XF 201: Day 62, 3x13 Syzygy

Watching Mulder and Scully snip at each other in this episode is like watching your parents fight - intensely uncomfortable and WRONG and all you want to do is figure out how to fix it and make them go back to normal, dammit. It does have some pretty great lines, though.

"Sure. Fine. Whatever."

"I find your conduct and comportment in this investigation not just alarming, but highly objectionable... WHAT ARE YOU DOING??"

"Why do you always have to drive? Because you're the guy? Because you're the big macho man?" "No, I was just never sure your little feet could reach the pedals."

Also the moment it ticks to midnight, and they're right back in sync, is just so satisfying.

In case it's not obvious, I enjoy the Mulder/Scully dynamic in this episode more than the casefile itself, which is sort of like Heathers meets that episode of the Twilight Zone with that scary kid who can kill you with his brain. Not that that aspect isn't enjoyable, but it felt like the Teri/Margi story was merely a vehicle for M&S to bitch at each other and for the writers to explore some aspects of the characters we don't usually get to see.
