Actually guys, I started watching in mid-season 2. I then caught up on reruns and the VHS releases got me up to date. So I saw the pilot much later, I had read about the show and saw good reviews but hesitated since it was on Fox. I thought it might be really corny. ut I gave in and watched and was hooked.

I would like to hear CC or any of the staff say when the "deed" happened. Det's probably right that it was "all things". My problem is that the week after there were no indications of romantic involvement between them. Although the show never shows us their complete personal lives, it showed quite a bit in the early years. We meet their families and saw some of their family members die and personal crisis galore. To suddenly say the liason, the baby's father, what happened between Existence and Nothing Important... is not to be shown for the mystery of it all doesn't wash with me. The mysteries are their cases, not their personal lives (unless the 2 intersect like the Samantha storyline).

There are things the show never addressed that could have been good subplots. Too bad they try to keep mytharc eps separate from the one shots. I think subplots could have been mentioned even in one off eps, the fan base is there to pick it up. One of these could have been M/S getting closer together and then some kind of FBI review come in and says "male and female partners can't be romantically involved" so they have to keep it on the down/low (as the homeboys say). They'd be good at it since they hid so much from their bosses, this'd be just one more thing. It'd be funny since they'd be in the office or at a motel on a case and one of them would want to get frisky and the other would be "no, come on, be serious now!"

Another unfollowed story to me was what did the press think of M/S or the very existence of the X-Files? We did have some interest in Jose Chung and Hollywood A.D. A funny ep could have had a National Inquierer type guy following them around. Or what about a reporter wondering why the government "wastes taxpayer money on these ridiculous investigations". Or just the fact that M/S are federal agents at the scene of murders and other terrible events and no press are clamering for interviews. Would Mulder say to them "aliens did this" or "no comment"? Always wondered about that.
