CSM is everything that is wrong with humanity. He is one horrible character with a GOD complex who never had an honest moment in the last 25 years. *Remind you of someone?CC? No?*  BUT

I really loved watching Gillian and David play Mulder and Scully. It felt natural, nostalgic, and it just made me happy. This episode was not about CC or his mythology. Not for me, anyway. For me, it is painted with feelings, framed by gentleness. It is not about the actual dialogues – of course, written by CC – but the way Gillian and David are playing all their scenes. In the last couple of years, we heard both of them fondly talking about the relationship between these two people. How much they love each other, how much they can’t live without each other and I think they can’t/won’t play them any other way. Not this time. 

David once said; “Without the other, they fall as people, as entities, as investigators.” And for me, this is what this episode is all about. We open with an episode where Mulder needs realism, facts; “Scully, I’m on it but first let’s talk to the doctors.” and Scully has the visions. Visions from their son who needs them and whom they need to find. Scully is the irrational and Mulder is rational… You know, how it’s always Scully telling Mulder to not jump on trains, nor board strange ghost ships…not this time. This time it’s Mulder telling Scully to not do the things she ends up doing anyway. Reversed dynamics but they easily slip into the other character’s role.They are one, only together, always in balance, there is no other way around it.

The episode is full of MSR moments proving this. Mulder’s monologues, all of his actions have one concern, Scully. This is a man who snapped and who is fighting harder than ever for what’s important to him. DANA SCULLY. The way they gaze at each other, how they talk to each other, the touches… I mean…for years we were asking for these moments. These conversations. And here they are. We will get them in this season! This is gonna be the season of not-secret sex and I can’t wait to die with all of you when this happens.

Also, do you remember, the COTL? ‘I believe that you will find all of your answers. You will find the answers to the biggest mysteries, and I will be there when you do…But my mysteries… I’ll never have answered.’ I believe that these were the big questions which we will get the answers for in Season 11. The conversation in the hospital, after MULDER SLIT THE THROAT OF A PERSON BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO HURT HIS MOST IMPORTANT PERSON IN THE WORLD… “The truth still lies in The X-files, Mulder. Our son Mulder, they won’t find him, but he will find us” And when he does, Mulder will get the answers he always sought, Scully will be there with him and their answers will save the world, will save us, will save them. And that answer is their son, William. 

So, long story short I can’t wait for the next 8 stand-alone episodes with these two sexy FBI agents searching for their long-lost son while running around in the woods with their flashlights, solving bat-crap crazy theories, and searching for monsters. 

Ain’t no moron CC will take that away from me with 30seconds of nonsense lies…I really think we will get more MSR in this 10 episodes than we’ve ever gotten. Yepp, I said that. Also, CSM who?*
