The X-Files Season 11: 10 Things We Learned From My Struggle, Part III
3. A New Faction Of The Syndicate Has Risen
My Struggle, Part III spends a lot of time with Agents Mulder and Scully separated. Scully's story follows her visions and hospital stay. For Mulder, it's tracking down the Smoking Man, by following a car that was originally tailing him.
While he never does find ol' Smokey, in his place, he does find another member of the Syndicate, with cronies. Saying that he has gone by many names, this shadowy figure — also a smoker — implores Mulder to help them stop the Smoking Man. Why? Well, because they want to help save the world, of course.
Mulder sees through this facade. When confronted, they admit what they're really after: colonizing the stars. They're closer than you might think, they claim. Mulder tells them that "they want blood in streets" and points out that there's no way they could possibly evacuate the entire population of planet Earth.
No, they admit, just a chosen few. But Mulder can be one of those few, if only he were willing to join with them. He's the only one who can save the human race.
To that, Mulder has another answer: he knows someone else who can save them. Dana Scully.
What did we learn here? What's left of the Syndicate is once again in a power struggle. It's not the first time, but it may very well be the last.
