Just saw it today and I have to agree with some of your points. I won't go so far as to say it was... disappointing... it just could have been made a bit better. I think there were a ton of loose ends just flappin' in the breeze. I think Chris Carter was doing his best to appeal to a wider audience, but I think he sort of missed the mark with the actual X-Files crowd. I dunno... was it an X-File? Maybe. I guess the way they wrapped it up with the connections between the criminals and Father Joe, it's up to your particular point of view in determining whether it was an X-File or not... believers will undoubtedly believe that Father Joe was having the visions while skeptics will believe the opposite. I enjoyed it though.

And Miss Scully looked so darn good. *swooooooooooooooon*

And is it me or do you have a Skinner hang-up or something? ;-)
