The idea that a couple can't be compelling once together is a hack idea. I can think of plenty of couples that stayed interesting, if not more interesting, when together. Parks and Rec had two that I adored throughout because the writers remembered that what made them interesting during the UST period kept them interesting together (Andy's childlike enthusiasm to April's hatred of everything, Leslie's optimism to Ben's pragmatism). The time for UST is over with Mulder and Scully. I think we know there is no one else in the world for either of them.
That being said, I hope this is just a UST device to give us the grand RST Carter never gave us onscreen during the show's run. If so, then fine. But you better deliver or I will feel cheated by the hours I am spending recapping this series. Sorry. Can't unship what has been shipped on this level.
