Nice Episode, Shame About the Plot

And thus we learn the final fate of Samantha Mulder!

Is it satisfying? No. Closure is very touching and quite beautiful and well acted. But as a capstone to a question that first appeared in the very first episode this is not what anyone wanted. We get into how this fails to make much sense with seven years of other conspiracy (we know the aliens habitually lie, but why bother to claim Samantha was alive back in End Game?) and why this is basically just Redux's solution with some extra steps.

Still, that's one answer down. For those keeping score: aliens are real, CSM fathered all the Mulder…
