The fandom focus on their relationship ticks me the fuck off. I get it. They had chemistry. Mulder and Scully were a big deal. But you know what else was a big deal? The X-Files. It was huge. It ushered in a new genre of television, a new era. It was groundbreaking. And in its wake, all anyone can yammer on about is MulderXScully. Sometimes I feel like one of a handful of people who watched it for the paranormal, and the supernatural and the aliens and the conspiracy. I love the two leads, but if the show had stayed spooky I would have watched Doggett and Reyes for seasons beyond nine. With Skinner in tow, of course.

I was a kid when it came out. I was too young to give a damn about sexual tension and will they-won't they. I was scared of the Fluke-man and wanted to know what the smoking man was all about, and what happened to Mulder's sister. I had to unfollow someone on Tumblr because they were watching it for the first time and REFUSED TO FINISH THE SHOW because there wasn't enough Mulder. They kept asking if it was safe to skip to the last two episodes. My god, people. Season nine isn't Shakespeare, but what the hell.

It's the X-Files. Not the Mulder and Scully Variety Hour. >:[

You can be love the paranormal plot shit and the relationship shit.

I'm quite obviously talking about people for which the relationship shit is all that matters? I myself like all facets of the show, but as someone who really came for the show in its entirety not the shipping alone, it is frustrating to be such a minority that there are people skipping episodes because they read there wasn't enough longing glances and implied UST to merit a watch. People who LOVE the second film [which is awful] simply because Mulder and Scully are two steps from married.

But thanks for the input. I had no idea.

Yeah, I don't get people who skip episodes like that. Or people who like the second movie.

Not really.. Sorry for the sarcasm on my part. I just thought that was an unnecessary comment. I at no point said you had to like one or the other in what I was saying, you know? I have a slight preference for the plot over the romance, but I don't outright reject it. I just hate that MulderXScully is all that matters. When fans are discussing the show nowadays [especially new fans] you'd think there was no plot. Or at least, nothing like aliens and ghosts and sewer monsters. Nothing actually seems to happen in any episode accept these two people who really like each other interact. That's it. No one discusses the show any more, and it's sad. There's a lot to talk about.

I just wish it were more balanced. I am sick of hearing about how mad everyone is that they didn't get to kiss in Fight the Future. We know. What did you think of the movie itself, fandom? Did you know.. stuff happened in it? :[

I watched every episode in real time and loved the plots and mytharc, but not gonna lie, the MSR-related stuff was the tasty, tasty sauce on the plate. When I rewatch, more UST and interaction does boost my enjoyment exponentially.

But I feel the OP and think the show did a poor job of realizing the relationship onscreen, and I hated the second movie.

The second movie felt like they both were so tired they couldn't be bothered, and we're hardly even there. It was awful. They had clearly moved on and should have left it alone.
