10 Times The X-Files Mythology Confused Fans
1. Scully Shrugs Off Her Son’s Death
Let's stick with William for the final entry in our list. Remember how Scully had to give her little boy up to keep him safe?
Well, in the revival series it was revealed Scully has never stopped thinking about her son; a perfectly natural state for a mother to be in. Viewers watched in the hope they would be reunited once again. What better way to end the series, right?
But Wait...
In the final moments of the series 11 finale, CSM murders William and Scully tells Mulder he wasn’t William’s father.
What’s weird about this scene is Scully’s cold reaction to her only child’s death. She pretty much writes the boy off as collateral damage, branding him an experiment, and tells Mulder she’s pregnant again; and this time it’s his baby. (Better check that one out, Fox.)
It felt wrong on so many levels and enraged loyal viewers who felt the storyline's resolution was poorly handled.
