Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.

Octy posted:

Does Scully earn more money because of her medical degree? Her place is so much bigger and nicer than Mulder's.

I'm sorry. In all the years I've watched this show this is the first thread on it I've seen in forums I frequent. I've had nowhere else to go to ask my inane questions. :(

I'm pretty sure it's more of a character thing and a nice illustration of their differences. With all the weird poo poo she sees on a regular basis, Scully's place is meant to be a shelter and an abode of normalcy, in which she can (pretend to) be a conventionally successful government operative. Mulder, on the other hand, just doesn't care about having a nice place, it's just a base of operations for him. It's reiterated a lot that he has no life because he's too busy pursuing THE TRUTH to give a poo poo about material comforts, living space, decoration, or keeping tidy in anything but his files.

Or his porn collection. One of the best things about Mulder is that for all the charm and secret agent training, he can be a complete loving goon sometimes :allears:
