Hopefully Chris Carter or someone from his team comes here to check this episode's score and people's reaction to it. It has been a while since an episode gets rated below 7. I personally wouldn't give such a low score, but only because I am still infatuated with the fact that there is X-Files in the world again, but it didn't surprise me. For me, sure the story is not the best and the "muslims are bad and want to kill us" idea is old, played-out (and to be honest I couldn't believe you went there! Baaad idea), but that was not it. The dream sequence was weird and seemed out of place? Yes, but was cute enough not to bother me (I am very forgiving if you put David Duchovny dancing in any sort of way, specially with the Lone Gunmen). The problem? And c'mon you must know that by now, you separated Mulder and Scully! And worse, paired them with other people! Annoying wannabe Mulder and Scully people (what was the point of that anyway? Some soul- searching with their younger selves? Didn't work. And why are they still around next episode? OK, Agent Miller was tolerable, but Agent Einstein?? No!). At this point, after not having them for so long, I don't want to see them doing things apart or hidden from each other, with one episode left, they are suppose to be getting closer not going out gallivanting with other people, specially ones that may be a try-out for substituting them in the future (BAD BAD idea if that crossed your minds. Very very bad idea, remember Doggett and Reyes couldn't do it and we liked them). So, here is me hoping that you get the point because we don't have the luxury of 24 episodes to fix things anymore. That said, how come Mulder and Scully haven't got back together yet? And don't you have a huge government conspiracy thing to solve? Why lose time in a episode like this one? Hopefully there will be a next season, so let's make better decisions people!
