Oh, you wanna thunderdome? Okay then. Wait, I need a nap first.

Nope, sorry, I don't believe that season six Mulder and Scully are simply devoted, united colleagues who can offer a little body warmth when needed. This was the feverish height of shipperdom, and I admit to having been part of it. Yes, there was the cooperation and trust and mutual respect, all of which made the relationship meaningful. But you can't eliminate the sexual charge. It was there. Millions saw it. Carter knew he had to deal with it--badly, as we knew he would--but at this particular point there was no such thing as cuddling just for comfort. Maybe Mulder needed comfort. Fine: comfort sex, leading to embarrassment and confusion. Whatever. Just don't lie there like a couple of matched throw rugs and expect us to believe it.

You see that I am immovable on the subject. I think you invest a lot of (what?) idealism in the M/S relationship. Well, it was a groundbreaking concept and we all love GA for the dignity she gave her character. But the woman had hormones, as do the rest of us, and thank the Lord we have great fanficcers to resolve what the show left unresolved. This is a good story, but I believe it denies the obvious and resists the inevitable.

Yeah, and what about that question about M's father's house?

And what about that cutting board? (private communication) Just a few days left.

I adore Glenn Miller.
