Here via Amal and the crack van! This is lovely! It slams back and forth between matter-of-fact and creepy. And Mulder never does manage to establish himself as beyond-a-doubt *real* -- he's established that he's Mulder, but not that he has an existence outside Scully's head, because blinking lights? So not proof.
That's what brings the creep factor for me. Not "Mulder is dead, Scully is still attached at the hip to him", but "Scully is attached at the hip to a Mulder who may or may not be a figment of her imagination".
Dear Mulder, don't you know the first thing about haunting? First proof: something only you would know. Second proof: something that you would know, but she doesn't, that she can verify in real life.
