I love the X-Files... there are great "creature of the week" episodes, there tons of great mytharc episodes. But man this show wanted to have its cake and eat it too. It wanted to be a never-ending serial drama, but it also built itself around the strange strange occurrence of Mulder’s sister’s abduction that demanded some satisfying answer. If it had limited itself to 5 or 6 seasons with an actual conclusion, it would be perfect. But as evidence by this thread, it just tapered off towards the end. It just kept feeding mystery boxes and never giving satisfying answers, just adding more and more.

I kinda feel like "fear of scary dogs/etc" and "fear of talking to adults..." would decrease over the course of the night. Candy is a hell of a motivator.
