what happens
Mulder and Scully rush to find an on-the-run William while the Cigarette Smoking Man pushes forward with his ultimate plan.

how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score — the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.
Read from 29 comments — 8 said when.
The number holds — it is read from every comment. The shape is not settled: only 8 said when something happened, and below 20 the same evidence split in half draws two different pictures. Drawn faint for that reason.
Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

- gold above

- grey haze
- how sure we are — wider means fewer people described it
what people actually wrote
Grouped by where it was written, because a considered review and a reaction typed an hour after the credits are different things. Every quote links to its source.

“CC’s big emotional climax for the finale is one in which Scully tells Mulder that William isn’t his son, and really not her son too in a lot of ways, but a scientific experiment (which we are lead to believe has something to do with the chip on her neck.) Then with her next breath, she tells Mulder they’re going to be parents again and with the heavily implied subtext of “for realsies” (imho) this time as if she’s 100% sure the chip she still has in her neck has nothing to do with it?! ugh.”
