I am ashamed for not having posted before; just consider my excuses already given. I adore anything that Khyber writes/has written, simply because of his beautiful, incisive, witty tale-telling. I tend, as I've admitted, to admire the paragraphs and forget the plot--which is especially easy in the case of TWS, which is story-connective (minus connection) and wish-fulfilling, and KvsS7, which is unfinished. I doubt, though I hope, that it will be.
I think that both Wen and amyhit are taking this story, and many, a bit more serious than I do. I see Mulder and Scully having a marvelous honeymoon, despite their damn quest, and what honeymoon doesn't have its moments of painful ambivalence? Okay, lots. But there's the damn quest.
I think that Skinner, somewhat fixatd in his middle-ageness on the pretty redhead, is trying to find an active part in the story and vulnerable to sleeping with the enemy. CSM is an interesting enemy. WM Davis would die to play this part. I love the Hollywood epiphany, if that's the word for a night with a woman with glowing cleavage, and I love the brave twist on the characterization. Because, as you know or should, I love our characters behaving out-of-character.
I accused Khyber of wish-fulfillment, and I feel that he took a lot of pleasure in the manliness and sexiness of all concerned--except Scully, of course, and I'm sure she had a wonderful time too. She got over herself enough to grab the moment and I'm sure she'll forgive herself for her nonprofessionalism. Hey, it's not the government protocol, it's THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END, maybe. Focus.
I don't want to second-guess, but it might have been more satisfying to discuss Sokol, which has a beginning, middle, end, epilogues, and is sort of a crossover with HP Lovecraft (happy Halloween). KvsS7 consists of gorgeous fragments, but leaves us with frustrating nonresolution. I hate Khyber for that. But I love him for everything else.
