Scully eventually ended up being genuinely wrong most of the time. The show didn’t want to drop her “scientific straightman” role as Mulder’s foil, but damn the evidence became stacked for the paranormal
That’s one reason why I’m not a fan of the show, it was in a long list of a lot of 90’s media that portrayed skeptics as “naive” and “unwilling to accept evidence”, and believers as open minded and curious when in reality it’s the other way around.
A big reason I didn’t leave spirituality for awhile was, well, I was brought up by media to think of skeptics as close-minded, arrogant, and rude… And Reddit Atheists don’t do much to dispell that notion.
Took awhile to realize, the truth really is not out there.
I’m glad I grew up watching Scooby-Doo where the believers are just being duped by scammers and there’s always a rational, scientific explanation for everything (except in the movies).
