It makes perfect sense, Mulder. Admit it. You fell for it. Your "Fortean Event" turned out to be nothing more than the oldest story in the world. Two men. One woman. Trouble.

All Eyes Lead to the Truth | Season Four Master Post

Season four is one of the most beloved seasons of The X-Files, and we had a lot of fun exploring the background characters that helped make it so special!

Check out this thread to see all the characters we got to meet this season!

Herrenvolk (4x01) | X

No one would remember him, and if they did, they would struggle to remember a name they were never told. The memory of his existence would remain occluded by the shadows he lived in.

Home (4x02) | Sheriff Andy Taylor

For protection, his father had said, as he pressed the unfamiliar cold metal into Taylor’s warm hand. To keep your family safe.

To keep your home safe.

He shuts the drawer. He isn’t ready for this reality, not now. Not yet.

Teliko (4x03) | Special Agent Sean Pendrell

With them, it was never something simple. It was a computer chip so fragile he could barely study it. It was a complex string of numbers and letters tracking a smallpox vaccination program for reasons he couldn’t even begin to fathom.

This was what he went to school for.

Unruhe (4x04) | Gerry Schnauz

Gerry knew she needed his help the moment they met. There was a howler inside of her head — a black mass invading her body and mind.

The Field Where I Died (4x05) | Melissa Rydell Ephesian

Melissa struggled with the idea of reincarnation, but dared not show it. And as it turned out, a broken link in the chain of her faith led to more broken links.

When she first saw Vernon hurt a child, the chain shattered.

Sanguinarium (4x06) | Dr. Theresa Shannon

The face on the computer had looked just like Jack, but that had to be impossible. The science of surgery hadn’t come that far. To spread the eyes further apart, change features completely… and besides, she knows him. Knows the person he is…

Musings of a Cigarette Smoking Man (4x07) | Albert M. Godwinkle

All Albert M. Godwinkle wants today is to read a halfway decent manuscript that puts a smile on his disgruntled face. Today is not that day.

Tunguska (4x08) | Alex Krycek

If looks could kill, Alex would be a dead man. But he thrives off this, off making Mulder squirm. It’s just so fucking easy.

Terma (4x09) | Senator Albert Sorenson

He was a staunch proponent of holding insubordinate witnesses in contempt when the court was not being respected, and no one, not even a government employee, was immune to that.

Paper Hearts (4x10) | Addie Sparks

The little girl he loves is gone, and she is never coming back.

Just like me.

El Mundo Gira (4x11) | Migrant Worker

At the simple mention of El Chupacabra, the shack erupted in a cacophony of worry, as if merely saying the name might summon the beast.

Leonard Betts (4x12) | Michele Wilkes

Even through the panic she felt screaming through her that nothing about this was okay, she felt a moment of relief wash over her. Maybe it had all been a dream. Maybe her partner hadn’t died while she was at the wheel.

Never Again (4x13) | Ed Jerse

Deadbeat. Loser. Failure.

He’s heard it all, and he has had enough. No one humiliates Ed Jerse anymore. No, not now. Never again.

Memento Mori (4x14) | Kurt Crawford

What is destined for a creature borne of fluid and test tubes, guided by the hands of cruel men?

Kaddish (4x15) | Ariel Luria

Someone else’s hatred had taken her true love away. Just like that, in an instant, like it was nothing. But it was not hatred that led her to the gravesite that stormy night.

Unrequited (4x16) | Special Agent Kent Hill

Hill slides in his earpiece, watching as their eyes lock. His wife would call it eavesdropping, but as he steps closer, tilting his head just right to better hear their hushed voices, Hill simply calls it satisfying a long-standing curiosity.

Tempus Fugit (4x17) | Bartender

The man tried to fluff the pink ball back into shape after presumably squashing it in his pocket. “The woman I came in with— it’s her birthday, and she loves these things. I was wondering if there was any way you could ask someone in the back to put it on a plate and bring it out to her?”

Max (4x18) | Sharon Graffia

Sharon Graffia isn’t a liar. She’d only done what she needed to in order for people to believe her. All she’s ever wanted was someone to believe her.

Synchrony (4x19) | Jason Nichols

Naïveté and a complete lack of understanding of the consequences of their work had been their downfall. But how could they have known?

Small Potatoes (4x20) | Eddie Van Blundht

It didn’t take him long to realize he’d initially misread the situation when he saw them at the clinic. Based on the look Dana Scully shot him when he tried to hold her hand at the airport, he knew he was navigating territory Fox Mulder had yet to conquer.

Zero Sum (4x21) | Billy

He slowly twisted his neck to the right, and was horrified by the sight before him. In the next bed over was David from his class, his face covered in gross red bumps. He looked dead.

Billy didn’t know what else to do. He started crying.

Elegy (4x22) | Lauren Heller

She had an exam in the morning. Her mother’s birthday was the following weekend. She had plans.

Demons (4x23) | Amy Cassandra

As she speaks, the deep wound in her skull throbs, reminding her that that was true, until weeks ago when she’d traded the nightmare of one penetrating drill with the reality of another.

Gesthemane (4x24) | Father McCue

Her faith had come from God, yes… but it had also come from another, less expected source. Perhaps it still did.

Stay tuned for more perspectives coming in Season Five!

1 | 2 | 3 | 4

We spend so much time deliberating and chatting about who to use in a given episode or where certain characters would be best utilized in the series, and we'd love to hear any opinions or predictions you might have! Do you have a favorite minor character? What episodes do you think would be best for our favorite recurring characters? Your feedback is one of the most enjoyable parts of this project (and sometimes hearing other perspectives can help inform the decisions we have to make). - @admiralty-xfd, @fridaysat9, @monikafilefan, and @gaycrouton

The X-Files - “El Mundo Gira”

Written by John Shiban

November 16, 1996 (GOLDENROD)

Mulder and Scully in the purple rain...

Trimmed lines: Does Scully care?

El Chupacabra vivé!

[whovianderson]

Scully’s response to Mulder’s theory being “I don’t even know how to respond to that” sums their relationship up quite well!!!

Mulder protected Scully when Leonard Betts drove out of the garage, awww

I saw spoilers about the cancer arc (thanks for nothing, Reddit), but I wasn’t expecting foreshadowing quite this soon. I AM PREEMPTIVELY SO UPSET :((((

Also it was so hot when Scully was fighting who said that??

#this post is about 4x12 but I’m putting my thoughts on 4x11 in the tags #4x11 #el mundo gira #the cut from the alien to skinner’s face had me dying of laughter #the characters telling different stories at end was a clever touch #4x12 #leonard betts #mulder was so proud of his paperweight joke aww pookie #guys they’re just foreshadowing the cancer arc for the later seasons… right?? RIGHT??

[yourheartinyourmouth]

in El Mundo Gira, the INS agent tells Mulder that he thinks the FBI would have more important things to do. every time, i want Mulder to be like “nah”

#😂 #it makes me laugh #the xfiles #x files #fox Mulder #‘doesn’t the fbi have better things to do?’ nah #el mundo gira #i love this episode for gently poking fun at soap operas and telenovelas

#another of those episodes that I have no idea what happens in #something about a fungus? #also...the end seqence with everyone telling their story is very much like a precursor to bad blood #in style at least #I really love that last gif #the colour and the framing #I just rreally like how it turned out #living polaroid project #living polaroid project season four #my gifs #xf gifs #the x files #txf #x files #msr #el mundo gira

Scully's look, addressed to Mulder and called "this weirdo talks about complete nonsense, but that's why I love him"

#the x files #txf #dana scully #fox mulder #msr #scully x mulder #mulder x scully #sculder #their chemistry... my heart is broken #currently watching s04 #el mundo gira #4x11 #the amount of time they're in each other's space is just... too much for just co-workers or at least friends #and they're just TOO close to each other

[shortmeteor]

The X-Files S04E11 "El mundo gira" is problematic, but I can't say I saw the world of migrant workers depicted at all in 90s US network teve shows (I'm sure I might have missed something). And even though there is some awkwardness in the music, the exaggerated emotions (the "telenovela" thing, and such), and only one actor sounds like an actual mexican native speaker (the US audience would not have noticed), I still think overall one came away with an image of people. Just ordinary humans, in a difficult situation. And that is not nothing.

#x-files #s04e11 #El mundo gira #mulder and scully

[chavisory]

I don't like "El Mundo Gira" as an episode and never will, but consider the role it plays in its placement in season 4, especially if you believe that "Never Again" properly comes before "Leonard Betts," in making Scully feel like she and Mulder are just going in circles without accomplishing much of anything meaningful or leaving them with anything to show for what they've been through.

☕️ + el mundo gira

i've seen this one a couple times and i still have no idea what goes on in it...kinda the biggest weak spot of s4, to me, especially following paper hearts. normally i like the tonal inconsistencies (i enjoy teso dos bichos after pusher, x-cops after closure, etc) but since i just don't like this episode, i have a hard time watching it straight after the emotional intensity of paper hearts. i think the telenovela idea maybe had some weight to it? and the discussion of migrant workers as unseen or uncared for? but i just don't think the episode works. i don't reallyyy dislike any x-files episodes except for like. babylon and excelsis dei. but i just don't Get this one the case doesn't Click for me

#i also dislike 'die hand die verletzt' a lot but we don't have to unpack ALL of that #oh and post modern prometheus #think those are the only ones i just despise? #and i don't like 'trevor' or 'first person shooter' okay this is a tangent but those are my grievances #asks #sorry i have no insights on this one just my 'just woke up and am alone at work' opinion ramble #el mundo gira

All Eyes Lead to the Truth | El Mundo Gira (4x11)

The flame from the lantern danced around the wooden ceiling of the shack while the neighbors gathered around to hear the story of his encounter with El Chupacabra. 

The children eagerly whispered amongst each other as they sat cross-legged on the ground, anticipation momentarily distracting them from their empty stomachs. It seemed that their parents were doing too good of a job assuaging the children’s fears, for if they turned around and looked at the worried faces of the adults lining the perimeter of the room, they might realize the danger lurking outside.

Juan would have to take care of that himself. With a resigned sigh, he stood up on a small apple crate they were using as a makeshift podium, and the room fell silent as all eyes looked towards him.

“God said the Devil would come to man under the guise of a cloven-footed beast. There have been tales of goats standing on hind legs so they could look man in the eye.” Juan took a shaky breath before asking, “But what was it we found in the field lying dead next to Maria?”

“A goat,” someone whispered.

He nodded severely, repeating, “A goat.”

His voice felt loud in the confined space, and he felt perspiration at his brow from the heat of all the bodies warming the room. He wasn’t used to having this much attention on him. In fact, this might have been the first time someone cared what he had to say in years. It felt good to have his community hanging off of his every word, so he pushed down his discomfort and continued his story. “Those who have claimed God was speaking of a goat were fools lucky enough to have never known true evil. They are just servants, there to do Evil’s bidding.”

“The only reason Maria was on the hilltop was because she was following a goat,” his elderly neighbor added, supported by several hushed affirmations.

“Exactly, because that’s what El Chupacabra wanted, and then he killed them both,” he responded.

At the simple mention of El Chupacabra, the shack erupted in a cacophony of worry, as if merely saying the name might summon the beast. 

“He’s going to kill us too.”

“What if he comes back?”

It was easy to get lost in the sea of panic, and Juan knew he had to get their attention again before he was drowned out. More forcefully than before, he shouted, “That’s why we screamed and prayed when la migra brought him to us.”

His plan worked, and the crowd settled down, shushing each other. “We could hear him talking to la policía from our cells. Eladio spoke with man’s tongue to spread the lies of the Devil, but we weren’t fooled, we could hear the truth beneath his deceit.”

“What did he say?” 

“He said he stood atop that hill waiting for Maria. That he lured that poor girl so he could devour her soul,” he exaggerated. His chest felt heavy when Maria’s cousin wailed, but his skin was thrumming like an electrical current under the rapt attention of his audience and he couldn’t stop. “Maria kissed the Devil’s friend and he ripped her lips off her very mouth.”

“Why didn’t la policiá put a stop to this madness?” Flakita cried.

“They tried, but Eladio outsmarted them,” he sighed, rubbing his beard thoughtfully. “When we were being transported, they tried to put him on the bus with us, but we cried out! No, la migra! El Chupacabara!  He will kill us! Please, won’t you spare us?”

He paused interruptions and took the time to come up with what to say next. “Looking at Eladio was like looking at a wolf wearing sheep’s clothing that didn’t quite fit right. He was hunched over as if he was in pain. His skin was pale and sweaty like the exertion of pretending to be human was too much for his body to maintain anymore.”

“How did he get off the bus?” a young boy asked. A vein in Juan’s temple pulsed in frustration as the kid rushed his story. 

“After we begged and pleaded for la migra to keep him away from us, they let him sit in the passenger seat. We all were afraid to breathe, we didn’t want to do anything that might draw Eladio’s attention to us. All we could do was sit there and listen to Eladio whimpering and begging to go to the hospital.”

“Why the hospital?” a voice called out.

“Probably because it would be filled with weak prey for him to feast on,” another replied.

Ignoring them, Juan continued, “Eventually the driver couldn’t take it anymore, and he turned on the radio. That’s when things went bad.”

He rubbed the back of his head and stared at the floor, letting the tension build as he formulated the climax of his story. Truth be told, it smelled like someone farted, then the driver started coughing and crashed the car. There wasn’t much room to see into the bed of the truck, so he was really going to have to fill in some blanks.

“It’s okay, Juan.”

“Take your time, buddy.”

“Remember how much Maria loved Selena?” he asked softly. The whole room nodded. “As soon as la migra turned on the radio, Bidi Bidi Bom Bom started playing and Eladio lost it. A foul odor seeped through the truck and the driver started choking and gasping for air while Eladio screamed.”

He took a shaky breath and covered his face with his hands for dramatic effect while anxious whispers filled the room. “The next thing we knew, the truck stopped and the driver was dead. We knew the federales were following behind us, and we only had a few moments to escape. We were able to break free from the truck and we ran without looking back!”

“Did El Chupacabra follow you?”

“No,” Juan shook his head, “But heed my warning. He is out there, and he isn’t done yet.”
