That was unexpectedly charming. Lots of love for the ghosts at the end.
The Alan Smithee gravestone at the beginning is a nice touch.
So I hear that Garry Shandling and David have been friends since forever. I need to go dig up the episodes of The Larry Sanders Show that David is on. (I used to watch It's Garry Shandling's Show as a kid just because I loved the theme song. I was a weird kid.)
Initially I thought not!Scully was Gillian's double, BUT NO it's Téa Leoni. I want to say "so how'd that work out for you?" but even with a separation or two they still had a longer relationship than most of Hollywood. Hell, than most of the US, really.
Oh god their faces. OH GOD SKINNER'S FACE.
I KNEW I knew Yulin Harris' name--he's the irascible judge from Ghostbusters II!
Why do I know Wayne Federman's name? Has he been on Nerdist? Silence of the Lambs, cute. Second time in a handful of episodes "Have I pissed you off?"
Snrk, Scully played the "you're older than me" card.
The animated skeleton! The music!!
Ha ha "wacky nun."
From a healthcare safety perspective, cutting yourself with a bloody scalpel is a BIG FUCKING DEAL.
Aw, love for Plan 9. Scully doesn't understand fannishness.
"Crazy people can be very persuasive."
"Well, yes, I know THAT." <3 Scully.
(Oh hey LA.)
So they're on probation vacation but pretty much dressed for work anyway?
TO THE LEFT. ...mostly.
Why are Mulder's bubbles moving so much?
Ah, the credit card. Scully's awfully giggly.
Again, their faces; and a touch of "too close to the truth" for Mulder?
I have three favored fics that spin off from this one:
The Durability-Tested Bathroom Stall of the Darryl Zanuck TheaterSocially Inept There's also one I can't put my hand to at the moment that's about M&S renting a car and being driven around to no real purpose. It's from the driver's POV. Afterward Skinner and his date the get the car.
