I have half a mind to write it as fanfic. Although someone else probably has already.
I almost wonder if that was the point of the story: to leave gaps for fanficcers to fill in.
I think if I were writing the movie, I would've dumped everything but the shipper plot, then had some kind of mutant or ghost show up figuratively at M&S's doorstep, and threaten them in such a way that they had to get involved, and be the primary "investigators" in the "case." There would've been many more creepy aspects, and a lot more of them working together to find the truth.
Yeah -- more like a real monster of the week. It seems like unless the monster (dear movie people: MOTW episodes typically include a monster) is actually threatening Mulder and Scully, their characters have some serious lack-of-investment issues with the plot, given their distance from the Bureau.
I was so glad to see Skinner, though. I wish he'd had more to do.
