I loved Closure too. But for some reason the whole "walk ins" thing bothered me. I don't know why. It was the perfect solution. But it just seemed too pat or nonx-filish for some reason. I can't even say why it seemed nonx-filish. It should be right up X-files alley. I don't know it just bothered me.
But I thought it was a really good ep. I loved it and agree it is one of the very, very best ever done. It was powerful and moving and the Mulder/Scully dynamic was just right I thought.
DRH, sorry she missed last night's chat here. (I didn't know it had moved. Serves me right for going AWOL.) :-)
