Jeremiah Smith: They know where to find us. They'll be waiting for us. Mulder: Who? Jeremiah Smith: Your government men. They'll be waiting at the hospital with your mother. Mulder: What can they do? We're working in the light. They, they can't stop us without exposure, without consequence. |
Of course they can Mulder where have you been all these years? I swear Mulder must have someone watching over him because Mulder survives in spite of his own stupidity and that can only happen due to outside help.
Now that's concern for you: Mulder leaves Scully alone at the entrance of what appears to be an abandoned warehouse with no way of defending herself telling her about the Alien Bounty Hunter. "He doesn't want to hurt you. You can't use your gun!" How exactly is he so sure that the Alien Bounty Hunter will just ignore her?
In a smooth move which Quantico won't be taking credit for, Mulder doesn't even check to make sure that the Alien Bounty Hunter is actually dead before ditching Scully and leaving her alone with him.
Mulder is a lousy shot with a gun and a plam.
In the more blatant of the two ditches Mulder attempts in the first 15 minutes of the episode, Mulder just runs off and hops a boat with Jeremiah Smith without so much as a goodbye. In the process, he leaves Scully to deal with the mess of a dead body. (Which as we all know turns out to be not as dead as Mulder thought it was.)
Mulder has balls! He ditches Scully then has the nerve to ask her where she is. Then it that wasn't galling enough, he continues to ask her why she is where he left her. To add further insult to injury he then proceeds to ask her to cover his tracks by hiding his entry into Canada. Nerve!
Interrupting Scully: Again. Mulder doesn't seem to be much into letting anyone else finish a thought. It might have bought him some time from the Alien Bounty Hunter if he'd listen for one lousy moment.
Running out of gas: How do you let a man who's driving you to the middle of nowhere run out of gas? Wasn't anyone looking at the gas gauge?
Personally, I don't think it's wise to go traipsing through bushes that someone just told you your botanists would know nothing about. Granted it turned out to be Ginseng which isn't harmful but Mulder didn't know that when he ran through them.
What the hell is wrong with Mulder? He drops a honeycomb on the Alien Bounty Hunter and as he's leaving he turns around to watch the angry bees fly around the flailing Alien Bounty Hunter. Why? I don't care how much gasoline you douse on yourself I doubt it'd be much protection should those bees decide to go after him.
Okay, so Mulder needed protection for the two clones he was traveling with. He's driving to get away from the Alien Bounty Hunter and he needs Scully to help him so he stops at a pay phone in the middle of nowhere. Why? Did he lose his cell phone again? Did he leave it in the other car? What happened to the cell phone and why didn't he have it on him as he usually would?
