This movie has defiantly caused controversy, yet most real fans I'd expect would be glad just have the X-Files up and running again. So it wasn't the best script, with not much in the way of the paranormal, but just to see Mulder and Scully baiting each other, with Mulder's crazy theories and Scully's skeptic disbelief.

- have her suddenly be found after all this time, and have to explain how and why she has been abducted
-have her turn up and say she just of ran away from home (that would be a SERIOUS screw-up on their part... fans would go wild!)
- have her dead, causing Mulder to of wasted his life...
OR
- avoid the issue totally...
Oooh choices!
