yes to everything except--i wasn't too sure about the way the relationship developed chronologically in the movie. it just seemed like after years of it being such a huge huge huge amount of ust that to have him in bed like that--with no introduction of it in the film--i mean when you get the intro of him in the movie--when she goes to his house for the first time--it seems like they've been in touch but haven't seen each other in ages, so it was a little jarring to me that all of a sudden they were in bed together. it was also total wish fulfillment, but i kinda went "whoa" and then spent several minutes trying to retcon it in my brain. that said, that scratchy beard moment was about as perfect as a moment could possibly be, you know? just so real and honest.
i also loved also how their relationship and the faith she needs to have to have that relationship was so mirrored in the christian storyline (funny name huh? </>sarcasm). it seemed to me that father joe's words were for both of them across the board (even though he only said it to her) because for both mulder and scully it's always about faith--faith that he'd find his sister and find the answers he'd always been looking for and faith that she'd feel God again and, for both of them, faith that eventually they'd be able to be together.
oh man i'm totally rambling in your journal! but i have one more thing to say, what i thought was sweet was that this movie was a shipper's dream. yeah the crime was freaky and strange but it really didn't matter what it was or who was doing it (though hello to the sexy in callum rennie! love him!) or anything. it was all about mulder and scully and how they would get from distant point a to close point b. and that's why i loved it too.
ps based on the number of people in the theater i went to today, i think we can consider this franchise pretty well done. and if that's the case, what a swansong!
