Hope it's ok to post this here! I'm waiting to post the whole thing in one go on my journal. But I want to share this one in particular right away =)
Day #1: Favorite Season
"I was drugged!" - Mulder, Bad Blood
I am going to wuss out, and say I have two favourite seasons. I adore both season five, and season six. In my mind, they almost merge into one season of glorious love (probably because I first watched them both in one glorious XF marathon).
There is a lot of great mytharc over these seasons, and it’s a great time for character development (Redux/II, The Red and the Black and Dreamland/II). Milargo is probably one of my favorite darker character eps. Also, The Pine Bluff Variant has some great Mulder/Scully tension.
But I really loved these season for the stand alone funny eps. At heart, though I follow the mytharc, I reall love XF for the funny. TPMP, Bad Blood, Dreamland/II, The Rain King. And of course, my hands down favourite ep Triangle. (God, I love Triangle). Almost all of my favourite episodes are in these two seasons.
So, without further ado, here is a pic spam of the glory of S5&6, and some of my favourite quotes:
Scully: Is there anything that you don't believe in, Mulder?
- TPMP
Scully: Skinner wants a report in one hour. What are you going to tell him?
Mulder: What do you mean what am I gonna tell him? I'm gonna tell him exactly what I saw. What are you gonna tell him?
Scully: I'll tell him exactly what I saw.
Mulder: Now, how is that different?
- Bad Blood
Mulder: What did you tell him?
Scully: The truth … as well as I understand it.
Mulder: Which is?
Scully: Folie a deux. A madness shared by two.
-Folie a deux
Mulder: I love you.
Scully: Oh, brother.
- Triangle
Scully: Don't you ever just want to stop? Get out of the damn car? Settle down and live something approaching a normal life?
Mulder: This is a normal life.
- Dreamland
Mulder: The rest of the world just fades away - all your everyday, nagging concerns […] How you threw away a promising career in medicine... hunt aliens with a crackpot, albeit brilliant, partner … Getting into the heart of a global conspiracy. Your obscenely overdue triple-X bill. Oh, I... I'm sorry, Scully. Those last two problems are mine, not yours.
