And Mulder-- after everything he's been through and worked for and all of that, to think that he just kind of gives up and lives happily ever after? I really want to believe (no pun intended) that he/they could do that, but I just don't think it's in their nature AT ALL. But at the same time, I have never even seen the 9th season so I'm not one to really talk but. I don't know. Hmmmmmm. On the one hand the ~theme~ of the 9th season was ~how the mytharc tears them apart~ (in a really stupid way) so I guess I can see how that developed into this we-aren't-alien-hunters-anymore thing but like... I don't know. I still have trouble buying that they've given up on something. Especially with the apocalypse imminent! I don't know. I am ALL FOR giving them a happy ending -- I always have been! -- but this didn't even feel like that? Scully was so SAD.
I keep thinking back to FtF, and how the overriding theme of that film was "If we quit, they win" as opposed to this "let's avoid the darkness!" stuff (although credit where credit is due: I loved Mulder's "Maybe the darkness finds us" line.) I... liked that so much better :(
But then this: After all the shit they've gone through, they've grown and changed and all they want is each other and nothing else matters? BECAUSE THAT MAKES SENSE TOO. I don't know. I'M SO TORN.
(GOD, I bet you they had conversations in bed about the first time they knew they were it-- THE THOUGHT OF THAT MAKES ME REALLY HAPPY.) AHHHHHHHH I LOVE THIS THOUGHT. IT'S NOT JUST FANON ANYMORE??? oh my god.
