Fox Mulder is my favourite character on The X-Files, and quite possibly my favourite character ever. What is it about him that I find so fascinating? It's kind of hard to put into words. So, in that case, I guess I'll do a picspam!
The theme of the picspam, as much as there is one, is the wonderful quirkiness of Mulder:
Sadly, Mulder, you're not a superhero.
Can't read my, can't read my, no you can't read my panic face... (sorry, I had to)
I'm not really a fan of this episode, but this screencap just kills me.
Finally, I'll leave you with some quotes from other characters, talking about Mulder:
He had a nickname at the academy... Spooky Mulder. - Scully, "Pilot"
He's a jerk. He's not a jerk, he's um, he's obsessed with his work. - Scully, "Jersey Devil"
That’s why we like you, Mulder, your ideas are weirder than ours. - Byers, "EBE"
I have never met anyone so passionate and dedicated to a belief as you. It’s so intense that sometimes it’s blinding. - Scully, "EBE"
I've taken in your all-American features, your dour demeanor, your unimaginative necktie design... ...and concluded that you work for the government. An F.B.I. agent. But do you see the tragedy here? I have mistakenly reduced you to a stereotype. A caricature. Instead of regarding you as a specific, unique individual. - Mr. Nutt, "Humbug"
I'm just constantly amazed by you.. you're working down here in the basement, sifting through files and transmissions that any other agent would just throw away in the garbage. You're in the basement because they're afraid of you, of your relentlessness and because they know that they could drop you in the middle of the desert, and tell you the truth is out there, and you would ask them for a shovel! - Scully, "Piper Maru"
...the other one... the tall, lanky one... his face was so blank and expressionless. He didn't even seem human. I, I think he was a mandroid. - Blaine Faulkner, "Jose Chung's 'From Outer Space'"
It's funny, I just realized something... how much you're like Ahab. You're so consumed by your personal vengeance against life, whether it be its inherent cruelties or mysteries, everything takes on a warped significance to fit your megalomaniacal cosmology... It's the truth or a white whale. What difference does it make? I mean, both obsessions are impossible to capture, and trying to do so will only leave you dead along with everyone else you bring with you. You know Mulder, you are Ahab. - Scully, "Quagmire"
I'm sorry, but this is like good cop, insane cop. - Rob Roberts, "Hungry"
Mulder, you say that you've failed but you only fail if you give up. And I know you -- you can't give up. It's what I saw in you when we first met. - Scully, "The Truth"
