   Excellent points about Scully's and Mulder's homes. Scully's home is invaded   
   by Monster #2, I believe. That'd be Eugene Victor Tooms, who is sort of the   
   default "monster" in The X-Files (mutant, deficient in some nutrient he can   
   only get by killing    
   people, lives by instinct, emerges every few decades to kill before going into   
   hibernation). Scully's home becomes the target of all the best monsters in the   
   series. When they have a really good monster, they know it, and save it for   
   Scully. Because    
   going after Scully is attacking the "soul" of the show (at least after season   
   3 or so, before that it seemed like Carter was trying to make Scully a   
   temporary character). The best example of this is Donnie "Is your hair normal   
   or dry?" Pfaster, if you    
   ask me. That was very early in the show. In fact, I would guess her   
   performance in that episode is what saved her character on the show.   
      
   I think the show itself says everything about "home" it needs to in the   
   episode "Home" (season 4, episode 2).
