  • Mytharc rewatch

    From Meghan Fitzgerald@RICKSBBS to All on Saturday, June 07, 2025 14:02:41
    So recently I've been doing a mythology episode only rewatch and firstly I
    have to say how thoroughly I've enjoyed it! It's been like watching one big movie. Saying that, I'm now coming to the end of season 8 and I'm
    definitely done with the overall mytharc. The season 7 finale Requiem (a top 20 all time favourite episode for me) could of ideally been an ending to the whole series but I feel it's too much of a cliff hanger to just stop watching it there. Looking at the mythology episodes coming up in season 9 I think I'm
    just going to end it on the season 8 finale essence/existence.

    I'd actually consider continuing with the mythology episodes of Season 9. I recently did a Mytharc-only rewatch too, and in my opinion, they flow much better without the MOTW episodes breaking them up. Season 9 is probably the most disjointed when it comes to tone; the MOTWs focus heavily on Doggett and Reyes with very little Scully, while the mythology dives straight into the William arc, with Mulder's absence becoming a central emotional thread. The Truth also works, at least in parts, as a fitting ending, especially with that final motel scene mirroring the Pilot. It gives the series a sense of closure that I found satisfying.
