The Truth is a strange kind of ending to a wonderful series. I have mixed feelings about it because it really doesn't bring the kind of ending to the show that I might have liked to see, but at the same time, I don't really know what I would have done differently to make it any better. I do kind of like some of the summary of the show we get from the trial scenes, but at the same time it gives the episode a kind of clip show feeling that takes away from it. I am all for the reappearance of some of the favorite characters who have since passed on. But I did wish there was a little more X and a little less Krycek. I like how the episode begins with the "what are you thinking" line and how the episode also ends the way the series began in a motel room discussing the truth. Although I have to admit that I much prefer the Pilot hotel scene to the finale hotel scene. In the Pilot there is still so much mystery and suspense and excitement, but in the finale there is a feeling of loss and unfinished business that may not ever be addressed. There seem to be a lot of ends left open. What happened to Skinner and Kersch? What happened to Doggett and Reyes? Even in the movie that came out recently we don't get much answer to these questions. We know that Skinner is apparently still alive and well and seems to have become someone important but thats about it. I felt that this was a good episode in itself but a poor conclusion to the series.
