The end. Wait, that was season five. This is really the end. No more X-Files episodes after this. One movie. Some comics. And it's over.
Nine years of television, for us condensed into around ten months. And what a ride this has been. Let's see how it all turns out.

The X-Files: Fight the Future
I've now seen the first X-Files movie. And it wasn't entirely what I expected, which was more or less an extended episode in HD with better special effects and swearing. It was at least a little more than that, and I feel like they did a good job of telling a story that just wouldn't have fit on the small screen. Maybe not quite epic, but definitely cohesive, and definitely something that answered a LOT of questions about the series. And actually opened up one other major question.
Now what?
Now what?

The X-Files Season 5, Episodes 13/14: Patient X/The Red and the Black
Oh fun, Krycek again. And the black oozing goo, now also known as the Black Cancer and the Black Oil. Perhaps it will reappear as Black Slime next season.
I think that but for the final reveal, this two-parter would have been largely just kind of blah. There seemed to be a lot of filler considering that the plot itself was more straightforward than many of the other two-part episodes we've seen.

The X-Files Season 4, Episodes 8/9: Tunguska/Terma
In Soviet Russia, Alex Krycek betrays everyone (seriously, he is the worst triple agent ever), as always, and loses his arm for his troubles. Maybe he should get together with Lindsey McDonald. They'd make a great team of pompous double crossing assholes with a grand total of two hands between them. Maybe Wolfram and Hart can give Krycek an evil hand, too!
And Mulder makes some epically bad decisions, one of which is trusting Krycek for even half a second, and nearly pays with his life, while Scully makes some questionable decisions and pays with her freedom.
Well, this is a huge disaster already, isn't it?
