I remember when I first watched that scene where Mulder (David Duchovny) breaks down and cries in his apartment. I thought to myself "This show is about a whole lot more than two FBI agents running after aliens, huh?"

[@samthelion3925]

Also, side note, that scene was fucking gorgeous. The way the music builds and then just fades away when Mulder started crying? And all you can hear is his sobs and the sounds of life outside his apartment? Fucking phenomenal. I remember the silhouette of his body and his hands outstretched against his bright window really captivated me.

[@TheUberlisa]

The writers (briefly) considered Melissa as a love interest for Mulder. I don't know what changed their minds, but thank goodness.

[@sallymullins1328]

Melissa???!!! No. Absolutely not. Not even close. Another great episode with great comments and commentary. Thanks from a sentimental fan❤️😺

[@samthelion3925]

Thank fucking God cause that'd be so weird. Right?? Like, ew.

[@Muirmaiden]

Apparently, Phoebe Green (Amanda Pays), Mulder's old flame from the Season 1 episode, "Fire" was supposed to be a recurring character but the idea was scrapped. Another idea I'm glad didn't happen. Phoebe was annoying and she didn't deserve to work with Mulder, much less be romantically involved with him.

[@vanyadolly]

@@Muirmaiden Wow. Not to mention how toxic their relationship was.

[@amirkhalid5449]

At the end of Ascension, Mulder tried to give the cross pendant to Mrs Scully. But she put it back in his hand and said, "When you find her, you give it to her." I think Mrs Scully had a sense of what Dana and Mulder meant to each other.

[@rogwarrior1018]

You can't fool Maggie. God, I loved her character. Shelia Larkin was Mrs. Scully...the end!

[@SouthpawUpstate]

Candice, your takes on classic X-Files episodes is a revelation. I say this as someone who was your age when these episodes were first airing, and seeing a new generation be excited about the show, taking its imperfections in stride, and covering it with feeling *and* humor GIVES ME A NEW LEASE ON X-F LIFE. Thank you so much!

[@rogwarrior7688]

This is one of my favorite episodes for so many reasons (including the "dress down" Melissa gives Mulder in his apartment). I love the way Mulder fights with everything he has to avoid telling Scully how he feels (while carrying her crucifix in his pocket) but, to me what really makes the episodes is the way each of the 3 characters have a waiver in their beliefs even if briefly. Scully can't explain where she was or what happened, neither heaven nor hell but, her last memory is being with Duanne Barry could she be thinking an abduction was possible? Mulder with his belief of abduction finally gives in and sits beside holding her hand wondering if his presence can pull her back from the "light". Then we have Skinner, telling Mulder he doesn't have the courage to "look" into his own strange paranormal experience on the field of combat but, Mulder is not afraid of the truth (unspoken that Scully will return to the X-Files if she survives). Each has a disruption of their faith. I think this is another huge bonding moment for Mulder and Scully even though it is downplayed. In the end neither gives another thought to their experience in the other's world of beliefs. Well worth watching twice. Thank you Candace, as always great vid and commentary.

[@Katrien03]

"One breast" as Gillian calls it... 😆

[@whydidppltakemyname]

I love how you blatantly said "Everyone knows!" about Mulder and Scully. Because, YES! Also, you totally gave me inspiration for the next chapter of my fanfic.

[@whydidppltakemyname]

Scully's best friend Ellen who shows up ONCE in Season 1 never to be heard from again?

[@rogwarrior1018]

I love the way Melissa says: "at least she'll know...and so will you." Melissa was gold.

[@HikeAroundandFindOut]

Wow just re-watched this tonight. I almost melted when Mulder gave Scully her cross back. What a great episode.

[@jarvisdidwhat]

"Mulder and the Scullys" *giggles*

[@matthewjury4385]

This episode was so incredible, and it comes right after 3, what a shift in quality

[@rogwarrior1018]

That's what happens when you have folks who can act, (GA spoiled us). The dudette in 3 leaves a lot to be desired.....she couldn't carry a scene of it was in a Samsonite.

[@Mia_M]

I feel like Mulder and Scully are the most oblivious souls or maybe they are aware of how in love they are with one another. They've found many way ways over the course of the series to all but declare their eternal love. Lol she was 26 not that it makes much difference because she had such a baby face in the early seasons. Also I think some of the best MSR scenes are the hospital ones. There's so much emotion and tenderness in their expressions and actions. That should totally be a vid.

[@rogwarrior1018]

They said "I love you" in so many ways without saying those 3 words. In almost every episode...if not with words, with looks and gestures. 30 years and we are still living for this series.

[@fish-fingers_and_custard7685]

Who was an emotional wreck after this episode.....*raises hand*

[@fish-fingers_and_custard7685]

Absolutely:)

[@defencebangladesh4068]

the ship sails CS me

[@vanyadolly]

"because Mulder's mom sucked" 😂 I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that!

[@dianagvera8355]

There's a fanfic where they invite Mulder's mom to live with them and William in their ranch hahaha and I was like: Hell no!! That frickin bitch doesn't deserve it! Hahaha

[@rogwarrior1018]

I loved Maggie. She was such a good Mom. She was non-judgmental, kind, compassionate, wise, and she knew the depth of the feelings between Mulder and Scully early on. She just wanted Dana to be happy like any mom would.

[@amirkhalid5449]

This episode aired in late 1994. Scully, born in February 1964, was indeed 30 years old. Gillian, born in August 1968, was 26 years old.

[@alexvasquez7273]

The description of what it does to your heart is ACCURATE thank you for putting it into words

[@mariapucasara]

I'm crying after watching your video, now I'll have to watch the episode again !!

[@kasialaskowska120]

I’m 2 years late but now it’s 4 am and I’m bingeing on your videos about the X files, even though I know every damn episode by heart but I never get bored and I LIVE for the X files. God, I love Mulder and Scully, I swear. And I love your videos, you have such a nice vibe and you are so obsessed with them just like me 💕

[@maryjoseoliveirabieler6554]

Love this just what I need when I wake up in the morning

[@jordandenny6875]

I kinda wanted Mulder to go all John Wick on the bad men but whatever

[@matthewjury4385]

Jordan Denny he tried

[@stacyclark1322]

Please more X files reviews. I really miss them and you! You’re the best.

[@pennyproblems]

Awesome job as usual! I now refer to Thursdays as candice day to my husband.

[@tonyc7301]

1:08-To be fair, GA was 26 when this episode was filmed, but yes, she did look like a kid.

[@TheUberlisa]

Also, Gillian lied about her age when she auditioned.

[@defencebangladesh4068]

Yep ripped my heart apart... Love this episode ❤

[@defencebangladesh4068]

Rachel Lee one of the best 👍 Yes

[@illyrianlion5951]

We need more reviews from you! I'm re-watching X-Files and I'm bummed you aren't doing new ones. Also review Twin Peaks there are MANY connections between X-Files and Twin Peaks. They might share the same universe or at least many of us hope they do. Dont look into spoilers though! It'll be ruined instantly!

[@dinaalvares128]

Mulder and Scully are everything 😍😍😍

[@Dana-xv9ru]

You always say exactly what my brain narrates in my head when watching the x files, cracks me up!!😂this was a very emotional episode, especially after that 'WTF ARE YOU DOING!!' Episode just before with mulder and that vampire thing...😐😐😑😐...I went from wising to kick his ass to okay, maybe like Melissa McCarthy in the heat.

[@brilynn4u]

Wow another one so soon!! Yaas.

[@BigFanOfManyThings]

What my friends debate about a lot is who's abduction was worse but you can't really measure: Scully was experimented on by humans and was made to live so she could be a potential mother for alien hybrids, but also had to suffer cancer. Mulder was taken to clear the slate, not to be experimented on but completely tortured by real aliens and his fate was to die and turn into an alien himself. They each have gone through shit so right now, can the writers just cut them some slack (by which I don't mean write Scully out of it to have a baby she's too old to have....) Scully's not been on friggin life support for long and already the family have a stone made?? and Mulder's pre-made one was wheeled out whilst he was only missing for a bit! The FBI are death-happy!

[@samanthabrunet9772]

Yea he was always willing to give everything up for her. Even in the new stuff.

[@RonnieFN]

Very emotional indeed!

[@homerobc390]

I live for this channel

[@angeldelgado7120]

Were is "Conduit"? That is the best Mulder episode of season 1!

[@frazergreen6786]

Can you please cover season 2 episode 2 ''Host''?

[@sydneyh5352]

I hope you do FTF but in any case I can't wait for you to get farther into the series (and therefore deeper into the MSR... God those two...)

[@dfxzzz]

I dont know anymore like i hope we are all ok and again Techno

[@matthewjury4385]

The mom is so cold hearted

[@rogwarrior]

I loved Mrs. Scully she was a real Mom. She loved her kids but lived in reality. She was awesome!

[@kelly62285]

You are so cool !

[@addyatkinson7923]

Gillian actually named her daughter Piper Maru is that a coincidence?

[@nacirabadran2881]

🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@dfxzzz]

ok ok she is ok

[@dfxzzz]

I aways catch greek outside Botevgrad

[@dfxzzz]

And Kandy survive at the end

[@HartSlater1]

Ok ok ok bitch nooooo. LOL. All the feelz!!! Love One Breath and your take on it!!! I lived on this episode for so long and it was only Season 2. Loved Melissa she was kick ass!!! Fantastic video!!! Oh and Scullys cross necklace saved Mulder in the episode "3" . That ep starred David's then girlfriend..ne potism at its finest. Breathe Dana Breathe!!

[@fatimacouto7063]

So Mulder asked Scully out, wanted to give up his job and the Xfiles, but why later on they shielded their feelings? I wonder what happened for the writers to do this.....

[@rogwarrior]

Have to keep the fans interested week to week...and they did because 20 years after the main series ended here we are

[@61505]

mulder wouldn,t give up his FBI job not even for Scully....

[@peterfitzpatrick7032]

Must u really use bad language ? 😒

[@bethm9384]

Don't like it? Don't watch.

[@rogwarrior1018]

It's Candace and her vids...always real!
