x-files is one of most brilliant show in history of television, if not the most brilliant. it has more great episodes than any other shows previously or yet to come. so, yes, i have to admit that season nine was a Little sub par (but it was the ninth season, after all, so i guess it figures!) but the finale was really awesome. a lot of people among the x-philes were disappointed by this finale, but i think it's as cool as it could have been. it contains an extremely well done summary of the myth arc of the show, which is not that easy considering how complex it is, that is displayed during a secret trial involving Mulder. sure, the idea is not new, but it works, and is completely in the spirit of the show. but the best parts of the episode are the one that don't take place in the trial: the infiltration by Mulder of the headquarters of the secret government, his return to pueblos, 8 years after anasazi, the final confrontation with the csm, the scene in the oval office, and most than all: the final scenes between Mulder ans scully in the motel, reference to the pilot. as for the 2 revelations (the date of the invasion, and the fact that it can no longer be stopped) may seem dull at first, but take all their meaning when you know the signification of :december 22,2012. i think that episode was brilliant, especially since it was an all star episode gathering all the actors of the show-including the dead- and a great way to end the greatest television show ever. long live cc! 6/6
