   Unsatisfying. Just unsatisfying. I hadn't really til now contemplated   
   that it was meant to be. I figured just lame. Well, it was lame, all   
   action packed shoot-em-up like some Rambo movie. I did expect a more   
   heady episode from CC and instead I got Rambo.   
      
   Still, it hooked me from early on (Anasazi) and kept me entertained for,   
   9 years? Even before becoming a fan I used to watch it on Friday nights   
   if I was home back in '93, a pleasant, curious little show that came on   
   right after "Strange Luck" the first or second year. After Anasazi I   
   noticed I was making it a point to stay home to watch it. Hooked til the   
   end, then unsatisfied at the end. When it ended I couldn't imagine life   
   without The X Files. Well, life is going along just fine without it. One   
   regret I have is that I didn't know about this group. I knew about   
   usenet since about 1999 or so, but a group dedicated to talking about   
   The X Files didn't even enter my head.
