      I agree. Her story just ended so weekly. So she just disappeared into this place that children go to when something really bad. It’s gonna happen to them because it was so bad that the universe couldn’t allow it to happen or for her to die like that? What the hell is that nonsense? That’s stupid. I’m sorry that abducted by aliens or being separated from everyone and then kept in a bunker or something would have been much more interesting and also just a much more satisfactory ending. The same episode never explains how the parents of these children would always write the so-called kidnapping notes and always seem to no details about the kidnapper to be. It was just a shitty story

    This was one of the things that really made Mulder a good character.
    He was a kid when it happened and it affected his whole life. What started as aliens became more about a kid misunderstanding the world.
    I feel like everything lasted too long and the story went sideways but it was great in the early years.

    I loved the X-Files when it aired and still consider it a Top 10, even Top 5 series. But as it went along it just got more and more confusing. Aliens doing this and that for unexplained reasons, the secret conspiracy group, the machinations of the Cigarette Man, the metal men in the last couple of seasons, etc. I think even with a re-watch I couldn't explain half of what is going on and why. In the end I chalked it up to the writers (principally Chris Carter) having no larger plan and just tossing out random stories. I think if the show was produced today there would be more coherence into the grand arc of the show, the aliens and their actions and so on.

    What happened: The audience figured out what happened, the writers panicked and said, "Nuh uh, can't be that!" and wrote another layer, the audience figured that layer out, do this a few times and eventually the writers say, "Okay, fine, let's just stop this," and stopped writing layers by the time the whole thing got too unwieldy.

      Nah, directions change as the show gets greenlit for another season, these tv shows go on until the money runs thin, writers have to come up with a new direction when they realize they can keep it going.
      Same plight as every ongoing series - Lost, Walking Dead, all got messy and lost their original directions as time and the money continued to flow, audiences figuring things out is a far lower concern.

    The X-Files had an ending as bad as Game of Thrones, but by the time it finished, nobody cared. They should have made a movie about the alien invasion and end the series on a high note instead of changing the mythology in the revival. Closure was a preview of the ending, both anticlimatic and clumsy...

    Ah yes, the X-Files. Fox's breakthrough sci-fi show that launched during a time where sci-fi was considered network poison. Even the recently relaunched Star Trek was syndication only. Fox did not really know what to so with this show, and boy could you tell. They let Carter more or less have his way for the first 4 seasons, then started imposing network bloat on it.

    The starlight thing is new to me but I remember The Syndicate all giving up a child. They didn’t swap from taking Fox to taking Samantha because she was female. They did it because the 2 of them have different fathers & every family is only required to give up one child. If Fox had been given up, the cigarette smoking man would’ve been giving up 2 kids & Mulder senior wouldn’t be giving up any. That’s why Fox’s relationship with the father that raised him is so strained. I don’t think the starlight thing was a good wrap up. Samantha clearly remembers Fox so she probably remembers all her trauma. It would make more sense if she died from complications from the experiments. There’s closure in death & thinking of her in heaven is a similar emotional peace to the starlight kids

I would’ve rather him get his sister back and have her for a season and then she gets sick sort of like Scully did and dies, but on her deathbed, she tells molder she remembers others who were experimented upon and she wants him to keep fighting to save them… thus giving him more reason to keep on searching for the truth.

    To me, the only logical explanation, is Samantha was really Sam Beckett, the Quantum Leaper. And Sam, leaped into Samantha’s body, but was entangled forever, and so suddenly disappeared from Fox’s sight. Sam Beckett became amnesiac of her, and so, has no recollection of any connection with her. There was no logical reality in the universe which could bring her back into Mulder’s time. So, she is somewhere, and the UFO incident that Mulder apparently witnessed of her disappearance, was an accounting of a giant quantum shift, which forced an alien craft into the physical location of an opening of a quantum rift, where Samantha just happened to be, partly due to Sam Beckett’s traveling through this location n time/space. I do not think Samantha is dead, but It could be that she shows up in parallel locations to Sam Beckett’s travels. She may be really scared or she may realize what has happened, much like Holly Marshall in Land of the Lost.

    What a load of nonsense. It's been decades since I watched x-files so maybe star dust children make sense somehow, but it doesn't feel like it would belong in the show I remember.
    Also even before that, having cancer man (and Mulder's father) being implicitly involved in Samantha's disappearance and choosing to never tell him, seems like such a tease and a stretch. Like I know Cancer man has a lot of secrets he keeps from everyone, and hes not really a friend of Mulders, but I think seeing how driven Mulder was by the kidnapping for years he would have told him something at somepoint.
