After waiting all this time for new episodes, I now wish I had my six hours back that I spent watching this. All the previous loose threads were forgotten. The black oil, the bees, the good vs the bad aliens, the Syndicate, the microchips in the women's necks, Purity Control, Government cover-up, "You've never been closer, Mr. Mulder", nothing from past seasons means anything. It never happened, and you did not watch it.
As a final insult, the season-ending cliff hanger was beyond impossible to escape from. Everyone is quickly dying from a virus or something, everyone except Sully and maybe her son who is no one knows where. Even Mulder is several blocks from Scully, who is on a bridge of impossible traffic, and she is the only one who could save him. Problem is, it would take her several minutes to get to him, even if she knew where he was, and he only has seconds to live. Everyone is down to their last seconds.
Yet, I somehow know that when the next show starts in 2018, Mulder and the population of Earth will somehow be miraculously saved. So why watch? It will be unbelievable. And the next one will no doubt end stupidly also.
Such a shame. This program had such tremendous potential when it started. Chris Carter had a great idea, but no clue what to do with it.
