“I didn’t want this to be another Moonlighting. I didn’t want the relationship to come before the cases…I think the best kind of sexual tension is when you put a smart man and a smart woman in a room: You’ve got immediate sexual tension, no matter if it’s romantic [or not]. There’s a tension there. And I think that’s what we have with Mulder and Scully. I think there’s a mutual repsect, a mutual passion to solve these cases. And I think that people have responded to that.” Chris Carter.
