Back with the fact that blow my mind a few weeks ago (Dana scully is the same age now as Maggie scully was in 1993 or 1994 when Dana was abducted in Duane Barry)
I did some research and found that according to script Maggie Scully was 58 at beyond the sea (1x13) so when Dana abduction happened in Duane Barry (2x5) Maggie must be 59-60, give it or take.
(If she was 58 at beyond the sea that would mean she was born in 1935??? And that she died at age 79-81??? in Home again 10x4)
in 2023 Dana Scully turned 59 years old, more less, the same age her mother was when her abduction happened.
And if you want your heart broken you can acknowledge the fact that if emily lived she would’ve been 29 also this year 2023, same age her mom (Dana scully) was when she was abducted.
thinking about maggie looking up at mulder from her deathbed, grabbing his hand, directing her final words to him, rather than her daughter. 20 years after she stepped in between him and a gun, wanting to leave him with something. her grandbaby’s father. how mulder brings up scully’s coma, but for those 3 months “back in the day,” it was him and maggie. it was him and maggie at the crime scene and on the bench outside the fbi and choosing gravestones. how he was always invited by her. “this is a moment for the family, but you can join us.” so many decades of phone calls, check-ins, the way that in wetwired when he calls and she doesn’t answer, he knows. the inherent connection that comes with knowing your closest person’s closest person: two emergency contacts, two people who always have to be notified, two people who are always at the side of a hospital bed or funeral or event. two people who know what “i’m fine” means, what an eye roll means, what a nosebleed means. closeness in the periphery.
Don't mind me just being kept awake at night by the "apparently not much if she just threw it out with the trash" "I need to believe that we didn't treat him like trash" home / home again parallel
