Review of William

The X-Files: William (2002)
Season 9, Episode 16
5/10
Incredulous storytelling.....again
22 July 2021
Yet another episode displaying how the series declined towards the end. Poorly written with incredulous decisions once again by Scully to let complete strangers stay in her house with easy access to her baby. Says a lot about a series where we are willing to believe in UFOs and aliens, but they throw it all the way in writing in bizarre character decisions that don't fit in with what we know about them. Also, the desperation of Chris Carter and the other producers trying to cling on to the over-stretched conspiracy arc (that should have finished 2 seasons ago) is embarrassing. The original concept of the X-Files was about FBI agents investigating un-explainable cases. The sky's the limit from that point, the writers can imagine whatever they like and have produced some excellent episodes over the years. Instead, they've ran out of ideas and seem to have given up the game by this point. Last episode was called jump the shark, might as well call 'can't be bothered to jump the shark'.
