Holy shit, My Struggle IV was that bad?!
On its own, it’s simply bad. But taking into consideration the rest of the season, the mytharc, the entire series? It’s nothing short of vomitrocious.
Does it at least…you know…end the series?
After
Reyes dies from an unceremonious gunshot wound to the head, CSM runs Skinner down with his car, Mulder guns CSM down, and we find out Scully is pregnant with Mulder’s child (for real this time),
it ends on a cliffhanger.
Is there any point to subjecting myself to the rest of the season? (The last episode I watched was that awful sushi restaurant AI “I’ll kill you if you don’t leave a tip” one.)
Here’re the best parts of “Familiar”:

Now you don’t have to waste time watching what is otherwise a generic MOTW episode with a lame ending.
As for “Nothing Lasts Forever”, the plot itself’s kinda half-baked and ends with dangling plot threads, but Mulder & Scully themselves are excellent; they finally feel like their true selves here. If you want your journey with these two to end on a high note, this is your last, best chance.
