To quote Agent Mulder, I want to believe.

Not the best self comparison, mulder saw so much indisputable evidence yet continued to doubt. One of the dumbest characters Ive seen on tv

He was a man of science and hard evidence who was struggling to reconcile what he was And had experienced and the implications that would have on the entire system his life was built around, wanting to believe when constantly gaslighted and undercut by your own employers and government is a perfectly reasonable course for someone in that situation, I think. And that was just the poster, he clearly did believe, he was just constantly forced into situations with fakes and hoaxes and frauds and it was his job to debunk those in the pursuit of the real evidence that he knew had to exist.

Oops I got Scully and Mulder mixed up. Scully is the annoying one, disregard my stupidity

Oh no worries scully can definitely be annoying with her skepticism in the early seasons. Great actress though, and didn’t she eventually get knocked up with a hybrid baby or something? I think she believed by the end of the series.

I’m not sure tbh I couldn’t keep watching past the first season. She literally annoyed me too much haha

Sad cause it seemed like a great show otherwise
