Now This is more like it.
But CSMs claim stays tucked away for now, and thats fine by me.
Why let one bad apple spoil the whole bunch?

If she hasnt moved back in permanently, she at least seems to be heading in that direction).
Welcome to the newX-Files, same as the oldX-Files.
Langly, one of Mulders trio of hacker friends The Lone Gunmen, seems like himself but not.
He says, I believe you knew me as Langly and asks, Am I dead?
If I am, they know that I know.
History is written by the authorities.
The soldiers come in shooting, pinning Mulder and Scully to the ground while Al retrieves Mulders phone.
Theyve never been cooler.
you could practically hear the theme song over that last bit.
Its trust no one to the extreme.
Hes dead because the world was so dangerous and complexthen, Mulder marvels.
Whod have thought wed look back with nostalgia and say that was a simpler time?
Mulder knows how easy it is to rewrite history; nothing is ever as we remember it.
What does this mean?
How will we remember him in two weeks?
Or maybe theyll just need a computer.
(And who was lobbied for jurisdiction?
Then-director Mueller, who now heads an investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.)
Thats the point of them.
Hasnt it always been Mulders goal for the truth to be known?
How does fringe work function in the mainstream?
How do you like that?
Mulder jokes without joking.
The FBI finally found out what its like to be looked upon as a little spooky.
The whole Bureau is one big basement office.
Which, of course, means Mulder and Scully arent safe in the Bureau at all.
When the exception becomes policy, theres no room for what made it exceptional.
With Skinners help, Mulder and Scully scan the database only to find that Langly has been erased.
The title references a corner in New York City that was once a center of gay nightlife.
At the very least, they wanted a life eternal together.
Right til his last breath.
And hes not dead.
Langlys definition of living forever seemed less literal and more to do with legacy.
But maybe Im remembering him wrong.
Langly sure seems to be remembering Mulder right he picked the best people to trust with this.
We dream, but were not allowed to have dreams.
Scully, a woman of faith for all her scientific degrees, doesnt.
(Bye-bye, Ringo.)
He disappears; the white-haired assassin takes his place.
