things I like about Scully:

  • it is an integral part of her character that she follows the rules
  • (insofar as the rules do not contradict her personal ethics)
  • and she finds it difficult to conceive of not following the rules
  • she is consistently rigid and cautious and methodical
  • and this proves to be an advantage to her character
  • WHICH DOES NOT HAPPEN ON TV
  • none of her development hinges on her “loosening up” or learning to be less methodical or learning to cut corners for emotional purposes
  • on the contrary, her goddamned strict scientific rationalism saves Mulder time and again, literally and figuratively
  • our protagonists are alive because Scully is a fucking goody-two-shoes
