Season 2

Season 2 saw major developments in the alien\UFO existence story, starting with 'Little Green Men', and ending in 'Anasazi'. It's quite an eventful season for Scully, getting kidnapped, without an explanation as to what happened to her during captivity, and Duane Barry's unusual death didn't help matters either.

She continues to rely on Mulder to get her out of trouble, which no doubt strengthened their relationship, but the most pivotal moments are the truths they each witness, notably the introduction of the Bounty Hunter, a mysterious man most likely sent from the heavens to clean up alien mess. Mulder also manages to break off contact with Mr X (aka Deep Throat's replacement), and also manages to find\loose his sister, and loose his father.

Season 3

Season 3 really helped us build up a picture of the Smoking man, and his involvement with the Mulder's' family. He used to know Mulder's mother, worked with Bill, his father, and also has Mr X reporting to him – though does not know Mr X is talking to Mulder. Krycek has been left in a missile silo bunker with no recollection of why, though we know it's down to being a carrier for the black oil wanting to return to it's space ship. We also see the death of Bill Mulder, and Melissa Scully, Bill because he had involvement in the smoking man's work, and Melissa was simply a case of mistaken identity. Mulder's trust in Mr X took several dips, ending with the all low of 'your dead', but not is all lost since season 3 saw the funniest, most tongue in cheek episode yet – Jose Chung's “From Outer Space” wont be forgotten any time soon.

The secret society establish themselves a little more when we learn of their involvement in almost anything alien related, and Mulder has meet with two of their members now, Smoking man and well-manicured man. Though it's unlikely he knows they work together. Skinner also plays more important roles when he realises he is just a small cog in the works, and has become a target himself thanks to Mulder and Scully's investigations. After loosing his wife, and almost loosing his career, he's earned a lot more respect for the two agents, were hoping to see a lot more cooperation coming from them. Very little happened in terms of Mulder and Scully's relationship growing, though rumours have started about why this may be, ranging from brother\sister theories to memory loss at the end (!?), still, season 4 might see a kiss or two!

Season 4

Season 4 saw many interesting developments, however it also did slip towards the middle, with a rather large amount of 'dumb' episodes which didn't really do a lot, and all got a little similar.

However we ended on an absolute killer episode which saw connections being made with the Smoking man and Mulder's family, as well as possible hope for Scully's crazy Cancer. Still, with Mulder now supposedly dead... the truth may start to come out.

Season 5

Season 5 helped develop a lot of truths between Mulder and the conspiracies at work. The most crucial moments being Mulder's recovery from the dead, and the introduction of Michael Kritcroft – the DOD employee who defects from the side of evil to bring out the truth. Or is it?

Perhaps the most important moment for Mulder was his loss of faith due to believing everything Michael told him. Season 5 saw a role reversal of Mulder looking at things with a scientific eye, and due to Scully's loss of her daughter Emily – her mind becomes more open to paranormal ideas.

Smoking apparently dies at the beginning of Season 5, only to return at the end because Krycek, and the fellow council needed his help, we also see the introduction of multiple-abductee Cassandra Spender... Agent Spender's mother, who were quite sure will have a more significant role in Season 6.

Season 6

Season 6 saw the rise and fall of the great colonization conspiracy. We learnt (almost all in one episode) that aliens want the planet, and which aliens are doing what. Cassandra Spender played a big part in updating us all of their intentions, and Agent Spenders death – which went rather unnoticed ended a string of conspiracies, as did the death of the security council (with the exception of Cigarette Smoking Man).

Things took a dip after all that and nothing interesting happened for a while, that is until a couple of old guests came in to say hello, but it's the new conspiracy that's got us all intrigued, and Mulder certainly didn't finish the season in a fit shape. It's up to Scully now for season 7 to find out what's happened.

Diana seems more then willing to lend a hand, though we know now she's working with the Smoking Man, and Krycek – who was once loyal to Well Manicured man, who is now dead, has no one to work for, and seems to have gone rouge. We certainly know he's no friends with C.G.B Spender.

Season 7

Season 7 had four massive plot turns. Samantha's case is resolved, Mulder goes missing, Scully is pregnant and CGB Spender dies! It's hard to keep up with all the other deaths etc, and we also see the first on screen kiss with Mulder and Scully. This probably was the last true X-Files season, but time will tell as we move into season 8.

Season 8

With every season that passes it seems more and more is crammed into it. Season 8 saw the return of Mulder, the death of Krycek and the birth of William. We also got introduced to Monica Reyes, Doggett's friend, and the relationship between them strengthen. Mulder got straight back to work, only to be fired for destroying an oil rig, so spends the rest of the season tagging along – even though he's pretty much two steps ahead of everyone.

Knowle plays an increasing part and Billy Miles returns as the complete opposite to when he first started. Then of course, there's Skinner who's basically become a full time member of the X-Files team. Though he slowly becomes more open to extreme possibilities when his life is endangered, he still chickens out at the beginning of Season 9. Read on to find out how it all ends!

It's now becoming slowly clear that the X-Files has three possible endings. I''m going to take a leap of faith now and suggest the three ideas, but first, lets look over some facts which may help in these ideas:

1. Scully's baby is special. William posses telekinetic skills and possibly has alien\unknown DNA.
2. Billy Miles, thought to be evil – allowed William to be born, even though he had the chance to stop it.
3. Gibson – the kid with abilities similar to William, keeps running into bad guys who want to kill him, mostly the alien bounty hunters.
4. Krycek turned good for his final moments in the X-Files, suggesting he's lost control of the situation, and wants help. Since he's only ever saved his own skin... things could be getting worse.

Now for my ideas!

Aliens!

The bounty hunters and human replacements (Billy Miles) could well be aliens intent on taking over the earth, should this happen, only Scully's baby can stop them, thanks to Williams unique DNA, similar to that of Gibson. Doggett and Scully's efforts were attempted to be side tracked by the lights of Knowle and Shannon – other alien replacements, by feeding them some fake story of super soldiers. I hope this is the winner.

Super Soldiers!

Or maybe this super solders story is true. Billy Miles and the like are indeed super soldiers created by Knowle's friends in the Military. They have been bread to prevent the alien invasion, or to possibly take over the world for some unknown reason.

Religion

I know, it's vague. But lately there have been some rather scary suggestions and references to William being some kind of messiah like character with god-like abilities. This would be a rather crap ending to the X-Files, and I hope it doesn't come to this, but it's a possibility non the less.

Season 9

And finally we come to the end...
