Episode Synopsis:
An ancient artifact is unearthed in Africa, striking at the very heart of The X-Files
--but the search for its meaning takes a grave toll on agent Mulder.
 

Episode Review:
I am kind of disappointed to say that this is not on of the best finales... overall, it was an "okay episode", but when I think of great finales, I think of Anasazi, or The End, but this one just didn't seem to have their overwhelming power. Now that I'm passed that, let me talk about the good stuff! I felt that there was some great acting in this ep, and I was happy that many characters were actually in it; not only was Skinner, CSM, and Krycek present, but Fowley (whom I REALLY love to hate), and the long-time-no-see Albert Hosteen were both visiting. Also, as you can see above, I LOVED some of the camera shots of M & S... Great faces!.
 

Episode Rating(s):
Overall Rating:
(on a scale from 1-10, 1 being: "My invisible pet goldfish could've come up with a better plot than that!" (the lowest episode in this category, Travelers, scored a 2.5) and 10 being: "Who let God loose on the set?" (Jose Chung's Final Repose, The Field Where I died, Small Potatoes, Triangle, and many more are in this one!)
I give it a... 7!
'Shippy' Rating:
(on a scale from 1-10, 1 being: "CC is a DEAD MAN!" {authors note: this is not a threat! ::evil grin::}  (the lowest episodes in this category, 3, The Field Where I died, Never Again, and a few others  scored as low as 1) {another authors note: just because these episodes have scored low in this category, it doesn't mean that they aren't good ones, I happen to love TFWID even though I'm a Fence Sitter} and 10 being: "So . . . What name did Fox and Dana say they were going to name the baby?" (Triangle is a peeeeeerfect 10 here!)
I give it a... 4.5! (That little Fowley moment kind of ruined it for me...)

Memorable Quotes:

MULDER: "I am just a hired gun for the FBI."
 

SCULLY: "Mulder... look, after all you've done, after all you've uncovered-- a conspiracy of men doing human experiments, men who are all now dead-- you exposed their secrets. I mean, you've won. What more could you possibly hope to do or to find?"
MULDER: "My sister."

MULDER: "I'm sorry. I thought this was my office."

MULDER: "In 1996, a rock from Mars was found in Antarctica. How did it get there?"
SCULLY: "It was from outer space."
(MULDER throws his arms up triumphantly.)

SCULLY: (on phone) "(sighs) Mulder, this, uh, artifact if I'm to believe what I'm being told about it..."
MULDER: (on phone) "What?"
SCULLY: (on phone) "It has a passage on it from Genesis."
MULDER: (on phone) "Scully, that artifact is extraterrestrial."
SCULLY: (on phone) "Mulder, it can't be."
MULDER: (on phone) "Did you know what that would mean?"
SCULLY: (on phone) "No, it would mean nothing, Mulder."
MULDER: (on phone) "No, it would mean that our progenitors were alien, that our genesis was alien, that we're here because of them; that they put us here."
SCULLY: (on phone) "Mulder, that is science fiction. It doesn't hold a drop of water."
MULDER: (on phone) "You're wrong. It holds everything. Don't you see? All the mysteries of science everything we can't understand or won't explain, every human behaviorism- cosmology, psychology, everything in the X-Files-- it all owes to them. It's from them."
 

SCULLY: "You're both liars."

Memorable Quotes:
Scully: "Mulder, psychic surgery is some man dipping his hand in a bucket
of chicken guts and pretending to remove tumors from the sick and gullible."
 

Scully: "Well, medicine as you're referring to, is about keeping people
alive."
 

Scully: "Well, crime is only as perfect as the man and the mind that commits it.  Even if it were perfect, even if he made not one mistake, there's still his motive.  Find his motive and you find the murderer."
 

Mulder: "Hey, you weren't joking about being late.  I was about to start
slicing and dicing myself."
 

Scully: "Mulder, this... is nothing more than a tool... used by a
love-lorn Romeo who just happens to be your next door neighbor."
 

Scully: "Frightening, as in too much information and intimate detail."
 

Padget: "Special Agent Dana Scully, had herself, become simply aroused."
 

Mulder: "Mr. Popularity."
 

Mulder: "Let's just say, it ends with you doing the naked pretzel with the
stranger, on a bed in an unfurnished fourth floor apartment."
 

Padget: "I wrote that Agent Scully falls in love, but that is not
possible.  Agent Scully is already in love."
