Yes – I also agree with you. I think that he just doesn't understand how to have them together. I don't understand why he feels that they have to always be a part. Yes they were the poster people for unresolved sexual tension but TV has moved on since then. And they have moved on since then. I find I Want To Believe frustrating in so many ways and one of those ways was the fact that they still had to be so separate. Their separation made sense throughout many seasons of the programme but at that point – in that film – it made much less sense and it just seemed painful and upsetting.
Maybe that seems silly, but I find it upsetting but I really hate to see characters that I'm invested in going through something difficult and painful that doesn't make sense. And the thing I liked least about the last film was what they did to Scully. She was completely broken – and their representation of their relationship was a huge part of that – and I did not want to see that. Can he not give them a difficult life but together. Can there not be strength for them in that they are bonded together when all the world is crushing them? I guess not.
