WTF? I can't believe that the preference for Mulder is that strong. I've actually been rewatching the series recently, and I think that Scully is one of the greatest characters ever to have graced the small screen. I love Mulder, and the whole show generally (pre-Robert Patrick), but I'm way more in love (OK, fine, lust) with Scully than a grown man should be with a fictional character. In the few run ins I've had with celebrities over the years, I've never once introduced myself, nor gone out of my way to talk to any of them (except for Barry Sanders when I was 8 or 9, but that's a whole other story), but if I ever got to meet Gillian Anderson, I would be in full on fanboy mode, unapologetically stammering, fawning and offering my hand in marriage. At 45 I still find her radiantly attractive, and I'm pretty sure it's because of my being glued to the X-Files as a lad.
