->I rather like the way the writers paint Mulder as [[CassandraTruth a raving lunatic]] who is dogging the footsteps of [[WoundedGazelleGambit poor innocent Eugene Victor Tooms]]. I began sinking into my seat with horror as Mulder stood up in front of a court of law and started gibbering on about [[YouHaveToBelieveMe a liver eating mutant who is a danger to the public!]] Suddenly with crystal clarity I can see why perhaps Scully’s approach to quietly dealing with these paranormal investigations and then not telling anyone about them makes sense. In this setting, Mulder is a complete joke and it's enough to make you cringe watching him embarrass himself publicly like this. Mulder’s testimony that should have convicted Tooms (because it is the truth) is what ultimately frees him... Skinner informs us of what we always suspected; that Mulder was [[ICouldaBeenAContender highly regarded and expect to go on to great things]] before the X-Files consumed his life.
