"At the beginning Scully was much more sceptical than she is now"

This quote by Gillian Anderson is describing her character Dana Scully from the popular television show The X-Files. At the start of the show, Scully was an extremely hesitant FBI representative who was designated to investigate paranormal cases together with her partner Fox Mulder. She was frequently the voice of reason and logic, often questioning Mulder's theories and conclusions. However, as the program progressed, Scully's uncertainty began to wane and she ended up being more open up to the possibility of the paranormal. She started to accept the evidence that Mulder presented and even started to think in a few of the more over-the-top theories. This quote is a testimony to the character advancement that Scully went through throughout the show, and how her beliefs and outlook altered gradually.
