I never wanted this revival, and I don't hold out any hope that it will be decent, but I definitely agree that DD and GA no longer look the parts, and it drives me crazy.

Mainly because a lot of what's off about them could have easily been corrected, if the people in charge of hair and makeup (plus CC, who is presumably the one calling the shots) had actually made the effort. I mean, DD looks like he's playing himself rather than Mulder, at least in most of the promo shots where he's all scruffy. He should have been clean-shaven and in a nice suit like Mulder of the days of old. Plus, a good makeup person can do a LOT to lift the look of a person's face so it looks higher and tighter (as pretty much every successful female actor over the age of 40 will tell you) but it doesn't look like they've troubled themselves to do that with DD here.

Meanwhile, GA looks fantastic, and I wouldn't really mind that her face has slimmed down quit dramatically with age, if only they had gotten her HAIR RIGHT. Scully's iconic red bob is iconic for a reason. It was so distinctive and became so much a part of her character over the series' run, and it infuriates me that CC and Co. Apparently think it doesn't really matter. To my understanding she's wearing a wig throughout most of the new episodes, meaning that there was literally NOTHING to stop them from working on the wig until it was just right. Yet for some inexplicable reason they settled for this slightly flat, wavy, strawberry blonde thing? Whyyyyy?

I'm not sure I like what they did with Scully's wardrobe, either. It seems like they tried to update it to be more 2015-ish, but I find her look in the promos kind of nondescript. Like, I don't really see why they couldn't have stuck very close to her FTF/S5/S6/S7 look? Maybe slimmed the chunky heels on her pumps a tiny bit, and taken the shoulder pads down to a minimum, but that's about all they would've had to do.

Really, everything about GA and DD's look smacks of the people on the tech/production side of things going "Eh, whatever, we'll just phone it in and see how it goes."
