HERRENVOLK:Skinner
is as worried about Mulder as Scully is when he shows up at the hospital
in shock.
UNRUHE:Is
Mulder sitting just a little too close to that technician?
HOME:"Would
you think less of me as a man...?" Who the heck talks like this?
TELIKO:a
Michael Jackson joke, other than that, not much, unless you're the kind
of person who thinks Fox is cute when he's paralyzed...
THE FIELD
WHERE I DIED: Mulder channels a Jewish woman-oi!and
cries; Scully is never his lover, in this life, or
any other-nuff
said.
SANGUINARIUM:Vanity,
thy name is Fox-no, you don't need a nosejob!
MUSINGS OF
A CIGARETTE SMOKING MAN: Fox calls Frohike
a little puppy, which is so cute, although
it might have
been funny to see, in between the scenes of CSM killing JFK and rigging
presidential elections, a scene where he finds out his illegitimate son
is gay...
PAPER HEARTS:More
bad dreams, more tears, and Skinner growling "I'll be the one to catch
up with him." And yet, even when Fox has done something incredibly stupid,
Skinner still supports him...This ep also marks the second appearance of
the dreaded pink t-shirt (the other one being Sleepless).
TUNGUSKA:From
the minute Alex gets out of the truck until the end of the episode, it's
all about homoerotic undertones. Personal favorite moment, and I've heard
this once before, Walter comin' down those stairs all surly and shirtless!
Check out the look on Mulder's face when he calls Alex "boy"! And what
about all the Russian horses, whips and chickenwire...
TERMA:I
think he would have liked to put his arms around Skinner when he got back,
too, both of them.
EL MUNDO GIRA:Skinner
sighs at the end of Mulder's report like it's something he hears not only
every day
at the office,
but every night when he gets home too!
KADDISH:Racism,
homophobia, tomato, tomahto...
NEVER AGAIN:
The whole graceland thing is not so much slashy
as just plain odd.
LEONARD BETTS:Mulder
teases Chuck, uses words like "Chi" and "aura", and looks sheepish alot.
MEMENTO MORI:Skinner:"You
can't ask the truth of a man who deals in lies I won't let you."
How possessive,
Walt. And
Mulder, to the gunmen: "Wear something black and sexy, and prepare to do
some fancy poaching."
Sexy?
UNREQUITED:Besides
Mulder's obvious concern for Skinner at the end "...it could have been
you...",
notice in
the background while Teager is doing his heroic death thing, Mulder seems
very concerned about
a wound that
Skinner has apparently gotten during the firefight.
TEMPUS FUGIT:no,
just a moment for poor Pendrell...Okay, Mulder's response to Scully asking
if her gift is an alien implant: "Two actually, I made em into earrings."
Also the oral fixation is in full force here.
MAX: Mulder
in rubber...oops. Skinner always seems just a little too concerned, if
you know what I mean...
SYNCHRONY:nope
SMALL POTATOES:"Scully,
should we be picking out china patterns, or what?" Pretty fey banter, if
you ask me. Love when
he apprehends
Eddie-okay, Fox, you can get your hand off my ass anytime now! And if Skinner
wasn't impressed with the report "Mulder" handed in, imagine what would
have happened if they'd had a date that night. (Sounds like a fun
story-any
takers?)
ZERO SUM:
I think we all took a stab at this one, but
really the two best bits are Fox showing up at 3 in
the morning,
and practically bursting into tears when he recognizes Skinner in the surveillance
photo. And God, don't
get me started
on Skinner's "Ricky Martin Cruising Ensemble"...
ELEGY:not
much, unless bowling counts...*L*
DEMONS:needy
naked Mulder in the tub, and neither he nor Scully make a big deal of it-just
like best
friends...and
you can read a billion things into those crazy flashbacks...
GETHSEMANE:and
the winner of the greatest tearing one's heart out weeping scene is...you
guessed it, our
boy Fox. Not
much else here, but just wait until Redux and Redux II!!
