X-files, Scully shooting things 

Spouse has just embarked on binge-watching X-Files (dunno if old or new version), and I'm reminded of one of the few episodes I watched, the one written by William Gibson, of which I remember basically two scenes.

Mulder, on finding the sekrit lair of whoever and being approached by a strange robot-thing: "ooh, what is this, I don't" *is zapped unconscious*

Scully, in same situation: "oh HELL NO" BANG BANG BANG BANG

X-files, Scully shooting things 

I always loved that dichotomy, that Mulder was the sensitive curious "no but let's hear this out" person, and Scully was the "nope this is bullshit I'ma shoot it now" person.
