Message: <blockquote data-quote="James from London" data-source="post: 446004" data-attributes="member: 22">I think a lifetime of watching soap operas has taught me that it's all about the journey not the eventual destination. The X-Files was the first US show I became obsessed with after the demise of the '80s supersoaps and I was especially enthralled by the mythology episodes, with their endless peelings away of layer after layer, but I don't remember giving much thought to what was waiting at the end of it. When the original series ended with Mulder and Scully still out there, still looking for the truth, I was fine with that. It felt true to the characters and the world they inhabited. As Daniel says, every show is its own beast, but very generally speaking, I like an open-ended finale -- Peyton Place, Dynasty, Knots, The Sopranos, The X-Files, New Dallas (aside from the fact that I really didn't want New Dallas to end at all). I don't necessarily require everything to be neatly resolved.</blockquote>
