TFTNT and the title

What a disturbing ending to the episode.

You're welcome.

I'm so glad they cut this scene!

Spoiler:

Where was Emily's body?

Oh yes! I am glad they cut it as well!

And I don't know. I guess they disposed of it?

It would have been so insensitive.

Scully should have cremated it and kept it.

Some script notes from Christmas Carol.





Christmas Carol, original script.





'Can't have kids?' Gillian's script notes on point (that's her handwriting) where she spotted plot holes. Hence, the aired episode includes a scene (which is not in the script) with her mother where Scully confides she can't conceive.

I don’t understand how it’s something Gillian didn’t already know. Unless she doesn’t see the whole episode scripts.

Yeah, Gillian knows her character and feels what she feels so when she read something like that, she was probably perplexed! Glad she pays attention to details even if the show didn't make sense, she cared enough!

Why wouldn't they tell her such an important detail though!
