I never did compare Monica and Mulder, though. Mulder was so serious about his beliefs, when Monica was so light-hearted. Mulder always thought the sky was falling every moment, but Monica was more positive about things. She was also another female for Scully to talk to, which was nice.

For me ha...I was never really a big fan of Monica. For me having Scully become the agent more open to extreme possibilities was an interesting development, whereas Monica just seemed like a straight-up replacement for Mulder, and on some level I could never really take her seriously.<br /><br />I'm sure it was partly because I resented the fact that the X-files best character was relegated to a secondary figure fretting about her pregnancy/baby for so much of the remainder of the series. Which wasn't really the fault of the Monica character.magrittenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-88953048385278661212017-05-14T18:42:00.519-04:002017-05-14T18:42:00.519-04:00Scully: “No... No! This is not happening! NOOOOOOO...Scully: “No... No! This is not happening! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!”<br /><br />Lines like that can be terrible if not well delivered. Luckily, Gillian Anderson is amazing and she turns it into a powerful moment.Lamounierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00225447169375363236noreply@blogger.com
