I lost track towards the end although i did quite enjoy it - especially as post pub viewing - can somebody remind me where the whole thing left the ungoing plots? They got that Terminator chap in....
Millions of years ago, meteor hits earth - meteor had cells on - this cause reaction - life formed - so all life on earth is of alien origin - (so we are all aliens says skinner), on meteor was virus (black oil)
Black oil was intelligent and capable of thought communication etc, it infected the humans - the virus died out 35,000 years (last ice age).
Black oil re-discovered , it was found in normal oil, scientists found out what it was and what it did, oil communicated with other aliens saying come to earth and help us infect humans and so they came to earth - scientists found out about this when craft crashed at roswell,
Cancer man etc formed a group, to contact and co-operate with aliens but were really trying to find cure for black oil so they would not be infected. To make sure they all behaved aliens made each of the conspiritors give up member of family - hence mulders sister (samantha) being abducted.
She was given back eventually, she grew up with cancer man and his son(jeffrey),cancer man had an affair with mulders mum and had a son called jeffrey, (mulders half brother) samantha not happy at all ran away and died (this was shown and explained in previous series). Cancer man had mulders father killed (by alex krycheck - and then krychek was shot dead by skinner in previous series). Cancer man was no longer needed and was apparently killed…..
Rebel aliens knew about black oil and alien plans to colonise earth and knew who the conspirators where - they lured human conspirators to hanger and killed them all except cancer man who escaped. New conspirators formed ,Cancerman was no longer needed and was apparently killed…..
Skully abducted and fiddled with so couldn't have kids, but mulder found her eggs and they had kiddie, mulder abducted and experimented on by aliens eventually returned - kiddie was not normal, hybrid human/alien, missing link very special, new conspirators wanted him dead, skully knew this and handed him over to unnamed fosters parents…awww…this was after mulder was told to disappear - he did.
Conspirators were designing humans who could not die - super soldiers (lucy lawless played one she was in the same unit in nam as doggett (mulders replacement) - only way they can die is if they get too near magnatite rock, mulder accused of killing one of these soldiers - he broke into base and saw something on PC, but had fight with super soldier noel rawl - (rawl was in previous series giving inside knowledge to dogget as they had been in nam together but rawl was giving duff info). Mulder tries to escape, rawl catches him, they struggle and mulder throws him off gantry onto power cables so rawl died…loads of witnesses. Mulder up for death penalty. (when trying to escape mulder sees krychek and warns mulder…mulder says your dead ??..krycheck disappears).
Mulder and skully finally meet in prison (mulder is nearly brainwashed but he pretends to be loopy, but he was talking to someone and it was krychek - no one else could see him..weird..)when she goes to visit him (loads of tongue) mulder chooses skinner to defend him, skinner calls in various people as witnesses including jeffrey who cancerman had tried to kill and was now badly disfigured by being experimented on and "Gibson" the little boy - chess genius, who had been sheltering mulder in new mexico, mulder didn't want him their as aliens want him dead, gibson can read minds and said he was reading their minds (blokes on panel) even the guy on the end (jim from neighbours !!!) meaning he was a super soldier. Mulder could clear himself by telling what he saw on PC in base, but he won't.
Bloke heading panel was kirsh - boss of skinner - kirsh was the one who told mulder to disappear,
Doggett eventually got rawls body, they proved it wasn't him but someone who was killed and burned and made to look like rawl. Kirsh dismisses this, mulder guilty, death by lethal injection, skinner, doggett, rayez and skully help mulder escape, they tell him and skully to head north - canada and leave america. So they drive south…..he stops for a pee, and the lone gunman appear (they had been killed in a previous episode) and ask where he is going and say why risk a life of happiness with skully…he will because he wants the truth, skully wakes up and shouts for mulder, he says hang on but gunmen have gone (they killed them you know, still can't believe it).
Mulder+skully drive to old indian ruined village, built in rock, there he meets the person who tipped him off about base - its cancer man, cancer man says why didn't you tell what you knew ? he said he wouldn't so cancerman told skully that the final alien invasion would take place in 2012 meaning the end of the world…..
(meanwhile back in dc, doggett and rayez go to x files office - all bare - they tell skinner, skinner goes to kirsh - rayez and doggett and gibson go with him, skinner knocks on door and jim from neighbours opens it and tells him to come in - gibson says they know where mulder+skully have gone !!!)
mulder and skulyl just leaving village when dog+ray appear and tell them to run, choppers flying in and rawl drops in and ray+dog try to stop him….they shoot him but he can't die, but as he approaches them his body blows up because village is made of rock that kills him, (that’s why cancer man was there, he knew he'd be safe and he said that the ancient indians knew this as well), skully and mulder drive off as do dog+ray , choppers blow up village, including cancerman - you see him blown up and hit by fire and shit.
Mulder and skully in room somewhere and talking about future…..the end.
Although Mulder left the series , I thought it actually got better, Scully turned into the person with the weird ideas and Doggett and Rayez worked well together. Superb series…bring it back !!
