five thousand shades of blue

I finally watched last week's
X-Files and I find I am having quite the opposite reaction to most people around me: I feel like I have been emotionally manipulated in the worst way. As I mentioned
elsewhere, I felt what happened (trying not to be too spoiler-ish) was a cheap emotional ploy that I'm sure will come back to bite Chris Carter in the ass. Yeah, I cried a bit too, but at the same time I was thoroughly pissed off. I hate when TV shows kill a character just because they can with no thought to the future (and from what I understand, there will be a movie future).
Then again, I just thought of something I hadn't before. During the crucial scene... hands on glass a la Kirk and Spock in
Wrath of Khan. And hell, they brought back Spock. Death is never final in fictional universes.
(I can't guarantee a spoiler-free comment environment nor can I remove entries, so proceed at your own risk. :D )
is
this just not enough…?
