So this has been another weird mixture. It seemed to be a standalone MOW episode first that looked a bit like it was partially inspired by the 2014 “Slender Man” stabbing. But then it turned into a mythology episode again with the smoker appearing and all the usual stuff with William (whose story arc is so big now that it seems to be there to replace the whole main motivation of Mulder searching for his abducted sister in the original series now) alien/human hybrid DNA including an extended scene of Mulder and Skinner awkwardly throwing expositional dialogue at each other on the crime scene of that rusty ship.
I don´t know about this one, really. The part I found most interesting was what was connected with the phenomenon of “sleep paralysis” which is a real and seemingly most disturbing thing for those who suffer from it. There is a creepy documentary on netflix on the subject in case you´re interested.
Five more two go here, while it all ended yesterday in the US with a finale that has gotten really really bad reviews so far as I could see and the ratings in germany aren´t anything to write home about either.
Might as well be for the better that the end is neigh.
