The X-Files

I feel like they petered out on everything, enabling future movies to answer & create more mystery forever more.
I've tried to read Wikipedia or whatever to research how things supposedly tied up, it all seems so nuanced & un-concrete.

For me, The X-Files concluded with the first film. The gov't using E.T. science for secret geopolitics or whatever to help humankind is the best worst conclusion I'll settle with.

The series was supposed to end at season 5 (it's why the finale is called The End) and Fight the Future was to be the first in a series of movies that would eventually resolve things. However, the show was still hugely popular and the studio wanted it to continue.

For me the real ending was when the aliens kill off the Syndicate in the middle season six. The bad guys are dead and the invasion has been stopped. There was no real reason to go on after that and I think Biogenesis and The Sixth Extinction Parts 1 & 2 really show how unprepared Carter was to deal with what happens next.
