As season 11 of The X-Files comes to an end, creator Chris Carter is forced to defend the show’s frankly bizarre swansong for Agent Dana Scully.
However, remembering when season 8 and 9 ran largely without Duchovney, the cancelation of The X-Files now could be a good thing.
The X-Files has preempted Anderson’s departure for a while now, and fans assumed that Carter would give the character a definitive end in the show’s waning years.
If the show miraculously made it to season 12, how would the Carter explain away Scully and her bouncing baby?
