...now that CSM is dead?
As endings go, assuming this really is the end of the series once and for all, this wasn't half bad. Sure, the whole alien invasion hasn't been resolved and the episode was so packed, it really was a bit rushed. But a lot was concluded. Presumably, Mulder and Scully, now that they're finally expecting a child of their own, have turned the page and are done with the X files at least, if not also the FBI and government work in general. They've earned their retirement and then some. Plus who is left that they care about? Presumably Skinner is dead and we know both the CSM and Reyes are. Deep Throat, Mr. X, Krycek, The Syndicate, Pendrell and The Lone Gunmen are all long gone and does anyone really miss Covarrubias or Doggett? Spender and Kersh are still around but, if anything, they're reasons for our heroes to stay away. And William? Well, as far as they know, he's dead and they're not likely to go looking for him again and we can be pretty sure he's going to lay a lot lower than he was before now. Our heroes' families are a lot smaller too. Mulder only has Spender, Scully and the unborn left. And Scully only has her two brothers, Mulder and the unborn.
No, if the X files unit is to continue, it should be as season 10 proposed, only perhaps with two agents other than Einstein and Miller and another decade and a half later (real time). No offense...they were likeable enough I suppose but not really well written or used, which I'm sure is part of the reason they only returned for one episode in season 11.
Yes, let's let our heroes walk maturely holding hands into the sunset, living happily ever after with normal, fully human offspring never again to be confronted by aliens, hybrids, monsters, conspiracies, secret societies or corrupt government officials.
And let's let CSM remain dead so the Bullafo Bills can go to the Super Bowl and finally win it...perhaps in 2019?
