Kristen Dunst was in that episode, wasn't she? I remember that. Yes, Scully waving the cure around was dumb. She would have been mobbed. The stem cells plot makes no sense. Even if they find the kid in the next episode...well the leap in logic there really didn't work and considering how fast Mulder progressed he will be pushing up daisies rather quickly.
Yeah, now she wants the kid. I know the adoption was for his protect...blah blah, but William really out to tell them to go take a hike. You don't get to undo an adoption to harvest cells. Of CSM obviously knows damn well where he is.
The timeline of this episode was ridiculous. We needed to see more than Tad's internet show and some sick people at the hospital. What gas shortage? How did Scully create a cure so fast. How did they drive to SC and back so fast? This should have been the entire 6 episodes. You can't shove the apocalypse into one hour and have it make any sense. The end of the world requires more story.
