Gillian Anderson and Scully
Just by chance, I caught Gillian Anderson’s appearance on The Tonight Show Tuesday night. Years ago, I was the owner of three VCRs and would have the XF cast’s scheduled appearances diagrammed and outlined in my planner. I’m thinking that I should start doing that again.
It was such fun to see her in an interview once more. During the rewatch of “Milagro,” I kept saying, “Oh, I forgot about this.” (That post will go live on Friday.) Of all the episodes in the set, I probably watched “Milagro” the least number of times. The same thing happened when I was watching Gillian Anderson on the talk show. I had completely forgotten just how goofy, joyful, and off-the-cuff she is.
Watching her, I now remember how dryly funny and whip-smart David Duchovny is in his talk show interviews. So I have found their appearance information and written it in my planner.
I have also been pointed to a great Salon.com article on the coolness of Scully. Everyone’s experience is unique, but Rebecca Traister covers many of the reasons why Special Agent Dana Scully was (and I hope is) just so awesome.
