I'm happy to have watched it over, in full, all these years later. It reminded me of a different time. Memories flooding back fo the decade prior, growing up as a child in the 80s and a teenager in the 90s.

The explosion of the internet and technology all around me, learning new things rapidly. I started watching #theXFiles when I was 10 and finished it while just starting college.

It was literally part of my formative years, and I'll never forget it.

I finished #TheXFiles.

The last two episodes of Season 9 and the finale of the entire story.

I remember 20 years ago it being rather underwhelming and having mixed feelings.

It's difficult to end a show like this and keep everyone happy. Chris Carter chose to portray hope over defeat. There's some uncertainty, no full resolution, but this is the way. He left a mystery, some unanswered questions remain and that is ok.
