Ok I think it would be fun for us to have a different topic ever now and then to keep interest going [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Question #1
Do you think that the writers of the show should have had Mulder and Scully get romanticlly involved in the early seasons? Why or Why not?

As much as I hate anticipating anything (I want it NOW!!!), I don't think M/S should have gotten together in the earlier seasons. That wasn't the point of the show. The whole plot was that this guy--the loose cannon of the FBI and the nutcase that lived in the basement--was on a quest to find out what happened to his sister, and the woman assigned to bring him down became his only friend. They loved each other, yes, but the Truth was more important that anything else. And besides, the "will they/won't they" UST is fun! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

We all hoped it would happen, but when it did, the idea kinda sputtered. It was fun watching them interact and the sometimes there romantic tension.

I agree,plus,the MSR was the less corny relationship ever portrayed on TV.Seriously,we didn't need any love scenes or "I love yous" to know they deeply cared and loved each other.The fact they were ready to die just to save one another showed it all.

The writers/producers took a risk by putting the MSR a tad in the background,but in the end,it all worked out very well.We could never see that again,now it's all about showing everything that can be shown... [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

The fact their love was really tied to their quest made the MSR very special and unique.

So basically,no,they shouldn't have had Mulder&Scully get romantically involved in the earlier seasons,though,it was obvious they were "together" from the day Scully chose to believe in Mulder,that is to say,from the pilot.

I agree with you all.

I think it was right of them not to let Mulder & Scully get romanticly involved. I liked their sexual tension around each other. It made it that much better when they worked together, everything each said could bounce with the other. They were so different in so many ways, but then again they ended up being the same.

Yeah, what was great about them (besides the wanting of it to happen) was that it was never the focus. They were two great characters that were written so well that you didn't need that cliched storyline of them actually getting romantically involved.

Until the end of the series of coarse when they seemed to run out of ideas [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Excatly, unlike so many other shows a 'relationship' was the focus, but with the xfiles it was so much more about the actually cases and the mulder/scully fighting about what the 'truth' is.

I don't know about everyone else, but whenever I watch a show and want a couple to get together and then they finally get together, I just lose interest. I think it was good that they held off the relationship until the end. It makes it more worthwhile. Also, if you wait until the end to put the two together, you don't have to go through the whole process of what their relationship is now. The audience just has the satisfaction of knowing that they end up together and can create the rest of the story for themselves. So, to sum it all up, I'm glad that the writers did not make Mulder and Scully develop a romantic relationship early in the seasons.
