I feel like Paley lost its meaning and I can’t go back there which bums me out. But what a beautiful moment in time it was. I miss « WTF is magnetite?! » and « That was in my trailer! (endless giggles) » most of all.

There is so much to enjoy about Paley, Anon. Here’s my highlight reel:

“I was comforting you *all the time*.”

Puppetry of the Penis

“I’ll show you later.”

Darin Morgan writes superior scripts.

“So proud of yourself…”

David being concerned about the continuity of his character, and also admitting that the mythology is so convoluted because it was improvised and Chris Carter never had an end game in mind.

Gillian picking David’s episode The Unnatural for one of her episodes to showcase because David directed it and because it was “very romantic”. (And his very sweet, very heartfelt declaration about her performance afterwards, and how off guard she was taken.)

“Oh, I think you’re adorable in that.”

“For me.” (Fuck, I’m always an emotional wreck at this part.)

Gillian calling David “Mulder”

Gillian is still critical of her script and her episode even years later.

“He has *lots* of one-night stands.”

David’s so jealous of Rodney Rowland and honestly…it gives me life.

Gillian drags David *so hard* for his uhm…romantic past. Go girl.

When she leans over to pull a hair away from his face and he just leans into it and lets her groom him mid-conversation.

LOL @ Gillian saying she felt “safe” in Chris Carter’s hands whenever he directed an episode, then two minutes later saying she felt him in every aspect of the show because he’s such a perfectionist. (Read: Controlfreak)

“I think I won.” “Okay. You won.”

David admitting to missing the show after S9 had wrapped and before they started filming IWTB. Gillian admitting that trying to get pregnant was her focus while filming.

David saying Mulder and Scully’s relationship doesn’t end. It doesn’t die. He’s such a romantic.

How was William conceived? “That was no miracle.”

“Yeah, well I know what I needed.”

Glen Morgan came up with the whole Mulder porn thing, and it is somehow not shocking that Glen Morgan was the one who gave us the S11 line about handcuffs.

David admitting that touching and gazing was pretty much all them just…being them.

David and Gillian admitting the US Weekly and Rolling Stone covers were some of their favorites.

Gillian thinking it would be just HILARIOUS to be a Scully-impersonating stripper Hank has sex with on Californication.

The PMP dance sequence and how David thinks Mulder taking Scully’s hand and asking her to dance is a good final image for Mulder and Scully.

The look Gillian gives David after that scene is finished. And the look he gives her in return.

Holy heck! Why can’t we have nice things! 😭
