#xfiles25days Day 25: favorite MSR hug The end of “Paper Hearts” These two give us some AMAZING hugs, and this one, while one-armed, just does it for me. So sweet, yet sad, and full of longing. Scully’s face as she pulls away breaks me 🥺 I love this show so much 🥹

#xfiles25days Day 24: fav movie IWTB has its moments (scratchy beard) but I adore FTF and it wins just on the basis of “what about my men!?” Also the scale, the incredible score, and getting our two heroes to the big screen 🍿. An easy choice, I just had to pick up the phone and make it happen 😉

#xfiles25days Day 23- fave Scully scene The end of ‘Beyond the Sea’. Her vulnerability. SCULLY: I'm afraid. I'm afraid to believe. MULDER: You couldn't face that fear? Even if it meant never knowing what your father wanted to tell you? SCULLY: But I do know. MULDER: How? SCULLY: He was my father.

#xfiles25days Day 22 - fav revival ep First and foremost, I am GRATEFUL we got not one, but two, revivals seasons!! M&S Meet the Were-Monster This just gives so much. Guy Mann, Kumail, red speedo, Dagoo! All wrapped up in the true horror of being human 😂 Yeah, this is how I like my Mulder.

#xfiles25days Day 21- fav mulder scene David/Mulder’s reaction to her diagnosis is heartbreaking. Disbelief, shock, helplessness. MULDER: I don't accept that. Th..there must be some people who have received treatment for this, we..can... Who knew a script written in days could give us so much.

#xfiles25days Day 20 fav xfiles edit @cathyg.bsky.social cheated below so I’ll do the same 😜 Let’s be real-this montage might as well be an edit 👏🏼👏🏼

#xfiles25days Day 19 - fav s9 ep I’ll say it- I, like many, did not love season 9, so to say “favorite” is tough… cheating and selecting “the truth, part 2” just because of that sweet ending with our favorite couple 🥰. “‘Maybe there’s hope”

#xfiles25days Day 18: fav photo shoot There are A LOT of great ones to choose from, but this one is just….. magic.

#xfiles25days Day 17 - fav s8 ep Badlaa Ok, hear me out 😅 This episode is problematic as hell but it sure is memorable. Plus we get Chuck Burke and that great Scully/Doggett scene at the end. The “butt genie” gets my vote 😂

#xfiles25days Day 15: favorite season 7 ep “Hollywood A.D.” is it perfect? No, but it’s still fun and gave us some really enjoyable moments. Scully’s run, the bubble bath, Skinman. Also, I love that this was the inspiration for David to write “Truly Like Lightning”.

#xfiles25days Day 14: favorite MOTW Virgil Incanto from “2Shy” This episode is creepy, gross, and… relatable? Especially in the world of online dating. Scully says it best: “You're more than a monster. You didn't just feed on their bodies. You fed on their minds.”

#xfiles25days Day 13 - fave s6 ep I ADORE this season, so I went with something that just makes me joyful- “The Rain King” Stealing from @mcwexlered.bsky.social but I do love the MSR sway 😍, all of the funny antics, and bonus mention for Scully’s “Irish aunt Olive” (Olive is my daughter’s name ♥️♥️)

#xfiles25days Day 12 - favorite character other than Mulder and Scully. Special Agent Diana Fowley I’M KIDDING!!!😂😂😂 It’s of course Agent Pendrell for being so adorable and having a crush on Scully like all of us do!

#xfiles25days Day 11 - fav Skinner scene Fun fact: @caseyjean.bsky.social @lilmissscully.bsky.social made our own “top ten skinner moments” lists to share with each other at Philefest 😂 here’s a fun one from that list! 😍 🛁

#xfiles25days Day 10: fav S5 episode This isn’t a particularly original pick,but it has to be “Bad Blood”. It’s just SO funny. Some favorite moments: Mulder kicking the 🗑️, Scully’s 🥯 (half), Shaft, “I was drugged”, and just a KILLER score from the one and one Mark Snow. Love this episode!!!

#xfiles25days Day 9: favorite Reyes scene I picked what first came to mind which is “Improbable” mostly because it’s silly and we get to see Scully and Reyes together - we needed more of this!!!

Mika @mikaleonard.bsky.social · 08/12/2024

#xfiles25days Day 8: favorite season 4 ep Ok, this is REALLY tough because we all know Season 4 is incredible, but I gotta go with “Unruhe” for giving us a creepy x-file, great cold open, and an incredibly scary villain. (Bonus for Scully in distress which is a theme I hate that I seem to love 🤦🏻‍♀️)

#xfiles25days Day 7 - fave doggett scene I think like many Philes, I’ve come to appreciate John Doggett so much more upon rewatch. Huge props to Robert Patrick for giving it his all in “release”. Love that he got to act alongside his real life wife Barbara in this emotional episode.

#xfiles25days Day 5: favorite season 3 episode Probably not the first to come to mind for most, especially with bangers like “Jose Chungs” and “Pusher” in this season, but I choose “Oubliette” such a heartbreaking episode with excellent performances across the board.

Mika @mikaleonard.bsky.social · 04/12/2024

#xfiles25days Day 3: favorite season 2 episode “Irresistible” Not sure what this says about me, but I used to fall asleep to this episode. My all time, favorite episode, as evidenced by this photo.

#xfiles25days Day 2: Favorite Scully outfit Not necessarily favorites, but these two looks deserve a shout out because I love that we got to see Queen Gillian in something uncharacteristic for Scully. What a beauty. (Bonus Mulder pic because well.. why not)

Jersey Devil. Camp, but fun. Also we get the most ICONIC of Scully outfits! (As cosplayed by @caseyjean.bsky.social @lilmissscully.bsky.social with special guest Chris Carter) #xfiles25days
