Rewatch Extra: 3x17 Pusher

The grocery store's name is “Mt. Foodmore.” For some reason, thinking about this name for too long this morning made me start singing a song about it set to the tune of "On Top of Old Smokey." I cannot explain the mysteries of my gray matter.

Modell hums along with the Muzak. I also sing along when I’m shopping by myself. Probably because I, too, ( Read more... )

Mulder doesn’t take his eyes off of her when he says “Let’s get this show on the road.” Their eyes, you guys. The way they LOOK at each other and really, really see. It punches me in the gut.
Me too. And you KNOW how I feel about David's eyes. SO expressive, my God. All you have to do is look at him for a second, and you KNOW he's not seeing anyone else. (The only thing that is disconcerting about this? He's always focused, so being on the receiving end is intimidating as hell.)

He’s extraordinarily cute in his undershirt and bulletproof vest.
Word. I could watch him walk purposefully around that hospital all damn day.

The acting, directing, editing, writing... everything about the roulette scene is TOP. NOTCH. I don't even know. I love Vince forever and a day for fighting FOX tooth and nail to get it on the air. (And I have yet to see another show that did it since do it so masterfully.) Mulder's voice is literally shaking with rage, but he's looking at Scully, because he can't look anywhere else: "I'm going to kill you, Modell." GAH. And then of course, "Scully, RUN! Scully..." *dies*

He almost shot her, but here she is, alive. Damn.
That's why it kills me that they put him through this again, not necessarily worse (because he didn't do it), but still sort of the same, in Kitsunegari. It's like, GODDAMN, this man has enough of a guilt complex without your help!

Scully initiating the hand hold is such a rare, precious thing. And they're just standing there, squeezing each other's fingers, and I die. DIE.

I KNOW. And it's so necessary and she knows it and she doesn't even hesitate.
