[At some point they] made her all about the baybeeez, which I hated.
Did they? I don't remember that? Much as I thought that [actor who played Scully] was hot, I never thought/felt that they played up the character's sex-appeal (but maybe I stopped watching). It's been a while, and I'm not even sure if I got to the end of the teevee show.
At some point they had to screw with the formula or risk having her look very stupid...
That was my point. Some time before she actually got kidnapped (raped? impregnated? just kind of pushed around?) by aliens, she'd already been through enough weirdness that I just couldn't suspend disbelief enough to accept her "I'm a rational scientist-type" routine.
Scepticism stops being convincing when the sceptic has been taken to the moon/mars/gallifrey and back a dozen times.
