In X-Files news: OMG HOLLYWOOD A.D. You guys. .
I am notoriously bad at expressing my deep thoughts about episodes, but this one was just so GOOD. There's a little scene where Mulder's watching some alien or zombie movie and Scully just shows up at his place and joins him and it just seems like something they do all the time. It's a pretty insignificant little scene, but it's completely adorable. It just seemed to me that they developed a level of comfort with each other in s7 that we didn't see before. And I kind of loved this little exchange:
MULDER: You know, Scully, I was just thinking about Lazarus, Ed Wood, and those tofurkey-eating zombies. How come when people come back from the dead they always want to hurt the living?
SCULLY: Well, that's because people can't really come back from the dead, Mulder. I mean, ghosts and zombies are just projections of our own repressed cannibalistic and sexual fears and desires. They are who we fear that we are at heart-- just mindless automatons who can only kill and eat.
MULDER: Party pooper. Well, I got a new theory. I say that when zombies try to eat people, that's just the first stage. You see, they've just come back from being dead so they're going to do all the things they miss from when they were alive. So, first, they're going to eat, then they're going to drink, then they're going to dance and make love.
SCULLY: Oh, I see. So it's just that we never get to stay with them long enough to see the gentler side of the undead.
MULDER: Exactly.
AWWWWW. And then there's the whole fantastic scene with Mulder & Scully & Skinner in (separate) bathtubs. And of course Tea Leoni and Gary Shandling. LOL.
And on a related note: BEST ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS EVER. Seriously. Almost enough to make me reconsider my living in sin.
