I clearly need to go have some sort of emotional (not necessarily sexual) relationship with an older father figure… as weird and disturbing as that may sound… so that when he comes back into my life years later I will then realize that the person I’m currently with (in a non-romantic/sexual sort of way) is exactly who I need to be with. Period.

Snippets from my copy of LAX-Files, which pretty much prove that all things was set to show just that “oh, by the way, they’re doing it”, not that it was their first time then.
Sorry for the questionable image quality.

Time passes in moments… moments which, rushing past define the path of a life just as surely as they lead towards its end. How rarely do we stop to examine that path, to see the reasons why all things happen, to consider whether the path we take in life is our own making or simply one into which we drift with eyes closed. But what if we could stop, pause to take stock of each precious moment before it passes? Might we then see the endless forks in the road that have shaped a life? And, seeing those choices, choose another path?

Top 20 Mulder/Scully scenes #9
Scully: What if there was only one choice and all the other ones were wrong? And there were signs along the way to pay attention to.
Mulder: Mmm. And all the… choices would then lead to this very moment. One wrong turn, and… we wouldn’t be sitting here together. Well, that says a lot. That says a lot, a lot, a lot. That’s probably more than we should be getting into at this late hour.7x17 - All Things

I was talking to my mom last night about the growth of Beckett’s character since season 1 and I brought up that it would be really cool if they had an “all things” type of episode for Beckett.
Now my mother has never seen the X-files (been trying to get her to watch it FOR YEARS), so I had to explain to her the plot of the episode, the influence it had on Scully’s life and how everything that had happened to her prior to the episode would indicate a huge change in her character, much like “Never Again” did a few seasons before.
After explaining it all, my mom just looked at me and said “well isn’t that what happened in both “Under the Gun” and “To Love and Die in LA”?”
Now I don’t know what’s scarier. The fact that she’s right or the fact that she knows the episode names…
Only difference is that Stana didn’t write and direct those episodes like Gillian Anderson did “all things”
