I really like the episode in general, but yet again, the complete ignoring or flaunting in the face of the first six seasons conspiracy is amazing.
We are supposed to just forget all the conversations the syndicate had about an invasion and about the contact the aliens were still having with them? Now all of a sudden Smoking Man wasn't part of that and it was all a grand plan to depopulate? Or are we supposed to hope that Chris Carter knew all along there would be another season and he is holding another twist?
Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed the ending. I thought this mass world hysteria was a good one for a show this scale to do. Epic, yet within control. It was always what I figured the invasion would look like. I also thought it was Duchovney and Anderson as close to Mulder and Scully as they have been. But I can't get past the idea that, according to the story line, the original mytharc was all a joke. It's one thing if it all lays out and makes sense, but this is a clear cheat. A blind eye to a story in order to create a new one.
