Angelica Jade Bastién of "Vulture" emphasized the importance of Scully's character in popular culture by listing all the strong female characters she inspired or may have influenced in some aspects, including: Temperance "Bones" Brennan of "Bones", Peggy Carter of "Agent Carter", Veronica Mars of "Veronica Mars", Olivia Moore of "iZombie", Dr. Maura Isles of "Rizzoli & Isles", Olivia Benson of "", Joan Watson of "Elementary", Sydney Bristow of "Alias", Abbie Mills of "Sleepy Hollow", Zoë Washburne of "Firefly", Stella Gibson (another character portrayed by Anderson) of "The Fall" and Olivia Dunham of "Fringe". Jade Bastién wrote: "Do all the characters Scully has influenced live up to her? Definitely not. Gillian Anderson's performance and her chemistry with David Duchovny aren't exactly elements that can be replicated. But these characters prove that Scully isn't only the heart of "The X-Files", but also the character who had the most profound influence on popular culture".
