Alright, so in re-watching The X Files I've been trying to not view Mulder and Scully as a couple because I really wanted them to get together when I first watched it, but then in the 2nd movie I felt like there was kind of an issue with them being a couple. Idk I feel like they're still to vague about it.
And here is my theory and it might be kind of a bummer... but basically I think they kind of have to be together because they can't actually be with anyone else. I don't think there is anyone else they will trust more than each other and I think there is no one else they will love more than each other and they can't be apart... so they need to be together. I feel like its very loving and beautiful that way... but also rather unromantic because they're more or less stuck with each other and I think... there's something to that. Something to them just being together because they have to that I appreciate. A lot of people say that they don't like them as a couple... and I'm with that. I think most shows don't work together when the leads become a couple and I think a lot of the issues I have with the later seasons of the show have to do with Mulder and Scully as a couple... but they're both incredibly lonely. They have each other and they have The Truth... and thats about it. And its really quite sad and scary but also if they were to find someone else that they love and would be with... that would be even sadder because then they would be yoko-ing the band. If I were married to Mulder (omg dream world. I have a huge crush on Mulder lol) I wouldn't be okay with his incredibly close relationship with Scully or with the fact that I don't think he could ever fully trust me or love me the way that he loves Scully. So that would be sad. And I couldn't tell him to stay away from Scully, Its Scully! Of corse he loves Scully more and would chose her over anyone else.
Also I think they definitely hooked up early on in the series. I've mentioned this before, but I think after the episode 731 they hook up, but just once. That kind of explains their relationship in the next three episodes at least (which is where I'm up to right now. I just finished Syzygy.) In Revelations, Scully is at a loss because Mulder isn't on her side and she goes to Church because she can't turn to him. In the cockroach episode she's jealous of Dr. Bambi, who Mulder takes an interest in and then in Syzygy she's jealous of Detective White, who Mulder seems to be flirting with. It kind of makes sense to me that they hooked up and then she's angry. And I think that fits with the rest of their romantic moments in the series. In the movie they almost kiss, in season 6 Mulder tells Scully he loves her. I feel like it goes along well with everything.
And I'm not opposed if in the new Mini Series they drop all references to Mulder and Scully as a couple... or if they continue to have them as a couple. I'm kind of on board because of Darin Morgan writing the episode Mulder and Scully meet the Were-Monster and Kumail Nanjianni is in an episode. David Duchovny said that it made him cry and a bunch of people are back... so I'm not getting my hopes up because the second movie was just so bad... but I have hopes for this one. I have a feeling I'll at least like one episode.
So yeah, those are just my thoughts. If you're for them as a couple for different reasons, I understand that and if you don't want them to be a couple... I understand that too. There is no right or wrong answer here its Mulder and Scully. This is just where I stand on it all. Lol.
