Theres no fictional character worse than Scully

1997 was such a long time ago.

It still blows my mind that when most of us were born around 1980, we were closer to world war 2, than we are now from 1980 :eek:
 
Mulder is the worst. He constantly tries to make the evidence for whatever conclusion he has already drawn. And even if the conclusion is that aliens exist, and he comes to that conclusion by examining the evidence, he says shit like “This goes beyond what your science can grasp.”

No. Science isn’t just a list of facts you memorize. If you see fucking aliens do some shit, the scientific conclusion is aliens did some shit. It isn’t beyond science to come to a conclusion that involves aliens.
 
I started the X-Files two years ago and will not read this thread because you are trying to spoil the show before I finish 😤 So unacceptable !!!

I'm so jealous! I started it again recently, I'd love to watch it for the first shake again.
 
I just don't see Scully as a "bad" character at all, if your watching the X-files mostly for a hard sci fi story arc which makes a lot of sense then honestly your watching the wrong show.

The main appeal of that show was always the two leads, two great well rounded characters with loads of personality who could be put into endless different situations. You have to suspend disbelief even on a basic level of just how much stuff happens to them(they should be PTSD ridden physical wrecks the amount of times they've nearly been killed by various monsters) but if your able to do that I think theres a hell of a lot of very fun stand alone episodes.

Again I think thats something which is missing from a lot of modern sci fi shows, stuff like the X-files, TNG, Quantum Leap, etc were you had well written self contained stories over 45 mins which could cover a lot of ground in tone/style. Now its basically all long serial stories which are mostly deadly serious but IMHO often actually more juvenile.
 
I watched it when I was a little kid. I honestly don't remember the story except Scully was hot as hell. Friday was X files then Saturday was Xena.
 
People hated her because she was the buzz kill of the show. We were all trying to get our meth dealer villan arc on and in comes the not a 10, voice of reason nagging wife. Gtfo of here we are trying to get wild!
She brought balance to the force

Also, she had to play that part in order for the X files to stay in existence. If the both claimed alien they would shut down the department. So she knows she has to continually play that role in an official capacity whether she believes it or not.
