I almost wonder if that was the point of the story: to leave gaps for fanficcers to fill in.
You may very well be on to something. There are plenty of them.
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.
Indeed. (And yeah, there's a reason it's MOTW and not PsychicOTW.)
I was so glad to see Skinner, though. I wish he'd had more to do.
Yes! I had kind of resigned myself to no Skinner by that point in the movie. It was wonderful to see him again.
