Étiquette : gillian anderson

1) Some people say that they support Gillian no matter who she is dating. They obviously misunderstood the word support. Unless it means you do and like and reblog some ugly manips with the man she never said a word about. The man with him she looks like she doesn’t feel comfortable with and we know how she behaves around her friends. Do they really think they are doing Gillian favor by « supporting » her openly with the man she can be linked only by professional arrangements?

2) And what is the most disturbing, those people are saying that shipping her with David is disrespectful and wrong. But gillovny fans at least have been encouraged by Gillian. No matter what ppl believe, she was joking or not, she didn’t mind. About PM she still said nothing, she didn’t give them any reasons to ship her with him. And not to mention, if you are really Gillian’s fan and care for her, this is really disturbing that you wish for her that kind of man. He is horrible in any way.

That’s my number 1 issue with this ship. If she’s dating him (and I don’t think she is), then, fine. But as long as it’s not confirmed, shipping her with PM isn’t less disrespectful than shipping with David. We have a long list of tweets and interviews and panels and t-shirts proving she doesn’t mind the Gillovny ship, even plays with it. For now, I have no idea what she thinks about people shipping her with anyone else. 

One says “when in doubt, leave it out,” right?

For your anon who was talking about Gillian only doing more X-Files for the money, do you remember that Grantland interview David did where he said, being honest, that part of the reason he was doing the show again was because of greed. I don’t think Gillian is worried about the money, I think she’s worried about how many episodes FOX want to do. Like you said, pretty much every job she takes involves a low-budget. Even with The Fall she would’ve made no more than 500K per series.

On David’s defense, he never said he did a new season because of greed. The exact quote from the interview is “

Apart from what he cheerfully describes as “pure greed,” this was part of why Duchovny thinks it’s worth another shot. “It was a great strength of the show,” he says. “The flexible frame. It could be comedy, it could be drama, it could be a thriller, it could be a horror movie, it could be a conspiracy movie, it could be a love story.” (x) And I think the “greed” part was actually referring to the original series. 

They both clearly made a nice amount of money with the revival. I don’t think it was their only motivation to do it, and I don’t think it’s their only motivation to do a season 11, but if it allows them to keep working on low-budget projects that they enjoy and care about, it’s a win-win situation for them and us as fans. They’re happy and rich, and we have more episodes. Let Fox give them all their money!
