Review of William

The X-Files: William (2002)
Season 9, Episode 16
Underrated Season 9 Mythology Episode
27 February 2006
Despite Fox Mulder's absence, Chris Carter managed to make the last two seasons of the X-Files, highly enjoyable (with a few exceptions.) What I liked about 'William' for instance was that it was a good episode that revolved around Scully, not Doggett or Reyes. Directed by David Duchovny, the story goes on about a stranger, who states that some kind of conspiracy did tests on him that have scarred his body. Scully can't identify the man, but when the man offers her information about Mulder and starts having a strange interest in her son, William, Scully is forced to make a hard decision, which in a way wraps up some of the complex mythology that has been going on for the last three years. However,with that said people will agree/disagree with me. This episode is often criticised of being slow-paced and trying to end the on-going story of The X Files too ambitiously with a sense of emptiness. I myself, like this episode but I believe it could probably have done a lot more to appeal to a wider range of people.
