Mulder: Is there any indication or suspicion that Flight 549 may have been forced down? Mike Millar: Forced down? Mulder: Uh, you can clearly here the pilot say "intercept" on the recording. Mike Millar: We have absolutely no data to support that, no confirmation of other aircraft in the area. Unless you have something. Mulder: No, no, but there was a passenger on that plane who was, uh, well-known to our government as an alien abductee. |
Talk about your bad timing. Of all the times to start talking about abductions this had to be one of the worst ones to choose.
Why does Mulder insist on talking about alien abductions at the most inopportune times? I can't think of a less appropriate time to start in on abductions than at the briefing right before the crash investigation team were to go out to the crash site. Better to talk of someone who feared for his life and government conspiracies. At least that wouldn't have sounded quite as crazy.
As usual Mulder never lets Scully get a word in edgewise. He interrupted her twice at the hangar where the plane wreckage was being pieced together.
I understand that Mr. Millar had been acting rather prick-like but it still wasn't wise to be sarcastic toward him at the motel. Mulder still had to work with the man.
Now I could be remembering this wrong but I'm pretty sure that one is supposed to adhere to the buddy system when scuba diving. Of course Mr. "I got a quarter off of the deep end at the 'Y' pool" wouldn't know that.
