On another note, has anyone watched the X-files dailies clips on YouTube? Someone put out the unedited "takes" that DD and GA filmed and they really show how they interacted working together and how they "acted". I'm most fascinated with this one for instance:

Some observations ;
You can see GA transform from herself to Scully mode in about 3-5 seconds at the beginning
Acting is basically repeating yourself like a robot yet maintaining the emotions as fresh.
DD and GA changing their lines slightly from take to take with some ad-lib in different inflections, and their talking in between takes. I guess it makes the conversation between M & S sound more natural.
GA almost calling DD "Mulder" in real life
GA becoming frustrated about holding up a file folder that she ends up, well, overdoing it, lol
And personally being a local, my mind goes to the question of where in the Fraser valley they can drive that car for almost 7 minutes without hitting any intersections or stop signs?
http://youtu.be/5zzsViH6ycI and this one shows GA's professionalism in getting the lines spoken correctly although she seems prone to frustration easily. or maybe it was just a bad day, lol
There are so many more of them from many episodes, I also am interested in one where GA does a crying scene (they did the opening clapper take really quiet for her there)and during Emily's funeral, during the moments inbetween filming, she just remains very serious and somber to keep the mood. But acting is soooooo repetitive. Anyway, seeing these makes you appreciate how much these two were talented and patient for all the takes required, lol
