"The relationship was never played [before this]. It was never ... the predominant aspect of the show as written. It was something that was unspoken. I think it remains that way. I personally don't want to Mulder and Scully sitting in couples' therapy; that's not what the show is. You can find that on other shows.”
The actor also revealed that he’d be willing to return again to the series, but first he wants to see how the new miniseries turns out. "My sense is they're really good, but I haven't seen [them all]," he said. "[And] Chris (Carter, writer) says it depends on David and Gillian. David says it depends on Chris and Gillian. Gillian says it depends on Chris and David. That's where we're at.”
However Duchovny would prefer a smaller number of episodes, like the new Fox miniseries, rather than a full series once again. "Thirteen [episodes] is a little much," Duchovny added. "It would have to be the kind of thing where Chris would come to me and say, 'I have this great vision for 12 or 10 or eight or six.' It's not the number, it's whether or not the number services the story.”
