Well I just saw The Truth last night. I have to say, I'm actually really dissapointed with the final episode. I didn't feel like I learned the truth, the only thing that was revealed in the episode was that the aliens endgame or whatever is gonna be in 2012. Ok...but besides that, nothing. Mulder got framed basically for "killing" one of the supersoldiers, they broke him out, cigarette smoking man died, and Mulder and Scully talked about what they believe in a motel room...and that's the end. It all just felt very anticlimatic to me...just meh.
The season itself was great though, usual X-Files quality greatness. I was actually surprised by how creative and fresh the show still managed to feel in its 9th season, well, here's my top 5 of the season...
4-D - I just loved this episode, the idea of an alternate reality is something is always great. I love the way it was done here too, it was really just sad to think that in one reality they were both just killed so quickly like they were.
Trust No 1- Great Scully centered episode. I just loved it, can't really think of anything else to say. ![]()
Provenance/Providence - Another great Scully centered episode. There is one thing about the episode that confused me though, how the hell could Scully trust the Lone Gunmen to protect her baby...seriously.
Improbable - Possibly my favorite of the season, this was just a strange and fun episode. The whole numbers thing was just interesting and I loved Burt Reynolds character, whoever the hell he was. Just a strange, strange episode, I loved it.
William - Wow sad episode, actually almost made me shed a tear. I can't believe Scully actually opted to give up her baby for adoption.
Well I've seen every X-Files episode now, I really hope they get that second movie up and running, cause the crappy ending just makes me want more X-Files...![]()

'William' was my obvious favorite as the rest of the season is a bit 'meh', I do love 'The Truth' but I can't say it's one of the best series finales i've seen. I definitely liked it better on rewatchings as I didn't 'get' it on first watching. I do hope that there will be a second movie which will explain things better.
glad I got another X-phile fan here.
so, now ya have to write a blog about all 9 seasons and your favorite episodes
