(I guess I’ve reached the acceptance stage on this subject?)  Here’s the thing: In terms of dramatic clues...so many things point into the direction of a pregnancy. It’s insane.  Also: You’re not a subtle as you think you are, CC.  In terms of proven madness of its creator: Also pointing towards a pregnancy of our female lead as a possibility.  My naive optimism: Naaah, no pregnancy there.  My refuge: The X-Files universe is so vast and ...hey...there’s always a possibility that CC might pull the “it’s all been a dream”-card. So: I’m free to accept this ep as real or canon or none of it. I mean -  I barely even watched seasons 8 and 9.  My actual super chaotic all-over-the-place-late night thoughts on a pregnancy: I don’t think it’s ridiculous in the XF universe for Scully to be pregnant. My problem with a pregnancy is not its scientific improbability in OUR universe. It’s more the fact that I’ve thought it to be a weak storytelling choice. Like - Scully can only be happy with a kid? I would probably be happier about it if the conversation Mulder and her had in PLUS ONE had been setting this whole thing up a little smoother. And if it hadn’t been the only thing pointing in this direction. If it hadn’t felt like being struck by a hammer. Like: WTF? Where’s this coming from now?! (Dear CC - just don’t write relationship scenes. I mean at this point you should fucking KNOW that you’re not fit to do them. Just give that stuff to Morgan/Wong/Nielsen. Goddamn it.) I mean...Scully’s desire to have a child has been adressed on the show...I guess. And while I agree that it’s fucked up to have her reduced to a fertility vessel ...why shouldn’t she decide on her own to have a child and actually have one...again? Without anyone meddling with her reproductive organs or whatsoever?  Ok, we probably never know how that was possible ...and now I’m having a million questions in my mind about how they’re gonna handle that...  Like: Is this another case of CC thinking he’s giving fans what they fucking want? (Holy shit.) Is it him saying...ok...this might be it...so...why not end it with them having another kid? Y’all were in love with William, right? (Goddamn it, that was only because you started telling a story but didn’t really finish it, Christopher! :/) Anyway, maybe CC thought to himself: I won’t even have to deal with them having a kid if this is the last season... It will just be like them kissing and then being in a boat. This will be this season’s version of a kiss. People will love it. (:/). But: Why would you write a kid/baby in this show if you were CC and thought TXF continued? (All of this is so weird. Lord have mercy on CC and all of us.) Another question I have is:  Is the pregnancy-thing adressed (for the first time) in the last scene Gillian and David shot? Did they learn about it relatively shortly before shooting the scene - when they were given the sides/script pages??? WTF.  I’m not 100% ready to COMPLETELY condemn this whole thing (if it should happen). Maybe it kinda works? But the thing is that it COULD work just most likely not in the hands of CC? I mean, there’s 99% probability that this ep will be mostly crappy in its aesthetic, dialogue - with a few nice moments.  I mean: Or the pregnancy thing could actually be a somewhat beautiful moment in a messy weird-ass episode with one or two more little sweet moments?
