Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAdenosine deaminase (ADA) - the gene product inhibited by the Spartan virus - is an actual enzyme. Hereditary defects in the enzyme can lead to a condition known as Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID), which leaves patients at risk for severe infections like those depicted. A treatment for the condition is to introduce a functional immune system into the patient via bone marrow transplant like Scully suggests for Mulder.
- GoofsThe Cigarette Smoking Man has a tracheostomy. He should not be able to speak unless a special device were attached to the tracheostomy (not apparent in this episode). Generally, a tracheostomy has to be covered to allow someone to speak. Please note that the word "tracheostomy" refers to the placement of a tube in the trachea while "tracheotomy" is just the act of cutting into the trachea. "Tracheostomy" is the correct term in this use.
- Quotes
[to Mulder]
Cigarette Smoking Man: Every man has his weakness. Mine was always just cigarettes.

Featured review
I was blown away.
I am speechless to read the highest rated review is a 1 star demolition. I thought this was utterly fantastic, it tied together for me what's been an incredible series. My Struggle II was fast paced, gripping, intelligent, brilliantly acted, and left me for one desperate for more. I loved that Mulder's Nemesis Smoking man made a return, great character. Great special effects once again, it felt like a huge budget blockbuster on times. Mulder and Scully Junior were once again good value, I can understand that die hard fans may not like them much, but I found them quite fun. That ending though, please don't leave us hanging there.
This has left me desperate for more episodes, so come on, another series please. 9/10
