X files movie marathon: 1 season to go

Empedocles
Pretty neat idea of evil jumping bodies.
Eversmiling Reyes stops smiling when she tastes the gum she's trying out to help her quit smoking.
Scully waiting for the pizza man to jump into the shower. Funny conversation apart from the we just work together part...I suppose he's just joking as they don't really work together anymore.
Makes me wonder though, does Scully eat pizza in the shower if she wasn't planning on anything with the pizza man himself?
Very nice scene where they both look really relaxed and enjoying eachother's company, untill Scully's rushed of to the hospital that is. Still wondering how Doggett got to the hospital before Mulder and Scully.
I'm pretty sure Scully was expecting Mulder when she woke up in the hospital instead of Doggett.
Mulder doesn't believe Reyes (that's a first, Mulder not believing). That little look/move he made with his head after Reyes asked him whether that was why he didn't want to help Doggett was hilarious.
Why does Mulder ask Scully if she's awake, he's always waited by her bedside if she was asleep.
Oh and the look on Mulder's face when he touches Scully's belly, pure wonder and happiness.
Jeb Larold Dukes, and I thought Knowle Rohrer was a strange name.
Doggett is spending way too much time sneaking up to Scully's bedside. Even to Mulder's liking. Just look at Mulder's stance after he leads Doggett out of Scully's room, arms crossed, legs spread, right in front of Scully's door.
What hospital were they in anyway, cause that doctor sure gave up on Jeb real quick.
I think I missed most of the story with all the shippy parts, but I'm beyond caring, Mulder and Scully looked way too happy this episode.


Vienen
The black oil is back.
Scully doesn't seem too happy to see Mulder in the office.
Doggett proves to Mulder he's read the x-files, but Mulder still doesn't trust him (or is he just jealous).
Just how dumb is Mulder in thinking Kersh would send out Scully to an oil rig?
And how do you "accidently" find something in someone's brain Scully? Skinner's reaction when the black oil flowed out of the corpse was once again adorable. He really is putty when it comes to Scully's wellbeing.
Sully scolds Mulder for not following orders while she did an unauthorised authopsy herself was pretty funny. And Mulder once again implies Scully's baby is his.
Mulder takes the blame for what happened and is basically handing over the X-Files to Doggett. Of course the fact that he's out of th FBI might have something to do with it too.


Alone
While Scully is packing to go on maternity leave, she finds the two coins from Dreamland and Queequeg 's nametag. Scully hugs Doggett, but she looks a bit uncomfortable doing that.
Doggett is actually wearing a glove to touch the goo, did they change the guidelines after Mulder got kicked out of the FBI?
Mulder takes Scully to a lamaze class and admits to watching a lot of Oprah. He looks a bit jealous of Doggett getting Scully's attention. And he really isn't happy to find Scully doing an autopsy.
While Mulder is impersonating Kersh, Doggett is stuck in a tunnel with a rookie accountant, both blind as a bat.
Mulder and Scully end up giving the Apollo keychain to agent Harrison.
I think the writers have been reading to many X-phile forums for the end. It was pretty funny to to see Mulder and Scully arguing like an old married couple on whether or not it was a spaceship in Antarctica.


Essence
Scully's mother is finally back, helping out with the baby shower and hiring help for Scully. Help which isn't all that helpful, changing Scully's pills.
So why exactly does Scully need help from Lizzy? Isn't Mulder unemployed with a lot of time on his hands? Of course he's not that good at doing general household tasks (or even plumbing) looking at his apartment.
Mulder is up to his old tricks again, breaking and entering...and getting caught.
Billy Miles is back cutting of people's heads with his bare hands (what happened to the alien baby dr Lev was holding before he lost his head?).
I think it's a bit weird Doggett decides to call Mulder "Fox". At least he doesn't make Fox sound as annoying as Mulder. Unfortunately he switched back to Mulder rather quickly.
Judging by Mulder's reaction it's a good thing Scully only works on dead people. Although, this is the first time I've seen him complain.
Why does Scully refuse to tell who the baby's father is, especially after all the problems with the pregnancy?
Mulder finally admits Scully is more important than the X-files and wants to take her away to a safe place. Good thing Scully's apartment building has more than one exit.
I'm not quite clear on why Mulder suddenly trusts Krycek with Scully's life, but at least he got the job done.


Existence
Billy Miles who was crushed in a garbage truck doesn't seem to be all that dead after all.
Meanwhile, Reyes and Scully are on a roadtrip, with Scully once again sleeping. Wish I could sleep like that.
Reyes follows her "feelings" again and apparently the gum didn't work, though you can't really blame her for smoking considering she's being chased by supersoldiers and is about to deliver a baby in the middle of nowhere.
Knowle Rohrer tells Doggett the chip is what made Scully pregnant, that's the first thing I've heard on the X-files for a long time that actually makes some sense.
Skinman gets wacked on the head by a supersoldier. Even Krycek looked a bit upset when that arm went through the elevator door.
Reyes making things homey, she more than welcome to come by my place sometime.
Reyes impersonating a whale is hilarious (reminded me of Finding Nemo) and it reminded Scully of Melissa.
With a windscreen that dirty it's a surprise that ranger or whatever she was managed to stop in time without running over Reyes.
You know Reyes, telling a pregnant woman in the middle of nowhere you get the feeling something's off is not a very reassuring thing to say.
Considering the situation I thought it was a bit weird that Scully still calls her agent Reyes.
Why would there be a supersoldier posing as a ranger in the middle of nowhere? Either the world is overcrowded with supersoldiers or they have telepathic abilities, otherwise it just doesn't make any sense (even for the X-Files).
Agent Crane, Knowle Rohrer and Krycek are in it together. Krycek threatens to shoot Mulder again, you'd think by now he'd know better to just pull the trigger instead of babbling away.
At least Skinner got to have some fun with Krycek this way. Mulder actually looked a bit surprised that Skinner shot Krycek.
Must be slightly disturbing when you're about to have a baby and someone starts throwing boiling water at people. Why does the ranger say this baby will be born? That's the big idea isn't it?
Supersoldiers aren't superfriendly to eachother, the way Knowle ran over Crane.
The whole Mulder and Gunmen/3 wise men bearing gifts conversation got a bit annoying after the 5th time, after which I got pretty good at rewinding it right up to the moment where Mulder enters Scully's bedroom. Obsessed? Who? Me? Noooooo?
Still think they should've quit after that ending. Or just written season 9 without Mulder and Scully in it (I can't believe I actually wrote that). Seriously, they deserve to finally be happy and then 1013 ruins everything with supersoldiers and more human than human babies...
