settle-down-frohike:piper-scully:DAILY FANDOM FILEThe Triangle kiss doesn’t get much fandom love. Most likely because it is not in real time - or Scully’s whopping punch afterwards. But let’s look at how Mulder pulls her into him and leaves her panting ( as the close caption says). Very . One request … can’t any kiss on The X Files be properly lit?I think about this kiss a lot. A lot a lot. Scully may not be Scully here, but Mulder is absolutely Mulder. And this is how he envisioned himself kissing her for the first time—passionately, leaving no room for second guessing or confusion about his intentions. He’s pushed, yes, by the chance of never making it back to his real Scully, but out of all the things he could have wanted, just in case, he wanted a kiss. A real, honest to God I’m crazy about you kiss. And I feel like, at least at this point he was absolutely giving a lot of serious thought about moving forward with a romantic relationship. His “I love you” was another kiss type move, probably a bit watered down by fear since the real live version was in front of him. You can see the fear on his face, and he absolutely hesitates, terrified, bc this “I love you” was THE “I love you”. He made the declaration, took the step, and Scully being true to herself examined the idea from a logical standpoint. For me this may not be “their” first kiss, but it is without a doubt Mulder’s. S5 was a bit of a mood killer for various reasons, I think the events of Emily being a big big game changer. But I remember Mulder smiling about the bruised cheek at end. He remembered the kiss, and despite Scully’s eye-rolling, he saw hope for it, and had 100% made up his mind about what he wanted. Anyway. I stan the hell out of this kiss. -- source link
