I mentioned on the MSR board that Rita Kempley's review in the Washington Post had an interesting analogy between Lily Bart and Dana Scully. Here's the exact quote:

++++++++++
Critics have expressed amazement at Anderson's rich, vivid portrayal. However, if you put her "X-Files" character, Dana Scully, in a corset and served her a cup of tea, she wouldn't be so different from the reserved, resolute Lily. Both women are bound by -- and reluctant to defy -- convention (in Scully's case, the strictures of the FBI) and both are easy marks when it comes to inscrutable, irony-impaired, noncommittal men.
++++++++++

I don't know that I'd call Mulder "irony-impaired" but I thought it was an interesting comparison.
