It’s on the video, Mulder. I can’t prove it was you, but I know what I saw. This man is a murderer. He is a terrorist. I have a report to give this morning. I expect you to give me an answer. I expect you to tell me the truth.

would you ever write your own tv show? i think you would be really good at it!!
I feel like I’ve given you no evidence for this, but thank you! after college I really thought I wanted to give tv writing a try (I wrote a new girl spec script where they had to watch a neighbor’s cat in the era before winston got ferguson… I was a prophet) but I found a job in a different unstable writing industry first, and I used up all my broke and married to the job energy on journalism. and now I just want to live in the mountains, which I do
okay here's an x-files argument. it's fair to say mulder is always right, because that's the way the writers talked about it. (source: frank spotnitz gave a talk at my office in 2015 and said the writers realized early on that mulder always had to be right and scully had to be wrong because the alternative was too depressing.) it was a guiding principle of the show. sure you could "well actually" every declarative statement about the x-files to the point where it's impossible to see the big picture, but then you're losing the way the contradictions bump into the big picture and make the show feel alive. it's the spirit of the thing. people aren't reading brian phillips' "in the dark" enough anymore
