FEEEEEEEELINGS: OMG, Scully is the very best part of the X-Files. THE VERY BEST. She's so competent and smart and brave and skeptical and strong, and I love how at heart she is just this DEEPLY WEIRD person, too. And she can be so goofy. Aww. I do wish Carter had given her a bit of a rest with all the emotional (and physical) punching bag stuff, though. I mean, god, her dad and her sister die, she gets kidnapped, she gets cancer, evil government men steal her ova, the daughter she didn't know she had dies, Mulder vanishes, she has to give her son up for adoption... Holy cow.
Ships: Mulder. Always and forever. Even if they are scarily co-dependent and probably not actually that good for each other; I don't care, they will always be one of Baby's First OTPs, and have informed my shipping blueprint for the past fifteen years.
Other kinds of ships: Um. I sort of liked the potential she had with Monica? I've tried to put most of S8/9 out of my head, and before that, she really didn't interact with many people beyond Mulder.
Unpopular opinion: While I agree that her S1/S2 suits were eye-searingly awful (there's a maroon one that shows up in my nightmares), having now gone through my own attempts at buying businessy clothes on tiny salaries, I kind of like that they showed her wearing stuff she could've conceivably afforded that probably came straight from K-Mart.
Something that should've happened: The show should've ended after "Je Souhaite." Beyond that, she should've gotten to keep one of her kids. Basically, she should've gotten to be happier.
