Étiquette : post modern prometheus

thegatw:

Hi Frank,

Another X-Files related question for you here (apologies if you’re getting fed up of answering these!). “Post-Modern Prometheus” is one of my favourite MOTW episodes and I would have sworn a year or so ago I saw a video on YouTube which showed Mulder and Scully kissing as they dance at the end (like in this ‘screencap‘). I haven’t been able to find the video since, but I have read that they were supposed to kiss but Chris thought it was too much and cut it from the episode. So I was wondering — did Mulder and Scully actually kiss at the end of the episode, and if so does that exist on film anywhere (preferably somewhere us Philes can watch it)?

Bethan, the kiss was not scripted, but David and Gillian wanted to do a take with a kiss, so it was filmed. I honestly don’t know whether 20th Television has saved all the unused footage from the television series.

According to Frank, the Post-Modern Kiss is legit.

Thank you @thegatw! The first one is the one my anon submitted to me. Unfortunately, they’re all manips, so the Holy Grail isn’t for today 🙂

Adding on to your « DD’s treasuring the moment » Anon’s observations: may I point you all to those innumerable unscripted kisses between our favourite duo. I have one such kiss off Season 5 « Post Modern Prometheus » dancing scene as my email desktop background ;) DD had once said that particular dancing scene was very emotional for him so.. I can safely conclude he’s an emotionally-sensitive guy. And of course GA being the love of his life.

Wait, I know this kiss exists, and there used to be a video of it somewhere, but it’s nowhere to be found anymore, and the picture you have might be a drawing. But if it’s not, give it to me!
