30 DAY X-FILE CHALLENGE I Day 29: Favourite IWTB Moment
Scratchy Beard (Graphic is not of the actual moment, I just wanted to admire David Duchovny’s fake beard)
RANDOM X-FILE FACT OF THE DAY
It was David Duchovny’s idea to cast Mimi Rogers as Diana Fowley. They starred in The Rapture together in 1991. She should probably thank him or not for making her one of the most hated characters in television history.
No one cares about this bitch…but I tried.I actually think I am the ONLY one who cares about this woman, because if it weren’t for the love she actually had for Mulder at some point, he wouldn’t be alive. Sure, she joined the dark side and worked for CSM, but in the end, if she had never had a relationship with Mulder, if she had never actually loved him at some point, Mulder would not be alive right now. If it weren’t because she actually loved Fox Mulder, she would not have risked her own life to give Scully the key to save Mulder, which ended in her death.
I know people hate her because she was going to ‘ruin’ Mulder and Scully’s relationship…but they were not a couple, and yet Diana sensed at some point that Mulder had moved on from what they had in their relationship and realized the amount of respect and love he had for Scully, so thinking she was a threat is like doubting what Mulder and Scully were.
She was also, like Scully, a woman trying to make it in a man’s world, and she was a strong and smart one at that, even if her means were at some point evil, but she re validated herself in the end. Which is one of the reasons I think the writters made the names Diana and Dana so alike.
So Diana Fowley, I would like to be the first to actually say that I thank you, and your flawless strong character, for giving your life to help Mulder live, and for making this famous duos relationship stronger than it already was…
Tashira I fucking love her. I thought I was the only one and this is why I like you because you understand shit. I’m going to just leave your comment up there and admire it. Maybe I’ll frame it and rub it in someone’s face later.
RANDOM X-FILE FACT OF THE DAY
Contrary to Mulder David Duchovny is not an Elvis fan. Writer/Coexecutive Producer Glen Morgan purposely made this a Mulder quirk to annoy Duchovny.
Some of the episodes written by Morgan include Never Again, Home, Blood, and Shadows which all allude to Mulder’s love of The King.
