HeвЂ™s uncertain whether Scully will be at his side or even on his side, so heвЂ™s taking matters into his own hands, searching for evidence in his typical unsanctioned way. In Three Words, Mulder has returned from the dead to a life heвЂ™s not sure he recognizes. He doesnвЂ™t respond to Scully with words, but we see the conflict play out across his face. Mulder believes Jeffrey SpenderвЂ™s request for assistance is a set up, but thereвЂ™s also a chance to learn what happened to Scully on the bridge. In this scene from Two Fathers, Scully is trying to convince Mulder to look into what happened to Cassandra Spender. Her words hit him profoundly, and we see in MulderвЂ™s expression not only frustration that he canвЂ™t achieve what he wants to but also realization that Scully is right. Scully gently suggests that maybe that struggle is the point of our existence and he shouldnвЂ™t try to wish that away. In Je Souhaite, Mulder has one final wish, and he wants to use it to solve all the worldвЂ™s problems. He averts his eyes and draws in his lips, conveying his intent to keep this information to himself. Mulder canвЂ™t hope to explain his relationship with Scully, and he really has no intention of trying. In Chimera, Ellen Adderly asks Mulder if he has a significant other, encouraging him not to miss out on home and family. The way he purses his lips, clenches his jaw, and swallows communicates his struggle to process all the emotions heвЂ™s feeling. This moment when heвЂ™s reading her journal is so painful for him. Mulder finally learns SamanthaвЂ™s fate in Closure. So, as we see with this expression, heвЂ™ll go along for the ride and see what comes of it. As strange as they seem, there might be something to them. Dales seemsвЂ¦prone to confabulationвЂ¦but Mulder canвЂ™t quite bring himself to dismiss the manвЂ™s stories. Mulder visits Arthur Dales in The Unnatural with questions about aliens and government conspiracies. You see it in his eyes and the little tilt of his lips.

Sorry) 5ДЄt the end of Fight the Future, Mulder realizes that Scully knows they canвЂ™t be defeated as long as theyвЂ™re in it together. (This one might make me a little emotional and melodramatic. His eyes lock oh her, he lifts his face, and he takes a breath, letting us know heвЂ™s found the answer heвЂ™s looking for. In Fight the Future, Mulder is in the middle of a conversation with the evidence custodian when he spots Scully. His eyes return to hers as he makes his decision. He wants to believe, but he hesitates just long enough to search her face for any sign that he shouldnвЂ™t trust her. She agrees with MulderвЂ™s theory and declares that sheвЂ™s willing to put it in her report. 3ДЄt this moment in the Pilot, Scully seems to be all in. His eyes search her face even as his lips canвЂ™t help but lift into the slightest smile. HeвЂ™s pleased with himself, but he needs to know ScullyвЂ™s on the same page. TheyвЂ™ve been dancing around their feelings for each other for a long time and Mulder took a bold leap forward. TheyвЂ™ve just kissed for the first time in Millennium. And we get all that from the crease between his eyebrows. He misjudged a situation, was really sort of blindsided, and heвЂ™s still not sure what happened. Mulder is feeling unsure of himself and slightly embarrassed. This expression in Alpha might be my favorite. So, in no particular order, here are 15 of my favorite of MulderвЂ™s Microexpressions. But here I want to focus on the truly small details that say so much. My thread took on a life of its own and I ended up including some rather broad facial gestures in addition to the microexpressions, just because theyвЂ™re so fun and really show DavidвЂ™s comedic bent. I strongly disagree with that criticism and wanted to highlight just how much heвЂ™s able to communicate with his face. But GillianвЂ™s acting brilliance is more universally recognized, while David gets criticized for being wooden and expressionless. By focusing on Mulder I am in no way discounting the importance or quality of Gillian AndersonвЂ™s skills as an actor and her ability to deliver withering glares, poignant glances, a perfect single tear, and ScullyвЂ™s patented skeptical eyebrow lift. My intent was to draw attention to David DuchovnyвЂ™s acting abilities. The look conveys so much itвЂ™s really quite artful.ДЄnd I had several other gifs showing tiny movements which speak louder than words, so I decided to make a Twitter thread. We see recognition but also a bit of caution. With just a tiny tilt of the jaw and a blink, we can see that Mulder is surprised and intrigued. Anyway, I came across a gif I had made of Mulder when he first sees Diana Fowley in The End.
