Of all the X-Files alumni I imagine she's the one I've seen least since the show ended. David and Gillian have certainly done lots while the likes of Nick Chinlund, Nicholas Lea, Mitch Pileggi, Adam Baldwin, Robert Patrick, Laurie Holden etc pop up a lot. But I'm struggling to think of anything else I've seen her in since.

[~MelBelle~]

I've seen her in quite allot since then but the most recent for me was Once Upon a Time.

[JayDeeMac]

Really? Obviously I've just been watching the wrong shows

[~MelBelle~]

Just looked her up...shows after the X-Files:
The West Wing
Brotherhood
Flashforward
CSI (3 episodes)
Pretty Little Liars
The Bridge
Sons of Anarchy <---most recent (this year)

[reason to believe]

Watching Reyes and Scully in the 9th season made me wonder was Reyes a typical height for a woman or taller than average because when she stands next to Scully, it makes Scully look reallllly diminutive, lol. I wouldn't be sure since I'm petite too and everyone automatically seems taller to me.

And it's nice to know Reyes was probably the only female on the show Scully liked or wasn't a tad jealous towards, Scully wasn't known for getting along with any female characters eh, until Reyes came along. ?

It looks like when you know who tried to sway you know who, and failed, he tried again and succeeded. I still don't know why.

I don’t remember Scully really liking many of the men either (besides Mulder, Skinner, Lone Gun Men, and poor Pendrell ). I could be wrong though.
I don’t believe I have ever watched an episode with Monica Reyes (with the exception of the one in S 10 of course), so I’m really looking forward to seeing her during my S9 "rewatch."

Thanks for that gif set, Melbelle!

[~MelBelle~]

I pretty much like Scully when it came to other females on the show Reyes was the first and only to not bug me.

[reason to believe]

That is true, I didn't mind her much at all, along with Doggett, when I was at first skeptical of the idea of new agents entering the X-Files. But she sure was more palatable than Phoebe, Detective White or Fowley. (I don't think Bambi was as a bad as Scully reacted over her tho, )

[~MelBelle~]

Bambi was more of a tease

[Tech Noir]

I wonder why the show did that -making the other women kind of sketchy. Personally, I’m a big fan of strong, intelligent women bonding with each other instead of feeling threatened by each other.

And I agree with you guys about Bambi.

[reason to believe]

I think maybe it's cause it was men writing the women characters, and we know men like "cat fights".

[Tech Noir]

^ Because obviously they're worth it.

[reason to believe]

(Actually, I'm glad they avoided any literal cat fights between women too, cause Scully was certainly capable of physical stuff. The closest male fantasy the writers came up with was likely Scully ninja kicking the nurses, lol. A literal fantasy. )

I think my favorite Reyes episode is the Brady Bunch episode. And my favorite Reyes blooper is

Spoiler:

her getting into a coughing fit when she's supposed to be dead and Scully just deadpans "she's gone, John,"

probably no spoiler needed since you can plainly see this on the blooper reel.
