Haha, yes, Skinner was the coolest one in this episode, our Richard Gere! 
Well at this point M&S were lovers already. I just think that they have never thought about kissing like that in such an awful situation.  |
Yeah they were totally already doing it at that time and I think Skinner knew, hence why he felt the need to make sure Mulder knew he didn't thought he put Federman to write "I'm in love with Agent Skinner" on the movie as his suggestion.
Well the movie has their first kiss played for laughs when in real life it took them a long time to move there and it was a meaningful milestone not inside a coffin after a fight. Mulder always fears all his lifework will be wasted and he will be remembered as a lunatic. I think he fears he is going to be the supernatural's Ed Wood he is remembered but because his movies were so bad. So of course everything in the movie will make him feel like crap. I don't think Scully cares that much about posterity and she is more hopeful that Mulder will in in the end no matter what. Just IMO, YMMV.
