I have to admit that I can't really make out who/what's in the icon or what they are doing. Could you describe it?

It's Mulder and Scully at the end of "The Unnatural," playing baseball. The first pic has Mulder at bat and Scully approaching from behind the fence. In the upper right he's wrapped around her, teaching her to bat.

Tell me, have you seen the episode? Do you know XF well? Does it make a difference for comprehension.

Then again, I suppose it doesn't matter, I mean, I'd want it to make sense on its own merits.

Thanks! Any suggestions?

I have seen the episode, but it's been a while. I have been an X-Files fan but not as my major fandom (though I've read a *lot* of NoRomo and Mulder-centric XF fanfic in 1998 and watched all of the show up to and including season 7, and even most of season 8, I just finally gave up with season 9), but even if I like a show I don't rewatch it often.

For me the icon is just too dark and maybe to much overlays to recognize much. Besides the text I couldn't make out much more than a man standing in the foreground to the left maybe holding something, a face hovering in the background in the middle and a smallish figure in the background to the right, and a blotch in the upper right corner. I didn't even recognize that blotch were two humans. Now that you told me I can kind of guess, but it's less "seeing" and more my brain connecting the dots. I think it might be because colors and such are less bright on PC monitors than on macs (you use a mac right?) and though admittedly my eyes aren't the best, usually I don't have that much trouble to recognize at least what is shown in general in an icon, even if I don't recognize the characters/actors (I'm not that good with recognizing actors).

Am I nuts or is that William Fichtner in your Icon?
