Something dies in you... for ever
5 March 2020
Warning: Spoilers
A mother loses her child at young age, a kid never sees his six-year-old best friend after one afternoon, a cat disappears on a family in the dead of winter...

The mother will not be the same after being reunited with her child.

The kid will always yearn for a friend, for "the" friendship even if he meets his six-year-old best friend years later.

The family will miss the old dynamics even when the cat's found and happily playing around them.

Mulder followed his destiny, and this meant going off the center of the show.

Okay, maybe the actor had to clear his calendar. But still, the audience is lead to have invested in the show to an extent that the departure of Mulder from the center of the show, or possibly from the show, hurts them by producing mixed feelings...

F.i. Who is this new guy Doggett, and will he replace Mulder? Will Scully still long for Mulder, or move past her relationship with Mulder, and become very close with Doggett in a very short time? Will Mulder ever return? Should he return as he might had found what he had been been looking for?

All these were very strong points the show used carefully. Not much of anything felt forced. The episodes were bizarre and interesting. And even the music was binding when it came to Mulder. And the audience started liking Agent Doggett... He was brave, analytical, honest and hardworking...

Then Mulder's returned... Oh, boy have our hurt deepened!... We do not know what will happen with the new trio. And we especially care for Agent Doggett, and his feelings... More importantly... We feel that the old Mulder is long gone... And this will hurt for ever. So, this season has been of the best so far for this humane sentiment and reason... for we can never get back in time for the sweetest of things.

"Then We brought you back to life after your death that perhaps you would be grateful." The 56th Verse of the Chapter called "The Cow" in the Gracious Koran... Amen.
