X-Files

I recently started watching the X-Files. One disk into the third season I have become very attached to Skully and Mulder. Lately the postal service has had difficulty delivering mail, resulting in delays in Netflix deliveries. When the DVD doesn't arrive I figure Skully and Mulder are investigating some mystery. I curse Mulders name for not letting me spend time with Skully but that's teamwork. No one gets them like I do. There is obvious tension between myself and Skinner. I respect his position and person but sometimes he gets in the way. The problem is he is too normal. He doesn't constantly question his life's purpose, he looks for no reason, he just does his job. I questioned my purpose and reasoned that it is to do my job. I am doomed to be a Skinner. I'm not nearly smart enough to be a Skully and can't be a Mulder because my sister has never been abducted. All that's left is being disliked by both sides and a lot of paperwork.
They have each others backs. They wear suits with shoulder pads that never get dirty. They where long coats that don't get in the way while in pursuit of suspects. The photo above is how I think of them. Strong, suited, and toned in browns. That is why the photo below is so startling. No coats, leather jacket, exposed leg, bright colors; I don't know what to think or how to feel. What are they doing in such badly postured positions?
