His argument re: All Things is that they don't show Mulder and Scully falling asleep or waking up together - they show Scully asleep on the couch and Mulder asleep on the bed, so they were faking us out in the first part of the episode - nothing actually happened.
But at the beginning, in the teaser, she's putting her clothes back on... She's at Mulder's house, and she's putting her clothes on. So yeah, she started out sleeping on the couch, but at some point she got up and took off her clothes. So...why was that, if it wasn't for sex? Don't get me wrong. I'm more than willing to buy this theory, but at the same time, if I'm watching the episode, I can't ignore what I see. The interesting thing to me is that she doesn't look blissed out which you would think she might, if only because she'd had a profound religious experience. She doesn't even look happy.
Personally, I think they had probably had sex a few times over the years, but it never turned into a regular, conventional, romantic relationship, because that's just not who they are.
He hasn't seen IWTB yet, and I'm not sure he ever will. If he does, I bet he'll just block it out too. Hey, no shame - it isn't part of my headcanon either...
I'm sympathetic to this. And it works very well for this story.
Some days, I prefer to ignore everything that happened after season five. Some days, I can't make it past season one.
