Krycek interacted with the door in the cold open, though. I just rolled with the idea that badass ghosts like Mr. X and Krycek could interact with the physical plane for REASONS! that have nothing to do with reality and everything to do with crazy X-Files ghost land.

Ha! I <3 this explanation. A lot. I will say, though, that I was not thrilled with how the Gunmen were used in this finale.

Here's how I'd fix this finale, within the context of what they gave us:

I watched The Truth a couple days ago and took notes. I wrote an asinine number of words regarding the finale and I'm not going to subject y'all to the entirety of them.

Personally, the biggest gripe I had with it was the lack of screen time transition. Two minutes of screen time does not equate to the six years we were told that Ted had. Give me a couple more minutes, a short scene of Ted grieving at the funeral, and don't spend several seasons telling me that Ted and Robin aren't…

You know what I wish? I wish that Kurt and Blaine's wedding is the series finale. And that we have a time jump before then. Nothing says that a several year engagement is out of the realm of possibility. It would just be so much more palatable than teens rushing to wed.

Every single character on Glee is selfish. The writers have no idea how to give these characters flaws without making them hyper exaggerated selfish. That being said, every character also has moments of being a really good human being. Blaine included. Hell, even Rachel and Santana get their moments.

The final season begins on April 13 of this year.

Ah, well that would make a live chat difficult! Thanks for answering, and I'm looking forward to the finale review and the IWTB review as well. :)

Kim Manners. I like Rob Bowman's work and I thought that David Nutter and David Duchovny were great for their episodes, but Kim Manners gets the best director on The X-Files award.

Oh, I hear ya on Season 9. There are things I don't mind about the season and overall it's something I watch because I'm obsessive about completion. I can definitely see why folks wouldn't like Sunshine Days. I see its problems and I generally expect better from Vince Gilligan.

Well, that's an interesting discussion. Vince Gilligan wrote the hand holding in Pusher (I assume that's the episode Spotnitz is referring to) but it's certainly not the first time there's hand holding or touching of the hands between the two agents. One Breath comes to mind. As does Beyond the Sea. Unless the…

Carter's been pretty vague about whether or not he has a script done. But it's a high probability that he wants Fox (the studio, not Mulder) to say yes before he commits to the time to writing it.

Will it be a review or a live chat like it was for FTF?

I just about fell out of my chair laughing when I watched whatever panel it was she said that on. Paley Center, maybe? In the aforementioned A Conversation with… piece, Duchovny's first answer was that they couldn't afford her. The crowd loved that. Then he mentioned that he felt the Mulder/Scully relationship was…

I haven't seen House of D yet but it is on my Amazon Prime watchlist. I admit, I'm surprised that he hasn't written an episode of Californication given his intuitive grasp of both the characters he plays and characters in general. The last time I've seen anyone ask him about writing was on the A Conversation with… and…

It's interesting, because I think you've hit the nail on its head. The entire Native American angle to the mythology went AWOL after the Sixth Extinction episodes. But bless David Duchovny and his continuity-loving, shipper-loving heart.

Thank you. :) And I'm glad that you asked and are experiencing this wonderful, quirky, ground-breaking series.

Ha! No, they're waiting for Chris Carter to write the damn XF3 script already. :)

Yeah, I was an athlete as a kid (6 days a week of gymnastics until I was 13 and yanked out of my sport by a parental unit who didn't get it) so my TV watching was non-existent until The X Files.
