When it comes to Hutchison I'm like Mr. Mulder. I want to believe. But I can't quite.

Seemed to me that Mulder did believe, and it was Dana Skully who was the skeptic.

MULDER: Dana. After all you've seen, after all the evidence, why can't you believe?
SCULLY: I'm afraid. I'm afraid to believe.

"Beyond the Sea", right? The episode with Brad Dourif as the psychic serial killer. I used to be an X-phile, you know. At least up to season five or something. I really hope they didn't go into the Nazi UFO myth later...

Btw., I think Morgan and Wong should have written the movie scripts, if anyone. Just for the record.

Oh and I think you're both right. In some episodes, Agent Mulder was the sceptic (remember the Stupendous Yappi?)

I keep picturing the classic hovering disk photo in Mulder's office. But I think you are correct sir ! Mulder's chief source of dissonance seemed to be the ET vs breakaway view of the ongoing weirdness, or some combination thereof.

That's actually one of Billy Meier's alleged UFO photos if I'm not mistaken. If I remember right, Mulder's view that ET's weren't real only lasted something like one season, if not only a few episodes. During that time his view was that the government and the military were responsible for the UFO phenomenon. At least that's how I remember it...

The X-Files writers did a masterful job in creating a passionately confused and tormented protagonist in the person of Fox Mulder. And somehow one we cared about.
