Struggle 4

William's struggle

This is my wish list in advance of The X-Files Season 11 final episode "My Struggle IV").

1. William
My expectation is that we will learn about William's struggle to survive and build a (normal? livable?) life for himself. As a science fiction fan, I hope we learn something "juicy" such as how alien technology/DNA is what powers William's telepathic powers.

2. Aliens

Alien spaceship

The X-Files has long teased fans with aliens, alien spacecraft and "alien DNA". I'm not happy that the teaser video from FOX TV for the final episode is full of gun violence and has no mention of aliens.

3. Dana's Immortality
The X-Files has had fun with the idea that Dana is immortal. We were told that she has a chunk of "alien DNA" that can protect her from the Spartan Virus. With Anderson leaving the show, it would be fun if there was a dramatic end point for Dana Scully here at the end of Season 11.

4. X-Files the Next Generation

I'd like the Season 11 finale to make clear that the X-Files could go on, even without Anderson and (my preference) without Chris Carter in control.

I'd like to see the mysterious Mr. Y show up with a spaceship that uses alien technology. The remnants of the Syndicate want to take William off into outer space and provide a new beginning for humanity, however, at the last minute they settle for taking Dana away from Earth. Mulder gets to go along for the ride.

William uses his telepathic abilities to trick Skinner and the CSM into shooting each other. Even after a catastrophic head wound, there could be a scene at the end suggesting that the CSM is immortal, due to the alien medical nanites that are in his body.

Season 12

The Y-Files
Season 12 would begin with a new international investigative agency continuing on in the spirit of the X-Files. In the background would be William and other humans who have unusual abilities due to their alien DNA and their control of alien nanite technology.
