The X-Files : Season X (Spoilers!)

[Sto-Vo-Kory]

A couple of weeks ago, the German synopsis for "My Struggle II" was translated and it has info not included in any US promo material that I've seen.

Warning: it contains a (possibly) huge spoiler for the finale.

Spoiler: Season Finale

Conspiracy theorist Tad O'Malley warns live on TV, that the immune system of all humans has supposedly been shut down, and that a huge disease is coming. Infections start suddenly happening. While Scully is apparently protected through her alien DNA, Mulder is soon fighting for his life. Only the stem cells from their son can help save him. But where can Scully look for the child, seeing how it's living with adoptive parents?

Wow, that is pretty spoilery. If true that does confirm something people have been suspecting for a while.

 

[Richard Baker]

Wait a minute, so those are an actual mystery? I just assumed they were a bit of old X-Files continuity that I had forgotten or wasn't aware of.

They didn't seem to be the right shape to have been caused by a riding crop (though I wouldn't know), though they were in the right place. If it's a mystery, maybe it's a sign that Mulder has some ominous medical news coming up next week.

Riding crops make quite a variety of marks- it all depends on the angle of impact, force of impact, Part of the crop making contact, position of the body in relation to the crop and even the stiffness of the muscles.
Now I am going to have to watch this episode...

I have no words for this.

Spoiler: Thoughts

I could have sworn Mulder was part alien too. This is so messed up.

I had thought it was supposed to be a hickie.

 

[Awesome Possum]

Einstein did say that Mulder scared some old ladies at a bar. That might explain the hickies.

Let me guess the German translation of this episode: Mein Kampf.

 

[1001001]

So the mushroom episode was again...okay. They seem to be kind of meandering. Mulder tripping out was funny but completely unrealistic, it didn't even make sense to me. As for the Lone Gunmen appearing...hmm. Not exactly a big role.

I did enjoy the last scene with Mulder and Scully's conversation.

 

[Random_Spock]

Let me guess the German translation of this episode: Mein Kampf.

That wasn't what the first ep and the last one were based off of.

This series is what CC was basing it off of.

 

[Tim Thomason]

Let me guess the German translation of this episode: Mein Kampf.

It seems the German episodes are titled Der Kampf and Der Kampf (2). Which means "The Struggle". Probably to avoid the connotations with Hitler's book.

 

[hux]

Well that was hilarious. Rhys Darby was great.

"I'm not a reptile. That's racist."

Loving the new X-Files.

 

[Set Harth]

all I have to say is...

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot????

 

[MetroKid]

With that ending I was expecting to see a surprise announcement over the credits about some secret stash of episodes they are going to surprise us with, or an announcement about a future season or movie. All we got was 'Gotham' promos

 

[Tim Thomason]

Yeah. A limited-run miniseries revival, testing the waters for a potential full season run, is not the best place to post half-a-story with a major cliffhanger. I guess if we never hear anything more,

Spoiler

we can just assume that Mulder dies, Scully is abducted (again), and the whole world is killed by the AIV.

Although I feel like watching The Sixth Extinction again, to see how that ties in with the newest revelations.

 

[Marsden]

I feel like I was tricked into watching something. I wonder if it worked and someone made a wheelbarrow full o' cash?


I'm also not feeling so bad we didn't get the third movie after all. So, there's that.

 

[Tim Thomason]

This was an okay episode, a bad season finale, and a terrible series finale. Here's hoping beyond hope that they'll have a better explanation for Monica Reyes if they ever get around to producing another season.

 

[Turtletrekker]

Wow. It doesn't air here on the west coast for another hour, but maybe I'll just cut my losses on this one...

 

[Set Harth]

Every time this kind of thing happens I always think the same thing: maybe it's two hours and I just missed the announcement.

 

[bigdaddy]

That was horrible. I had low expectations but damn that was horrible.

All I can think of is the season 5 Community finale in which if the show didn't come back the planet was destroyed by a comet and everyone is dead.

 

[JD]

I thought that was pretty great up until the ending. I really hate it when a show ends on a big cliffhanger, when there is no certainty there will be more. I actually had the same thought about it being two hours at the end. Maybe they're already working on comics based on this season so they can give us the conclusion there?
