With this season, the show has started to heavily focus its time on the mythology aspect, setting up an overarching story that will probably go throughout the entire show. It was a good guess that we wouldn't get all the answers by the end of this season, but there were a lot of loose ends that the show definitely needed to touch upon and add some more information to in order to make the season feel overall satisfying. With this finale, it feels like the show is kinda trying to figure out where to go with it all, but the directions are all quite fascinating.
The entire season has very much been focused on Mulder and how all of his personal problems are really what has led him to this point. It made sense that the finale would continue to poke into his past, but it did come up with some very interesting twists that weren't that easy to predict beforehand. It does manage to cap certain things off quite fast and it may have gone a little too fast for an audience desperate for the nice conspiracy elements that the show tackles around so well. However, the show has plenty of intrigue and the main storyline places our lead characters in another fight with the people that they are supposed to serve, although this time they may be the ones on the opposite side of the law. The episode seems to lead up to a point that would have big repercussions for the rest of the show, but that point never really arrives, and instead, we are left with a very frustrating ending that simply leaves a lot more questions than answers. That is not necessarily a bad thing, but for a show that is so obsessed with setting up mysteries, it would be nice if they would give us a little payoff once in a while. Whether or not this will actually lead to anything significant, or if the next season will simply be more of the same, we'll not know yet, but it's clear that Mulder and Scully have hard times ahead, and I'll be there all the way.
"Anasazi" is a very good finale that leaves the show on a high note with a lot of twists and turns and a very surprising ending. However, there are certain frustrations that come up in the show's seeming unwillingness to give clear answers, although the directions are interesting enough to still keep the audience invested.
