10 Times The X-Files Mythology Confused Fans
3. Scully’s Barren, Nope, Scully’s Pregnant
X-Files have taken a lot of flak for the treatment dished out to the character of Dana Scully over the years. In no particular order, Scully has been kidnapped, given cancer and lost a daughter she didn’t know she had.
In season two, Scully was abducted by the unhinged Duane Barry and experimented on by persons unknown. Later, we learn Scully’s ovum has been stolen and she is unable to conceive as a result. It’s a heartbreaking loss for the beloved character to endure.
But Wait...
In the final episode of season seven, Scully tells her shocked boss, Walter Skinner that she’s pregnant and as the credits rolled, viewers scratched their heads trying to work out how it happened.
Was it a lie? A dream? Nope. It turned out Scully’s pregnancy was a miracle. Hmm.
