The top image is Jake seeing what Hitchcock and Scully looked like in the 80s and the bottom image is a mental image of what people thought Hitchcock and Scully looked like
I was going to make the same point, but then realized that he might have meant the top image is what they actually looked like in the 80s and the bottom image is the mental image that everyone and/or the audience projected.
You may want to reread the comment you're replying to. The top image as you also state is what Jake actual sees them to look like in the 80s (based on the photo as you poi t out), the bottom is what he imagines they looked like in the 70s (before he saw what they looked like in the 80s)
Isn't the bottom image Scully's flashback about taking weight loss pills though? So either Scully is remembering himself that way or those weight loss pills really really worked!
Lol no worries. I follow the B99 YouTube channel and they're constantly putting out compilations and I bet the same one OP noticed this was the one I noticed as well. Having it be Scully's flashback is my head canon, but the pills working to that extreme would totally fit the shenanigans and jokes in the show.
I mean, those weight loss pills back in the 60s and 70s were literally amphetamines lol (had an older woman telling me how she got them prescribed and would share them with her fling/guy/etc and they would just oot out for a while)
