10 Times The X-Files Mythology Confused Fans
7. Samantha’s Fate Revealed
Perhaps, the most famous X-Files mystery is the fate of Mulder’s sister, Samantha. Over the course of the show‘s run. the writers experimented with different reasons for her disappearance but never went as far as answering the question fully.
They even planted clues she was alive and Mulder’s own Father as good as confirmed it when he spoke to him from the afterlife.
But Wait...
Season 7 came along and with it, the news David Duchovny (Mulder) would not return as a full-time cast member. It meant hastily wrapping up the hero’s search for his sister and when viewers learned she was dead before his search began, they knew it flew in the face of everything the show had told them up to that point.
Making matters worse, Samantha was said to have been taken by a walk-in. Urgh.
