    Scully… you’ve witnessed more insane shit than the average FBI agent ever would in their entire career… how could you not believe in conspiracies… Unless you’re part of it and you were assigned to be my partner so you could be more of a handler, keeping me away from the truth but close enough to not figure it out Scully… But I have figured it out Scully, I’ve worked it all out… You’re the smoking man Scully… It all makes sense now… it was always you!

      Slow clap, Mr. Mulder. Slow clap.

      The last horse has finally crossed the finish line. I suppose now the real question is…what are you going to do about it?

      Scully believed in the high level idea of the X-Files since nearly the very beginning. That’s why she stayed loyal to Mulder. Scully often doesn’t believe in specific theories pushed by Mulder in individual episodes, and she is often correct that his initial theory is wrong. Without Scully’s skepticism and stress testing of Mulder’s theories, many investigations would go down completely wrong paths.

          Then there’s this episode where she finally gets physical evidence of the paranormal. So she contacts a bunch of prominent scientists and arranges for them all to come to the autopsy bay to reveal this invisible man.

          She gets so fucking pumped and excited, but then when she pulls out the table his body has disappeared and she has nothing!

          And she just kind of stammers “Well, he is invisible…” then unsuccessfully gropes around for him while they silently judge her and she dies a little inside.

      Yup, the real world conspiracies are all pretty much out in the open. The ones that are hidden, are not hidden well. This is mostly because being rich and powerful doesn’t make you smart.

        See also: the current US regime, who seemingly can’t imagine their opponents ending up in power when theyre done.

        Also re: every FBI file. I learned a long time ago that a file != a case. If they dont have a file on you, youre not doing enough.
