I believe this to be one of the most powerful episodes in the series. The disappearance of Mulder's sister has without question been an underlying theme, and at some point Chris Carter would have to explain what exactly happened. This occurs at the end of the episode. I have a feeling since they were planning on having Mulder abducted at the end of this season, it was a good idea to wrap up what happened with Samantha.
What makes "Closure" so powerful is that it is a true X-Files episode in every sense. There is absolutely no humor involved at all. The first 3 seasons went mostly without humor, then as the characters developed in later seasons we began to see a lighter side to them. The Moby song at the beginning and at the end with a slow action on the "ghosts" was very good. In the end, Mulder has his closure and makes his peace with what happened to Samantha. I think that fans having watched the series from the very beginning will enjoy this pivotal ending point to a question that has been asked since Season 1. I found the episode and its ending moving and appropriate.
