The X-Files - Scully meets Mulder for the first time [1x01 - Pilot]

[micwilli]

For those who want to know, this scene was shot in the basement of the CBC main studios in Vancouver…..and it was day 1 of shooting for the pilot episode. We did reshoot part of it later but if memory serves, it was the slideshow section. Oh and this was shot after Scully met up with her boyfriend/fiancé who was a news producer…which is why we were at CBC…we needed a news studio control room.

Their chemistry is unmatched, and the cases are fascinating. One of the best series' ever produced!

30 years later, still one of the best character introductions in television history. A thousand fanfic works can be traced to this moment... and even for other shows and characters!!!

Her smile at the end when she finally got to really meet him. She knew she could trust him. What a perfect match.

I admired Scully. As a girl, I wanted to be smart as her. She was a prudent, intelligent and professional woman

[mellowtrax]

This is how the greatest adventure began!

X-Files was the best show I ever had the pleasure to watch. The chemistry between Mulder and Scully, the stories, the characters, just everything about the show was spot on every time. I miss it so much.

The day the best television show ever created was born. Nothing has made a dent on it since not even to this day.... Totally untouchable.

Scully definitely had more than a whiff of Clarice Starling to her in the early days. Later she morphed into her own thing.

[andydidyouhear]

That actress has the best diction I've ever heard.

[troyandrew]

The birth of an iconic team in the pilot episode of a masterpiece

[cosmikyogi]

The best duo in all of television. Agent Scully & Agent Mulder become a house hold names. The truth is definitely out there.

[chemicalspore]

When this show was on the air, my friends would go out every Friday night. I was at home, glued to the TV watching this gem.

[madamx]

Day one - The chemistry was clear and the height difference was considerable

[tonyc]

It's been written that Mulder fell for Scully immediately and you can see his expression when he first sees her. His eyes are fixed on her and his mouth opens slightly. He is smitten for sure.

[walterheisenberg]

What’s ironic here is that in real life it’s Gillian Anderson believes in extraterrestrials while David Duchovny does not.

[tiagombg]

Oh the atmosphere in this is brilliant. Scully as a doctor chasing Mulder's ideas of something beyond the realm of Science. Case after case through the entire show. This is absolutely the best show ever done.

[smokeynewton]

Scully is making the assumption that our science is complete and there's nothing new to learn.

Happy 30th anniversary to THE X-FILES! The pilot episode aired Sept 10th, 1993

Mulder lays out his innermost self: “I have plenty of theories.”
