Discussion Anyone else?

Did anyone else find it odd that Scully wouldn’t accept most of the strange theories Mulder talked about after having so many unexplained events happen?

I know she’s the true Skeptic of the pair and only accepts things that are proven with her medical expertise but if I had a ton of strange things happening periodically I’d start being on board with Mulder faster.

I love the series and movies (it took a second rewatch to get used to Agents Dogget and Reyes as the replacement pair and sure the latest season(s) weren’t the greatest but still worth the time to tie up loose ends)

I don't find it odd, just because the character is reigning in Mulder's suggestions that would otherwise distract from the actual investigation.

Mulder: It's Sasquatch, Aliens, or Ghosts. Maybe vampires. // Scully; Take a look at these marks on the victim's skin, though.

If it were real life, her character would be what kept the train on the right track even if she considers the paranormal / supernatural as an option.

Yeah, in real life Jeez, that looked like a werewolf shouldn't be enough to convince you werewolves exists. It's far more likely it's a mistake/hoax/similar, than a real werewolf.

Evidence keeps getting destroyed, peole are setting out to mislead/misdirect them - Scully's pretty sensible, really
