The X-Files

The popular and iconic show, The X-Files, follows FBI agents Mulder (David Duchovny) and Scully (Gillian Anderson) as they attempt to explain supernatural phenomena. With a slight underlying current of romantic tension between the two, fans of the show were rooting for them to become an item. 

It wasn’t meant to be, as the show’s creator was dead set against the typical co-workers-turned-lovers plot theme. So, when Mulder and Scully share a passionate kiss in an alternate universe scene in season seven, fans got a small teaser of what it would look like if the two characters became romantically-linked.
