The X-Files: Biogenesis (1999)
Season 6, Episode 22
6/10
Did someone just move the goal posts?

A strange metallic artefact washes up on The African coast, it is brought to The U. S. and is thought to prove that extra terrestrial life existed on Earth.

I have been blown away by the quality of Series 6, and I went into this series finale with incredibly high expectations, I hate to say it, but for the most part, I felt a little disappointed.

If I didn't know better, I would have said that the show was in the hands of new people, new writers and producers, it just feels so different to what's gone before. Even the camera work looks so different. The appearances of some of the regulars feels odd somehow, as though they were made to fit around the new plot.

It feels as though we were given structure to The X Files from the black oil arc, that all feels somehow to have been ditched, in favour of a new thread.

Very well acted of course, it looks great, and once again boasts some strong production values.

Not a favourite of mine, 6/10.
