Pros: Good season finale
Cons: not much direction
For many X-Files fans conspiracy and suspense is what kept them tuning in for many years. With the conspiracy unravelled in the previous season and the stories not as plot driven, it left for a rather dull season.

The issue of Mulder's sister's whereabouts is wrapped up neatly but your left with the "That's it?" taste in your mouth when it's over. Season seven does have its good episodes. "Brand X" and the season finale, "Requiem" are standouts including a season ending cliff-hanger which fans come to expect.
