I've always thought they sort of thought that the patch-up moment is "Wetwired", but it's absolutely an extenuating circumstances sort of thing and then he ditches her the next episode, which is really just leaving them open to exacerbate each other at the next possible opportunity.
Heh, yeah, Mulder and his ditching. He never really learns, does he? But we love him anyway. It's funny, with the myriad of episodes in S3 that I love, where they work well together ("Clyde Bruckman," "Jose Chung" -- to an extent -- "Oubliette" and "PUSHER," OMG, and even "Quagmire"), there are also the great ones that show a lot of strain ("War of the Coprophages," no matter how hilarious it is, "Syzygy", etc.). Those times, they're almost at each other's throats, and you're like, "Wow, this has become slightly dysfunctional."
That episode makes me so sad and... I don't even know at the same time. Well done but SO SAD.
Yeah, I feel you on that. I mean, it's definitely a great episode, and even has its very funny moments (Mulder saying "moose and squirrel!", Mulder dancing around trying to get cell phone reception, MULDER IN GRACELAND), there's all the extremely anxiety-inducing, creepy stuff with Ed Jerse, and all the tension between the better moose and squirrel, of course. I still can't believe how effective that ending line is, despite (or maybe because of) the fact that it's cut of: "Yes, but it's m--" GAH.
Yes, I absolutely know what you mean. My fandom project to-do list is nearly as long, and xf-caps.com is for the great good of the many! If you ever do get time, I guess!
Oh, I will have time -- xf-caps.com is #1 on my priority list right now. I own the full series, I have all the software I need, and I've already capped several episodes and am working on more. The bigger problems are more like, "Gah, I don't know anything about Dreamhost!" and "Ack, I know nothing about using Coppermine!" You know, basically, I'm a website-idiot. Whee! This bodes SO WELL.
