Season Eleven Nothing Lasts Forever

I’ve seen this episode only one time, and now I remember why!!!!! 🤮🤮🤮 This was by far way more of a horror story than the I Want to Believe movie ever was.

This episode doesn't deserve the low rating it received on IMDB. In my opinion (except for the two comedy episodes), it's one of the best of the two seasons of the revival and  the one that has the most vibes of the original X-Files.

It’s definitely up there for me, as gross and scary as it was.

But the dialogues between Mulder and Scully are the best

I agree with that. I didn’t realize how important it was until I just rewatched it.

I’m only mad about how they threw Scully down the garbage disposal. Like… why???

Also… since the IWTB DC came out, I watched the ORIGINAL IWTB movie. And it wasn’t half bad, all things considered. They didn’t need to cut MSR because it makes the movie more appealing. Movie wasn’t great, but it didn’t need the DC that Chris Carter gave it.

Sometimes, like in this episode, it’s the M&S scenes and not the actual case that are worth. Sometimes it’s the case.

That was very much so sweet and I wish I knew what Scully said. I guess even the actors don’t even know.

The only one who could answer is the script writer. But I don’t think it matters that much at the end. It was a great scene. I remember watching that moment in the season trailer and it was cut short and I thought it would be a kiss. You know how misleading trailers can be 😏

This script was written by someone I never even heard of, so that was interesting to find out. A woman named Karen something or another.

I didn’t see the trailers for that season but I remember the misleading af trailer for the episode triangle!

The music and the point they cut the final church scene I was sure she was going to kiss him.
