When the subject of Mulder and and Scully's love life comes up people often ask the question what love life? Well Mulder andThe Ex-Files
The MulderBabes
The Dreaded Ex
Agent Diana Fowley is perhaps the biggest threat to Mulder and Scully's
relationship. Either she's his ex-wife, his ex-mistress or
a really intense ex-fling. Either way she's trouble. She is working
against Mulder at every turn and obviously has a thing going
on with Mulder's arch enemy CGB Spender aka CSM.
The Vamp
Kristen Killer has the distinction of being the only woman that Mulder
has been shown getting intimate with on screen. Feeling
lost after Scully's abduction in "Duane Barry" and "Ascension" Mulder
heads to L.A. in "3" to help solve a case involving serial
killers that claim to be vampires. Needless to say Mulder lets his
limbido rule his better judgement throught this episode and
Kristen bites the dust in the end.
The Uninterested Crush
Mulder meet Dr. Bambi Berenbaum (yes her name is Bambi) when he was
investigating supposed attacks by killer
cockroaches in "War of the Coprophages". Mulder was instantly smitten,
he even let her call him Fox!, but Bambi was not
interested, In fact, she walked off into the rain with an older, disabled,
but brilliant scientist and didn't even give Mulder another
look.
"The Confused Weather Girl"
Sheila Fontaine spent her entire life looking for love in all the wrong
places. Every man that she fell in love with either left her
and/or treated her like dirt, except for her best friend Holman. So
when Mulder and Scully come to her town to investigate her
former fiancee, a man claiming to be "The Rain King," she chooses to
ingnore Holman and falls for Mulder!!!. Of course,
Mulder does everything he can to help Holman catch Sheila's eye and
after some good advice from Scully Sheila decides to
give a romantic relationship with Holman a chance. After they come
together Mulder asks Holman how it felt to finally come
clean about his feelings. Holman replies to Mulder that he should try
it sometime. Boy should he ever.
The ScullyHunks
"The Cutting Room Floor Boyfriend"
Ethan Minette was a lobbyist who was suppose to be Scully's boyfriend
in the pilot. Although Ethan didn't make it in the pilot
and was never mentioned, he is in the script and in the pilot novelization.
Their relationship was described in both as anything
but warm or close so I'm going with the theory that they were a pre-Xfiles
item. Scully, however, dumped him upon meeting
Mulder not because she wanted to get with him, but because she liked
spending her time with Mulder and their work more than
she liked being around Ethan. That's my theory and I'm sticking to
it.
The One Night Stand
Ed Jerse has severe emotional problems when Scully meet him in "Never
Again." Freaked out by the prospect of having
cancer, and fed up with Mulder, Scully decided to seize the day and
accept a date with a strange man. Unfortunately for Scully,
Ed was bitter about his divorce and started hallucinating that his
newly aqcuired tatoo was talking to him, driving him to kill one
woman and attack Scully. Scully escaped the attack and Ed was carted
off . The experience left Scully with a tattoo and a little
wiser.
The Lovestruck Sweetie
Agent Pendrell was a lab technician with a major crush on Scully. He
died saving her life by taking a bullet meant for her in
"Max."
The Hunky Sheriff
While investigating a case that Mulder is sure involves vampires in
"Bad Blood" Mulder and Scully meet up with local law
enforcement Sheriff Hartwell. Although this episode is told from two
different points of view, in both Scully is obviously smitten.
And Mulder is obviously jealous enough to describe the Sheriff as a
buck-toothed dummy. He also turns out to be a vampire.
Can Scully pick em or what?
Faux Mulder
Eddie Van Blundht was a born loser. He was also born with a tail and
the ability to morph into any man
he wanted to. Eddie has used this abiltiy to pretend to be women's
husbands, boyfriends and greatest
fantasies. In "Small Potatoes" he takes Mulder's form and visits Scully's
apartment, wine bottle in hand.
After getting Scully to relax and open up he moves in for the kiss.
Scully isn't encouraging him, but she
sure isn't fighting him either. Unfortunately the real Mulder barges
in before we could see if Scully wanted
that kiss!
"The Lovelorn Writer"
Paget was a writer who became obsessed with Scully at first site. He
decided to write about her, moving
into Mulder's apartment just to be near her. His longing however, took
on a life of its own when his
character came to life and started stealing hearts. Paget made overtures
to Scully, but Scully rejected him.
Paget eventually figured out that Scully was in love with Mulder and
dejected almost had his character kill
her. He changed his mind at the last minute, throwing his book into
the flames in order to give Scully a
chance at life with Mulder. He apparently commits sucide happy with
the knowledge that he was giving
Our Duo a chance to love each other.
