Season 5 Episode 6 - The Post-Modern PrometheusĮveryone knows “The Post-Modern Prometheus.” It’s that comic book one that’s in black and white, with the gentle monsters and the Cher soundtrack and…well, you know the story. The culmination of Scully’s chemo and Mulder’s investigation is a long, comforting hug that speaks to the now undeniable closeness of the pair after four years of working together. Mulder enters himself into a desperate race to try and save Scully from what Mulder believes is a cancer connected to a number of other women that had been abducted, as Scully once had been. Scully’s fresh cancer diagnosis has put everything into a tailspin, from Scully’s outlook on life to their work on the X-Files themselves. This is easily one of the hardest episodes of The X-Files to watch. There’s nothing inherently romantic about the scene at all, but Mulder reassuring Scully that the bumps on her back are mosquito bites and therefore not related to the sinister case they’re working on remains one of the most unassumingly intimate scenes in the show’s history. The pilot? But who can forget that iconic motel room scene, lit by actual candlelight and paired with Scully in a robe? Here are 10 moments that brought that pesky (and wonderful) UST to life. UST (or Unresolved Sexual Tension) is a hallmark of television but never was it more iconic than with the endless back and forth between The X-Files‘ Fox Mulder and Dana Scully. Ah, “UST.” The bane and bread and butter of shippers everywhere.
