Gillian Anderson is such a good actress

She has such "weight" to her acting, such gravatas. So much emotion behind the face, on the face, if she chooses. Not every actor can do that this well. I admire her for it and following her performances. Mitch did really well here, too.

Mulder's gonna be a daddy but he's off with the aliens. my mouth fell open when this was revealed and made me miss Mulder so much more. Skinner is great here because you begin to see just how much Scully and Mulder mean to him.

Totally chocked on the feels. I've liked Skinner since that episode in like season 2 where he's like "fuck it! Opening the X-files again just to piss the peeps off." He's a pretty damned amazing character, and you can tell how much Mulder and Scully mean to him too.

What wonderful actors! They did such a great job on this scene! Aww...Skinner and Scully both need a hug! 😢

I like Skinner's expression at 2:18 because he just KNOWS that the baby is Mulder's and he feels that he lost him. Nice little moment. GA does a pretty cry and her "I have to" about finding Mulder is my favorite part. She does such a quiet, dark delivery of that line and it makes it even more sobering with what comes next.

"I'm pregnant" and I was shocked!!!! I remember the first time my mother and i saw this....we were like frozen, staring at the tv .... like thinking... WHAT?????? BUT........WHAAAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was great...

This acting level is like Mozart music to me...

I think this has to be one of the best performances I've seen on television. The timing, the chemistry, and subtlety is flawless. Gillian is one of few actors I've seen who can do the welling of the eyes or the one tear cry at the precise moment needed for the emotional climax of the scene. This is great work. I worked in the mainstream film & TV industry prior to a large neurosurgery. Now I teach film sometimes and when we get to determining what is good acting, I play some Scully scenes. Gillian is what I call an "eye actor" meaning all she needs is her eyes to convey emotion with no overdone movements, just eyes and lip curls.

that weird sad laugh and blinky expression at the very end - so good! it's such a "question mark" stinger to button up the very end of the season, but it wasn't hokey. she acted it so real.

She was so great in this scene!sad,joy,painful and determination ,all at the same time!God, I love both Scully and GA!

I cannot imagine watching this when it was releasing. God what a ride that must’ve been. And to have this be a season finale?? Crazy.

Skinner is a hero he has always being there for Mulder & Scully they would not have made it this far if not for him

How does GA do that thing where her eyes fill with tears but they never actually fall down her face? Just pretty glistening blue eyes. Plus, this is the first time Skinner kinda loses it himself!

This amazing emotional scene always makes me cry also for its beautiful music in the backround. Perfect performances of GA and MP. Very sad ending of seventh season. :"(

Apparently the last two pages of the Requiem script (aka this scene) were not included in the script for almost the whole shoot. The cast and crew had no idea what was going to happen or if the show was even returning. There was also so much fear about it being leaked. Chris Carter actually didn't finish the scene until literally the day before it was shot. And he had a single copy delivered to the hospital it was being shot in at 10am the next day for the shoot to start at 4pm. Apparently all the cast and crew except Gillian Anderson were shocked by it. But she said that she knew that Scully's pregnancy was coming. Which I think is pretty cool. I like that she was the one that knew the character well enough to figure it out.

IMAGINE if the series ended here (like it almost did).

She’s a very talented actress but she also has such an exquisite profile! 😍

wow! this wonderful clip AND the answer to their xmas gifts!!! thank you guys!!!

They both did such a good job I this scene

I love this whole episode but I hate it, they take mulder out of it just as she's pregnant it's horrible I cry every time I watch it :'( Mulder&scully foreva -3 -3

Scully and mulder

Gilian Anderson é brilhante!!🥰💯💔👩‍🦰

OMG THANKYOU SO MUCH!!! This is my favourite scene like ever

Uno dei momenti più intensi della storia della storia della TV. Lei è meravigliosa, sempre!

It's adorable with happiness that say!!!

I Love this episode!!! 💔💔💔

Love the xfiles please keep making it

WHOSE BABY IS THAT?! (Scully gasps) WHOSE THE MAN, WHO DID THAT TO YOU?!? GATOR'S BXTCHES BETTER BE USING JIMMIES!!!

Skinner faces at 1.28 is crack up LOL XD

Thank you, CityOfAngels9. As always, you rock! :) Oh, and the presents at the end of the Christmas episode are what you probably think they are. Let's just say, the "paramasturbatory illusions" was on target. Mulder's gift was a videotape...lol. Scully's gift was a certain intimate item packaged in cylindrical casing, probably with batteries included. Use your imagination. I do have a request: the last scene in the episode, "Empedocles" from the 8th season. That's a big favorite of mine.

This did shock me.

lol, the heart.

There all good actors

Love Mitch as Skinner

... nice moment for sure, but (sadly) it was the beginning of the 2nd worst plot thread of The X-Files. Chris Carter didn't know how to handle Scully being pregnant, didn't have any idea what to do once the baby was there, and then, nearly 2 decades later, completely botched the "reunion" between William and his parents. Horrible trash all around.

Who told her?? CC once said that this was suspose to be the final scene of the show

Imagine if the show originally ended there😢

Cuando vi este episodio me quede: QUEEEEEEEEEEE

which season?

Season?

What did he see ?

Skinner is the Daddy.

i have this series...she is actually pregnant by an alien

ID DEFO IMPREGNATEHER

Is going to be another smoking man?

I watched this show for years but I guess after the movies I just lost interest. Never saw the last few episodes, remember something about the first episode must never saw the rest.

😒🔫

she looks like cynthia nixon (Miranda from sex and the city)
