Nice Episode, Shame About the Plot

And thus we learn the final fate of Samantha Mulder!Is it satisfying? No. Closure is very touching and quite beautiful and well acted. But as a capstone to a question that first appeared in the very first episode this is not what anyone wanted. We get into how this fails to make much sense with seven years of other conspiracy (we know the aliens habitually lie, but why bother to claim Samantha was alive back in End Game?) and why this is basically just Redux's solution with some extra steps.Still, that's one answer down. For those keeping score: aliens are real, CSM fathered all the Mulder children, and Samantha was dead the entire time.Not even sure if there is anything left to go. Other than whatever CSM was up to in The Sixth Extinction Part 2.X-Cops on the other hand is the bizarre The X-Files/Cops mash-up and it works far better than it should. We get into how much it reminds us of Ghostwatch and how The Blair Witch Project near certainly had some influence on its presentation.Also implies Mulder deals with the reveals of the previous episode by hunting werewolves in downtown LA.Support the show
