Scully is the perfect example of a strong likeable woman that modern day writers can't/won't write.

Every episode feels like a movie. It doesn't have "Netflix Lighting"

One of the things I noted on watching it, and remembering the hype during it's original run, was people's love of Fox Mulder. And the thing about Mulder is, he's kind of a dick. I think people soften him in their memories but he's a jerk. I find that a lot of beloved male characters from the past are pretty much jerks. I think it shows people want edgy male characters with some grit to them.
Most notable and lovable men in media are either great father figures with balls of steel or dicks with a heart of gold.
Yeah for like the first two seasons the partnership had an underlying tension that he was this former golden boy turned conspiracy weirdo and she was partly being punished partly there to report on him and run him out of the fbi.
I think it's because deep down we all know that men are kinda supposed to be dicks (hence the name "dick"). Just look at how men bond: we call each other insulting names, we laugh at each other's fuck ups, we hit each other, etc... That's what we do to the people we LIKE.
Dealing with the bullshit necessary to keep society running turns you into a dick.
If you meet a guy who is always pleasant, rest assured he's totally useless otherwise.
Having worked with nothing but men for 30 years in a demanding field, I can confirm. I'll add that there is nothing more suspicious than a new guy acting too fucking nice or kissing up.
Some not all.
iirc they wanted to cast a huge-titty bimbo as Scully, but someone with a brain made the better choice. Reportedly Pamala Anderson was considered.
How could you have forgotten this classic?
