He might have loved his parents, but he hated that they let bad things happen to his sister. My love for the X-files has been tainted by the recent revival, which started out promising, but left me extremely disappointed and disheartened by the end. I erased it from my DVR, and don't think I can ever watch that again.Mallenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11368492098724611717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-2917195837003850122016-07-05T12:44:09.657-04:002016-07-05T12:44:09.657-04:00Mallena,

I did always love 'Closure' even though a part of me wasn't satisfied either, with the ethereal explanation, when it first came down the pike. I guess now I feel I can live with it for the reasons I said here.<br />That's such an interesting observation about Mulder's money. You're right, it doesn't make sense when you lay it out like that. I think I sort of see Mulder as austere but not broke... more of a minimalist, unconcerned with material objects for no other reason than he's driven to obsession about, er, other things. :D I'll have to think about that one for a bit though!

He's got his answer and he can live with it. I suppose I can see that, but the mystical forthcoming "explanation" does very little for me. More on that next episode, I suppose. This is a good episode and very well done, especially on that breakdown scene with Mulder and Scully. So sad! I liked your review very much Heather, and hope you do the next one as well. I do have a small quibble. Mulder is shown as never having much money in the series. In "Monday", he couldn't pay for damages until his check was deposited. He lives in a small apartment. I don't think he even has a car that is not provided by the bureau. His parents had nice houses, one of them on the beach, even. As a surviving only child, after both of their deaths, he should have had lots of money, even just with the sale of those houses. Doesn't the FBI pay well, also? I don't know why, it just always bothered me that Mulder was always portrayed as having little monetary assets, when his parents looked pretty rich to me.Mallenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11368492098724611717noreply@blogger.com
