just putting this entire scene out there so it can live on forever thank u
Still don’t like it.
For 17 years people were telling Scully that William was not her and Mulder’s son. They never believed them because they believed above all else that THEY CREATED A MIRACLE. Why now do they so easily believe that he was an experiment baby? It’s such bad story-telling, I can’t even.
So it’s been suggested that because of her psychic connection to William, Scully knows he’s still alive. Anne Simon tweeted that she’s sure of this (probably also talked to Chris Carter) and I believe Chris Carter said so, too. If that’s the case, it’s not at all apparent here, and that’s what matters! Had less time been spent running and driving around, more time could’ve been used to make that clear, to process the revelation of how William came to be and how much the revelation hurts, and to make clear that William had simply disappeared on them again. I’m okay with the idea of Scully respecting William’s wishes to be left alone for now. But what I see instead is Scully thinking William is dead and being okay with it. William is dehumanized from being Scully’s flesh and blood and the son she loves to an experiment she incubated who never should’ve been born. Her reaction also doesn’t make sense in terms of what just happened minutes before. Even after learning the truth about William, Scully chased after him, wanted to protect him, and had a conversation where William acknowledged that she loved him. It’s too bad, because the rest of the scene is so well acted and moving.
I was hoping I’d wake up with a bit more clarity about this episode. But alas, I’m still just sad, confused, angry & wishing it didn’t exist.
12+ hours out & I’ve had some time to digest this.
I can live with the pregnancy storyline (though it’s absurd & a copout). I can live with the demise of Monica & Skinner (though it makes me sad). And I can live with William being CSM’s son (though it disgusts me). But I CANNOT get past that Scully would dismiss her son so easily. It ranks up there with the William episode - Scully would not believe she couldn’t protect her son & give him up without a fight. It’s so out of character, and so inane.
And what frustrates me even more than it being out of character is that it tarnishes some really good moments in previous episodes. I’m going to have a hard time watching the closing scene in Existence without thinking “he’s not really a miracle”. Or watch Home Again & listen to Scully express her fear that she doesn’t want to treat her son like trash, when that’s exactly what she did here. Or watch Plus One and not think that the whole conversation in bed was just a plot device to get us to this ending. Or watch all of Ghouli without thinking this love for William doesn’t matter because once the truth is revealed, he’s no longer a relevant part of their lives.
I’m disappointed & sad that Scully’s (and by extension, Gillian’s) last scene was written with such insensitivity & stupidity. It’s not honoring the beloved character, or the brilliant actress.
This might sound dumb, but does Scully think William is gone as in “ran off” or gone as in “dead”? Because I assumed she thought he was dead. Which is why her reaction stunned me. Because if I knew that Scully knew he was alive and was asking Mulder to honor William’s request to be left alone, I could accept her reaction much more. But I cannot accept that Scully would otherwise be able to get over his death so quickly regardless of who his father was or who raised him. Because she carried him, bore him, nursed him, took care of him for a year, and then agonized for 18 years over losing him. There’s no way she was suddenly like, “I was never his mother”. She would be grieving in a different way than what we saw. Something I did like, though, was the role reversal with Mulder as the grieving parent. That he saw a large part of his identity as a father. I don’t think I’ve ever heard a male character say something like, “What am I if I am not a father?” This is usually something written for women to say. So I like that the sexist stereotype was broken. And I’m happy Mulder and Scully will have another child. With a shorter car chase, maybe we could’ve gotten more from Scully clarifying that she was actually heartbroken or knew he was going to okay.
Royal Baby News
Congratulations to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on the birth of the baby boy. William and Kate’s baby was born Monday 22nd July at 16:24 and weighs 8lbs 6oz.
No news yet of the name of the baby, through history it has been weeks to months before the name has been revealed but a couple of statements have been made; first the offical royal statement that Katherine and the baby are healthy and doing fine and the second statement came from the doctor who delivered the royal baby - “Wonderful baby, beautiful baby”.
The new member to the royal family is now third in line to the throne, which has created an historic moment for our monarchy.
Congratulations!

Called the Flip, it’s an interesting mixture of SLS Gullwing, Maybach and G-Wagen, and grafts the face of the latter on the donor car’s front end. Smoked out rear lights and suicide doors also feature on the one-off project.
