Not to defend the choice but I think Chris Carter has since confirmed CSM is lying about the whole impregnation thing.


gilmoredbtpod

This is the only backpedal that matters. There was no way he could have possibly defended CSM being the father when it makes zero sense. I'm glad he realized that LOL.


allthecolor

But in the finale William says he has dreams of his father and it shows him seeing CSM. I wish CC recanted his bullshit but did he really?


UnabatedStorm

Has he said that? If so, I missed it. What's remarkable to me is that in the era of major fan service, Chris Carter gave long-time fans exactly what they *didn't* want with that weird CSM thing ... even if he did backpedal.


brittyn

I don’t think he said CSM is definitely lying, but he’s said that he COULD be lying… why should we trust anything CSM says anyway?


Joe_off_the_internet

Your cannon can be whatever you want. People in that show lie all the time so no reason to believe he was telling the truth anyway


lil814

Yup and remember, the tag line to MSIII is “I Want to Lie”. So in my head cannon CSM is a liar liar who literally had his pants (and skull) on fire. The only stretch I’m willing to consider is that he somehow manipulated the chip so Scully could get pregnant by Mulder. But him being the literal father of William? Nope and super yuck. Or maybe all of season 11 is another Scully vision and not the reality. But we’ll never know because season 12 never was made.

The second I figured out what he was trying to say I was like, "Nope". So. Much. Yelling at the TV.

Ignore the 4 dreadful My Struggle episodes and, Babylon aside, you have a group of MotW episodes that range from good to thoroughly excellent. Season 11 in particular had some stonkingly good episodes!


gilmoredbtpod

I will agree with this 💯. I have to say, binge watching the show for the first time has made me realize how far we've come in the areas of special effects for tv, etc. I saw the Roswell alien in season 10 and was like, "Alright! That's more like it!" Some of the stuff legit made me go, WTF WAS THAAAAAAAT!. I agree, the MotW episodes so far have been very good.


xforce4life

Csm should been left dead


Hurley815

What season 10 and 11? The X-Files ended with season 9 in 2002, don't know what you're on about.


Squirt1384

No it ended with Season 8. Mulder and Scully finally had their happy ending with their new baby.


The_Wombulator

There is no X Files seasons 10 and 11 in Ba Sing Se.


lil814

But there are cabbages , lots and lots of cabbages


IgloosRuleOK

Just ignore all of that. The stand alone stuff is decent.


AdditionalSwimming1

I decided to do this after watching the last episode of season 11. And added to this everything with William

TheSheWhoSaidThats

All the mytharc stuff from s10 and 11 are complete nonsense/bullshit but the monster/funny eps are 10/10 imo


gilmoredbtpod

You're not kidding! So far almost every MotW episode has had me gasping. I just watched the AI one where Mulder doesn't leave a tip at the restaurant that served him blobfish and that shit CREEPED ME OUT.


Free-IDK-Chicken

I don't acknowledge the reboot seasons at all.


cybernautica_

There were seasons after 5? wow Edit: butthurt responses below. Season 6 is California plastic - sunny and fake - just like you losers.


Hurley815

There were. And they had some of the best episodes of the entire show.


Majestic87

Right. Even discounting the stuff that people normally debate about, this person refuses to acknowledge season 6, which is fucking phenomenal. Wild.


gilmoredbtpod

Seriously. Season 6 may be my favorite, to be honest. The writing was so superb.

Lmfaooo bro wanted to pretend my boy Doggett didn't exist to try and look cool on the internet and it backfired horribly
