As I'm a bit late jumping into the fray I'll try to keep it 
short. First my *new* major theories:

-I now think it was Krycek who was the one Scully was talking 
about during the someone you trust portion of the therapy. Of 
all the bad guys she didn't know he couldn't be trusted. After 
all he was Mulder's new partner and Mulder had told her "he's 
all right".

-I am beginning to really wonder about Mulder's memory of his
sister's abduction. If the things we learned in PaperClip are
true (and it was a twisted variation on "Sophie's Choice") was
she really abducted by aliens? Or was she taken like Scully? 
Why did Mulder think he saw an alien abduction? Or did they 
just give the aliens the Mulder address and say "take the girl"?

-WMM. What is the deal with this guy and WHY is he leaking 
all this information when it is true? Is part of it true? Is 
Scully right and the technology wasn't there? What is his 
motivation?

-The Scully not wearing her cross because Mulder was gone 
theorists may be right. It was back on just as soon as she 
got a change of clothes after Mulder's return.


Things that were cool:

-Weaving current events and truths in (white buffalo, nazis)

-That frenzied standoff. I think I saw Scully snap. It scared
me.

-The way M&S were drinking each other in with their eyes at
the elevator.

-Sheila Larken is ALWAYS cool. Do ya think we could see her
in an episode sometime where someone *doesn't* die?

-CM "I wasn't aware that my honest was in question or doubt".
Right.

-I think this may be the season of the sensible shoes for
Dana. Now, if she'd only remembered her good flashlight too.

-I loved the 3 big missions. "Why they killed my father. What
happened to my sister. And what they did to Agent Scully". That 
is the mission statement for the X-Files future in a nutshell.

-There is now no separating our team. The bad guys have once 
again strengthened the bond of Mulder & Scully (I be they are 
regretting the day they sent her to the basement). If there
was ever any doubt "I want exactly what you want" should clear 
it up. And Mulder trusts her right back to make the decision 
for them.

-That last scene still leaves me at a loss for words. I adore 
great acting.


Questions:
------------

-Did Melinda McGraw *really* show up for this episode? That coulda
 been anyone.

-Did anyone else find "lots of files", "lots and lots of files"
 really really funny?

-We really must find out the navajo translation for what Albert 
said.
