The Characters The Files To ship or not to ship... The Movie Fight The Future-a shipper's analysis Quotes from the movie Pictures
The End

I'm completely nuts about the X-Files. On this page I will try to tell you what it's about and why I like it so much. I'll also put a number of pics on here, so it may take a while to download. Welcome to the world of the FBI!!!

The Characters

name: Fox William Mulder

nickname: Spooky Mulder

date of birth: 10/13/61

place of birth: Chilmark, MA

family: son of William Mulder (deceased), mother's name unknown; sister Samantha Ann Mulder (abducted at age 10)

rank: special agent, department head of the X-Files

residence: street name unknown, appartment #42

phone number: 555-9355

e-mail:f_mulder@fbi.gov

distinguishing features: mole on right cheek

motivation: When Mulder was 9 years old, his sisters was abducted by, what he believes were, aliens. Even today today he believes, that he should have done something that night. This event is also the reason for his conviction, that E.B.E.s (Extraterrestrial Biological Entities) do exist. He is willing to do and sacrifice anything to get his sister, Samantha, back.

name: Dana Katherine Scully

nickname: Starbuck

date of birth: 02/23/64

place of birth: unknown

family: daughter of Capt. William Scully (deceased) and Margaret Scully; siblings: William Scully Jr., Melissa Scully (deceased),Charles Scully

rank: special agent, qualified pathologist

residence: 3170 W., 53rd Rd., #35

phone number: 555-6431

e-mail: d_scully@fbi.gov

distinguishing features: Oerboros tattoo on lower left back

purpose: Scully was originally assigned to agent Mulder to debunk his work, as the department was getting suspicious of Mulder's unusual findings. But Scully, who wants to have a rational, scientific explanation for everything, could not just dismiss Mulder's work as unfounded. She still works with him, but as a partner, rather than a supervisor. She keeps Mulder on his feet and is a vital help to him with her medical expertise.

The Files

There have been five seasons of this award-winning show, the sixth has started and the seventh is being filmed. Now for every season, there are around 24 episodes. If I were to right down what happened in all of these episodes...well, let's just say. it would take me a very long time. This isn't supposed to be a detailed XF page anyways.The best place to go, is to the official X-Files website, where you will find a detailed account of every episode, including pictures and videos.

My favourite episode to date is `Small Potatoes'. It's about a guy, who was born with a tail (which he had surgically removed) and had the ability to change into any person he wanted to. This resulted in a lot of babies with tails! Mulder and Scully were investigating the case and, to cut a long story short, the guy changed into Mulder. Scully of course did not know this, so when `Mulder' visited her at night, they talked for a very long time and Scully got a little drunk. Then, suddenly, the fake Mulder leaned over ready to kiss Scully (who wasn't exactly screaming and saying no either!!), but he never did, because the real Mulder came in at that precise moment...That episode is extremely funny, because the `tail-guy' as Mulder finds out what a `looser' the special agent is. David Duchovny is sooo hilarious in this!

To ship or not to ship...

...that is the question! Now you may ask yourself, what the %&$#** is she talking about. Well I shall explain: X-Philes (=XF fans) can be neatly devided into two categories. There are the `Noromos' and the `Shippers'. Noromos are stricktly against Mulder and Scully getting together in any way, because they're afraid, the show will turn into a disgusting lovey-dovey sort of thing. The Shippers (short for Relationshippers) spend their time analysing every word M and S say to each other and every gesture they make, for this group of people want our two heros to get together, like...now! Now I have to admit, I'm a shipper and if you're not, well then that's just too bad!

There are so many little things that make Mulder and Scully ideal for each other! At least once every few episodes Scully is in a dangerous situation and Mulder never thinks twice about risking his life to safe her. In the season four episode `Memento Mori', when Scully is diagnosed as having cancer, she writes a diary to Mulder which is extremely touching. And in the end of episode the two of them meet in the corridor of the hospital and...they hug and Mulder kisses her forehead!!! (This is the kind of thing Shippers get excited about...)

The Movie

The long awaited movie based on the award winning TV show has arrived. This time Mulder and Scully have to face their greatest enemy yet...the future... Alien colonist invaded the earth long before the dinosaurs lived and they're planning to use us humans as hosts. They come in form of a virus, which first goes into your blood stream and then grows inside you, resulting in a slow and painful death...

I'm not gonna tell you the whole story, you're gonna have to see it! The only thing I can say is, that's it's action packed and for philes a lot questions posed in the show are being answered. It may also be worth buying the book, as some important scenes (i.e.where is Mulder's sister?) have been cut out.

The movie was heaven for Shippers! Mulder and Scully got as close as they have never been before...

Fight the future - a shipper's analysis

Nice heading ,huh? Well I could have also called it

The question that has baffled Shippers around the globe for years. Well, I don't have the answer, but I do like writing about the`bee scene' in the movie. Obviously the best part of the movie! Closely followed by the scene, where Mulder gives Scully mouth to mouth rescucitation in the spaceship...

Careful, this includes spoilers!!!

Mulder is in his apartment, when Scully walks in and tells him, that she has been transfered to Salt Lake City, but will quit the FBI . She is close to tears... Mulder doesn't want her to leave, he says, that he needs her to help him with this case, `We're close to something here, we're on the verge!' But Scully dismisses him and tells him, that he has never needed her and that she has only kept him back...

Scully: `Why did they assign me to you in the first place, Mulder? To debunk your work, to rein you in, to shut you down.'

Mulder: `But you saved me! As difficult and frustrating as it's been sometimes, you goddamn strict rationalism and science have saved me a hundred, a thousand times over! You've kept me honest..you've made me a whole person. I owe you everything, Scully...and you owe me nothing...I don't know if I want to do this alone...I don't know if I can...and if I quit now, they win.'

Scully looks at Mulder, overcome with emotion, and in shock as his honesty flows out. Silently tears roll down her face. She walks towards him and they fall into each other's arms. Scully then looks into Mulder's eyes and gently, while holding his head (see picture above) she stands on her toes to kiss him on the forehead. He looks into her eyes, and very slowly, he moves towards her for THE KISS...

But then... Scully pulls back and says`Ow' (!!!). It seems, she has been stung by a bee. But not any bee, no! This bee is carrying the before mentioned alien virus. Scully feels weak and collapses into Mulder's arms. Mulder very gently lowers her to the floor, then he runs back to his appartment and dials 911: `This is special agent Fox Mulder. This is an emergency. I have an agent down!'

By the way there is a website, that is dedicated entirely to that bee. It might be worth checking out!

Another nice Scully/Mulder moment happened at the end of the movie. Mulder sits on a bench in a park outside of J. Edgar Hoover's FBI headquarters. He looks exhausted and holds a newspaper in his hand, he's staring at a small headline: `Local Hanta Virus Outbreak in Northern Texas Contained'. Scully arrives and he hands her the newspaper.

Mulder: There's an interesting work of fiction on page 24, interestingly our names have been omitted. They're burying this thing, Scully. They're just going to dig a new hole and cover it up.

Scully: I told OPR everything I know. What I experienced, the virus, how it's spread by the bees from pollen in transgenic crops.

Mulder: You're wasting your time, Scully. They'll never believe you, not unless your story can be programmed, categorized or easily referenced.

Scully: Well, then we'll go over their heads.

Mulder: No. No. How many times have we been here before, Scully? Right here. So close to the truth and now with what we've seen and what we know to be right back at the beginning with nothing.

Scully: This is different, Mulder.

Mulder: No it isn't! You were right to want to quit. You were right to want to leave me! You should get as far away from me as you can. I'm not going to watch you die, Scully, because of some hollow personal cause of mine. Go be a doctor. Go be a doctor while you still can.

Scully: I can't. I won't. Mulder; I'll be a doctor, but my work is here with you now. That virus that I was exposed to, whatever it is, it has a cure. You held it in your hand. How many other lives can we save? Look...if I quit now, they win...

And then they hold hands and walk away into the sunset..sort of! It's just so cute!!!

Quotes from the movie

In case you still haven't had enough, here are a few more quotes from Fight The Future.

`If we fail to anticipate the unforeseen or expect the unexpected in a universe of infinite possibilities, we find ourselves at the mercy of anyone or anything that cannot be programmed, categorized or easily referenced.'(Mulder)

'What do you say we call in a bomb threat for Houston, I think it's free beer night at the Astrodome.'(Mulder)

'Don't think! Just pick up the phone and make it happen!!!'(Scully)

'You're not FBI agents. you look like door-to-door salesmen.'(Jason)

'When war is futile, victory consists of merely staying alive. Survival is the ultimate ideology.'(The Well-Manicured Man)

'He is but one man. One man alone cannot fight the future'(Strughold)

'What do I do? I'm a key figure in an ongoing government charade. An annoyance to my superiors, a joke among my peers. They call me `Spooky'. Spooky Mulder...whose sister was abducted by aliens when he was a kid. Who know chases little green men with a badge and a gun, shouting to the heavens and anyone else who'll listen that the fix is in. That our government is hip to the truth and a part of the conspiracy. That the sky is falling and when it hits it's gonna be the shitiest blast of all time.'(Mulder)
