Loooove your wrap up, girls!
I’d like to point out that Shelley made a perfect analysis of the Chris Carter/Scully relationship. There's even a 20th-anniversary panel featuring all the writers, Carter, Gillian, and David (highly recommend watching it later, and if you want to record reactions to it, that would be amazing, lol). During the panel, a question was asked about the impact of a female character in a sci-fi show to which he responded:
"Scully is kind of my fantasy woman. She is strong and smart and opinionated and resourceful, tough, all these things I, you know, like. And it was kind of a fantasy relationship as well, more intellectual than anything else."
And that´s why we are always suffering as shippers lol
Can´t wait for the next movie and revival reactions!
Happy Holidays, everyone! 🎄✨

Yup, this is accurate, and IMO it would have been interesting for sure if she had become a returning character.

I wish I could feel the same way. Unfortunately I tried my best to like it, and I mean, really, really tried. I won't post more detailed information until after their reactions have aired, since I basically wrote a thesis (lol) years ago on the revival and why I experienced it the way I did. I'm very glad you were able to enjoy it though, and the same for everyone else who enjoyed it.

I absolutely agree with you. Some things I embrace, and others I simply pretend never existed.

From some the reports I've read it seems that they had big plans for Lucy Lawless character for S9 and they had to quickly scrap some of those plans when she got pregnant. So it would have been interesting to see where her plot would have gone had sill been on the show.

Very nice wrap up, really enjoyed it. And I just realized how long you 2 are doing these reactions now. Looking forward to your reactions to the 2nd movie, season 10, season 11 and the LGM spinoff. I think you were the first who reacted to the show on Youtube (since then many others started to react to it), and it's crazy how far we came, and that we're still not finished yet. 🥰 Wishing you 2 and all the other patreons nice holidays.

I liked the revival too, for certain things. I just ignored the things I didn't like about it. But at the end of they day I'm glad about that they gave us something. 🤷🏽♂️

For the record: I liked the revival seasons. Were there parts I didn't like? Sure. But I'm always happy to revisit the world of The X-Files and check in on Mulder and Scully again.

Very enjoyable! Thank you for covering my questions, too. I can understand and relate to almost everything you have pointed out. Shelley's answer to one of my questions was extremely insightful, so I'm pretty sure I know what I'll be expecting from you once you get to the revival. Anyway, basically the "US version" of my name is "Damien", but most people pronounced it just like you did, when I lived in the States, lol. :D This was a very thorough and enjoyable wrap-up. You have put a lot of time, work and energy into it. Happy Holidays and a great year 2025 to both of you. Greetings from Germany.
