I did wonder how that character was taken at the time, because everyone seems to get so mad these days and feel personally attacked when tv shows poke fun at nerdy characters like that, so I wonder if many internet viewers at the time got upset or not?

And yes, that appearance of Alex Trebek made me laugh too

To me, "Small Potatoes" seems like a worthy successor....

‘Did he have a lightsaber’ Classic episode

And aww Scully was so cute at the end with how nerdy and into her work she was on a Friday night lol, and she really seemed like she wanted a more personal relationship with Mulder when ‘Mulder’ suggests they should talk and share more, although she didn’t really seem that into the idea of a kiss to me idk. When I was younger I always saw it as such a shipper moment with Scully really tempted and just about to kiss him back, but watching it now Scully comes across as more confused than anything at what Mulder is doing

What do you think Mulder meant by his comment at the end that he might not be a loser, but he’s no Eddie either?


Oh and Darin Morgan has talked about how Vince Gilliagan called him to say that he’s thought of the role of a real loser that he’d be perfect for, and then had to call him back to say that of course I don’t see you that way, that always makes me laugh

Yeah, that question made me laugh too

And yes, I agree, confused, but she so wanted that

I felt sorry for Mulder in the end. It seemed like he was confronted with the potential he threw away And I think his last comment meant that he thought being Eddie Blundht was really cool Nerdy Mulder.

I didn't know that story

BTW it seems we're on a role with unplanned offspring... Great Mutato, Small Potatoes
