Wow, that sounds like the perfect set up for a series of film or mini series. It will be interesting to see where they go from there. Still that seems more like a good season ending cliffhanger then a series final, so yeah I guess that may have something to do with why I don’t remember it.

Well here is hoping we get some answers, I can’t wait. Why does the 24th have to be so far away???! 😃

Well, actually the second movie, I Want to Believe, already followed up on that cliffhanger. Unfortunately, it wasn’t all that exciting.

Last we saw them, Mulder and Scully were living together, with Scully now practicing medicine at some Christian hospital as a profession. The “in hiding/on the run” aspect, alluded to by the finale, isn’t explored much in the movie, as, less than 30 minutes in, the FBI already pardons Mulder for any previous alleged wrongdoing. Consequently, the movie sees Mulder and Scully working once again within the FBI, albeit as consultants and not full-blown agents.

EDIT: Forgot to say, in an end credits sequence, we see Mulder and Scully vacationing together in some sunny tropic place. Bahamas?

Wow, they really should have followed up on them being on the run. I fell asleep trying to get through the second movie, and that must be why. At that point I must have remembered the series final, I remember being really mad about something to do with the movie.

Still parts of it sound like how the series should have ended so maybe I will give the movie another go at some future date. Thanks for the info, I never got to the end of the movie.

Now I feel all caught up for the mini series.
