What will Mulder and Scully do after Gethsemane and how is Bill Scully involved in all this? “Keeping it in the Family” Part 1 by Gemma Kingsley ([email protected]) Unknown Location Monday 7:30 a.m. (Two weeks after Mulder’s ‘death’) Mulder watched in horror, seemingly frozen to the spot, as Scully continued to move towards the man standing in the shadows. “Scully, no!” he yelled. She gave him a bewildered look, then turned back to watch the other man step into the light. Mulder’s eyes were riveted on the mystery man too. As Bill Scully showed himself, Mulder suddenly found himself able to move again, and he ran towards Scully, grabbing her quickly and thrusting her behind him. Not surprisingly, Scully began to struggle. “Mulder, it’s my brother. What the Hell do you think you’re doing?” she asked irritably. https://x-libris.xf-redux.com/story/keeping-it-in-the-family/ 2/88 x-libris.xf-redux.com Keeping It in the Family I & II by Gemma Kingsley But her brother silenced her. “No, Dana, he’s quite right. The time has come for masks to be shed, for shadows to step into the light. Isn’t that right, Mulder?” Bill asked. “What do you mean?” asked Mulder cautiously. “I mean that the Consortium’s greatest hour is upon us. No longer must we hide in the darkness, pursuing our goals undercover.” Bill explained, then smiled malignantly at Mulder. “Come here.” he insisted. Mulder backed away, keeping a firm grip on Scully. Bill regarded him with seeming amusement. “Oh you needn’t worry Mulder. I wasn’t talking to you. I was speaking to my dearest sister, your precious partner Dana Scully.” “You touch her and I swear I’ll kill you.” Mulder declared. Bill regarded him commiseratingly. “Poor, ignorant Mulder. Always the last to know. You sure did a good job with him, sis.” he said. The seed of doubt had been planted in Mulder’s mind. He glanced at Scully who looked completely shocked, then back to Bill who was still speaking. “Go on, O sister of mine, tell him how you’ve been working against him from the beginning. Tell him how we faked your abduction to make him give up, and when that didn’t work, pretended that you had cancer.” he said. Scully had found her voice. “Bill, what are you doing. If this is a joke then it’s not particularly funny.” Bill shook his head. “You know this is no joke. Come on, Dana, it’s time to tell him the truth. Right before we kill him.” he said, and pulled out his gun, aiming for Mulder’s head. “Bill, what the Hell is going on? Put that away before someone gets hurt.” Scully shouted. “Sis, the charade is over. The game is up. We don’t have to pretend any more.” Bill told her. Scully stared at him disbelievingly, then turned to look at Mulder. She was dismayed at the distrust and suspicion that she saw in his eyes. “Mulder, this is ridiculous. Surely you don’t believe him?” she asked distractedly. “Oh, she deserves an Emmy, doesn’t she?” Bill commented, half to himself. “But for now, say goodbye to your partner, Sis.” He cocked the gun, but as his finger pulled the trigger, Scully threw herself in front of Mulder. Mulder felt her fall against him as the bullet impacted with her chest and caught her in his arms as she collapsed to the ground. “Scully, no!” he screamed. The last thing he heard was Bill Scully cocking his gun again and saying, “Your turn now Mulder.” Bill pulled the trigger, and…… Mulder woke up, sitting up abruptly and almost rolling off the couch. His heart was pounding and sweat was running down his face. He reached for the phone on impulse, wanting to call Scully and reassure himself that she was okay. But then he remembered. He https://x-libris.xf-redux.com/story/keeping-it-in-the-family/ 3/88 x-libris.xf-redux.com Keeping It in the Family I & II by Gemma Kingsley couldn’t. Dead men tell no tales and they don’t make phone calls either. He slumped back down, lying on his side and trying to slow down his racing heart. ‘What the Hell was that about?’, he wondered, thinking about the dream he’d just had. For a start, he wanted to slug the dream-Mulder for doubting Scully even for a second. But what about the rest? Could there really be a glimmer of truth to the suggestion that Bill Scully was working for the Consortium? Mulder hadn’t even met the guy, but he’d felt something strange from him when they spoke on the phone. At the time, Mulder had thought his tone sounded almost satisfied, but had dismissed it because it didn’t make sense. But now? He reached for the phone again, dialing another number that he knew by heart. “Hello?” answered a voice. “Langly, this is Mulder. I need a favour.” he said. “Sure, what can we do for you?” Langly asked. “I need a full background check on Bill Scully Jnr.” Mulder explained. “Scully’s brother?” Langly queried. “What for?” Mulder could hear someone speaking in the background. “What was that?” he asked. “Frohike said he wouldn’t mind being Scully’s brother.” Langly told him, chuckling. Mulder smiled. “Tell him I said to remind him that incest is generally frowned upon.” He waited while Langly relayed the message and heard Frohike guffawing. “So can you do the check?” he asked when Langly got back on the phone. “Yeah sure, no problem.” Langly said. “Is that all?” “Actually, there is one other thing.” Mulder told him, remembering what Bill Scully had said about the cancer in the other part of his dream. “I want to know the name of Scully’s doctor. The first one she saw, before Dr Scanlon. And when you find out who he was, do a background check on him too.” “Okey dokee.” Langly said. “So that’s one name-finding and two background checks.” he reiterated. “Just put it on my tab. I’ll call back this afternoon to see if you’ve got anything.” he said, then hung up. ‘Now what?’ Mulder thought to himself. Another empty day lay before him. Another day to be spent in randomly surfing the Internet, or trying to gain any more of the repressed memories that had been released in his recent treatment by Dr Goldstein, and most of all wondering what Scully was doing right now and wishing that he could be there with her. Lone Gunmen’s Headquarters Monday 1 p.m. “Frohike, Byers, get a load of this.” Langly exclaimed suddenly. The two hurried over and looked at the computer screen over his shoulder. “Whoa, Langly, where’d you find that?” Frohike asked. “I grabbed it off a temporary warez site that deals in pirated military software. Some of it’s https://x-libris.xf-redux.com/story/keeping-it-in-the-family/ 4/88 x-libris.xf-redux.com Keeping It in the Family I & II by Gemma Kingsley encoded, and I can’t figure it out, but there are some names and dates here too.” he told them, scrolling slowly down the list. Byers jabbed his finger at the screen. “Look. There’s Krycek. A. Krycek – 94/8 FWM – failed – 95/4 WM – succeeded – 95/4 MS – succeeded – 96/11 FWM – failed “Oh my God.” Langly said. “The first date was when he was Mulder’s partner. And the others must be the deaths of Mulder’s father and Scully’s sister. And the last one was when they were in Russia. Mulder has to see this.” “And look.” Byers continued. “M. Covarrubius. Didn’t Mulder say that his latest source was called something Covarrubius? And shit, W. Skinner. Do you think Mulder knows about that?” “I don’t know.” Frohike said. “But he will very soon if we have anything to say about it. Is Bill Scully’s name there?” “Dunno, let me finish looking.” Langly said. “Hang on, yes there you go.” W. Scully Jnr. – 94/8 DKS – succeeded – 97/5 DKS/FWM – succeeded “Well I guess that means they believe he’s really dead.” Byers said. “What do you reckon the other date was from?” “Wasn’t that when Scully was abducted?” Frohike said. “Oh my god, it was too. Do you think Bill Scully was involved in that? How could you let that happen to anyone, let alone your own sister?” Langly asked. “I don’t know.” Byers answered.

  • Vigilantes, Incorporated: an Ideological Economy of the Superhero Blockbuster
    VIGILANTES, INCORPORATED: AN IDEOLOGICAL ECONOMY OF THE SUPERHERO BLOCKBUSTER BY EZRA CLAVERIE DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English with a minor in Cinema Studies in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2016 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor José B. Capino, Chair Associate Professor Jim Hansen Associate Professor Lilya Kaganovsky Associate Professor Robert A. Rushing Professor Frank Grady,Department of English, University of Missouri, Saint Louis ii ABSTRACT Since 2000, the comic-book superhero blockbuster has become Hollywood’s most salient genre. “Heroes, Incorporated: A Political Economy of the Superhero Blockbuster” examines these seemingly reactionary fantasies of American power, analyzing their role in transmedia storytelling for a conglomerated and world-spanning entertainment industry. This dissertation argues that for all their apparent investment in the status quo and the hegemony of white men, superhero blockbusters actually reveal the disruptive and inhuman logic of capital, which drives both technological and cultural change. Although focused on the superhero film from 2000 to 2015, this project also considers the print and electronic media across which conglomerates extend their franchises. It thereby contributes to the materialist study of popular culture and transmedia adaptation, showing how 21st century Hollywood adapts old media for new platforms, technologies, and audiences. The first chapter traces the ideology of these films to their commercial roots, arguing that screen superheroes function as allegories of intellectual property. The hero’s “brand” identity signifies stability, even as the character’s corporate owners continually revise him (rarely her).

All those with page numbers after them come from A Triduum Sourcebook – Volume I, compiled by Joan Halmo and Frank Henderson, and published by Liturgy Training Publications, Chicago: 1996. Then Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane; and he said to his disciples, ‘Sit here while I go over there and pray.’ He took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be grieved and agitated. Then he said to them, ‘I am deeply grieved, even to death; remain here, and stay awake with me.’ And going a little Farther, he threw himselF on the ground and prayed, ‘My Father, iF it is possible, let this cup pass From me; yet not what I want but what you want.’ Then he came to the disciples and Found them sleeping; and he said to Peter, ‘So, could you not stay awake with me one hour? Stay awake and pray that you may not come into the time of trial; the spirit indeed is willing, but the Flesh is weak.’ Again he went away For the second time and prayed, ‘My Father, iF this cannot pass unless I drink it, your will be done.’ Again he came and Found them sleeping, For their eyes were heavy. So leaving them again, he went away and prayed For the third time, saying the same words.

  • The X-Files, I Want to Believe: Mundo Posible O Mundo Presente?*
    Universidad de Medellín Conspiración y nuda vida ¿The X-Files, I want to believe: mundo posible o mundo presente?* Luis Nitrihual Valdebenito** Juan Manuel Fierro Bustos*** Carlos Reyes Velásquez**** Francisco Henríquez Morales***** Recibido: 2017-04-22 Enviado a pares: 2017-05-25 Aprobado por pares: 2017-07-18 Aceptado: 2017-07-25 DOI: 10.22395/angr.v16n31a3 Resumen El presente artículo problematiza, en general, la conspiración como una estructura política y narrativa fundamental de la Modernidad. A través de un análisis fílmico de la serie The X-Files, I want to believe, planteamos como objetivo revelar como el tópico de la conspiración, en un nivel superficial, es un articulador de la trama de la serie, pero en un nivel profundo y amplio entendemos la conspiración como una estrategia articuladora de la vida moderna y, en este marco, del control biopolítico. Así entonces, el artículo muestra cómo la estructura argumentativa de la serie propone tramas y personajes a través de los cuales el poder gubernamental interviene los cuerpos y el espacio, quita y permite la vida, distorsiona la realidad, informa y desinforma. Todo es parte de una estrategia global de confabulación y ocultamiento de la verdad. En conclusión, la serie de televisión permite observar los regímenes de hipervisibilidad e intervención de la máquina gubernamental actual y es, en esta medida, un punto de entrada para reconocer problemas sociales y políticos de total actualidad. Palabras clave: series de televisión; cine; conspiración; nuda vida; control; Archivos Secretos X; estado de excepción; biopolítica. * Artículo producto de los proyectos de investigación FONDECYT n.º 1141289 y FONDECYT n.º 1161253, PLU n.º 1110 y PLU n.º 120010 financiados por el Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología.
