Redux II


Mulder with his usual bad sense of what's proper, chooses the ICU as a place to try to snap his losing streak in fights against Skinner.

Skinner:  Word of advice from a friend, keep playing it the way you are.

Mulder:  Thanks, buddy.

Skinner:  Hey, right now, you need a buddy, you need all the help you can get.

Mulder:  You should have mentioned that at the hospital when you were hauling my ass off!

Like that would have changed how Mulder reacted one bit.  Puh-Shaw!  Once Mulder goes off on a tear it's damn hard to reel him in.

General Punkesque Behavior

Despite the less than helpful actions of the hospital staff yelling is not a good idea.  He's lucky he didn't end up on the psych ward.

Apparently Mulder never learned not to answer a question with another question.  In the whole time Mulder was in Blevin's office with Blevins, that other guy, and Skinner he never makes an actual statement.

Mulder's sarcasm toward Skinner in the hallway is ill advised.  With Scully in the hospital Skinner is his only ally.

Unprofessional Behavior

Showing up late at the review panel meeting is not a good move.

Criminal Activity

Assault and battery:  Has Mulder ever been on the winning side of a physical confrontation with Skinner?  Well the ICU was a bad choice of locations to attempt to break this streak.
