This episode just drags on and on (even from a previous one) without a single interesting thing happening. I really don't care about Scully's pregnancy, baby, cancer or any of this. I also don't care about Mulder's search for his sister. All of this stuff involving Scully's side plot boils down to sappy drama with a sci-fi background. Same with almost all of the Mulder episodes. It's boring. And irrelevant.
I'm on my fifth (or so) run of X-Files, and the fourth run was the first time I made it through the last two seasons because it diverges almost completely into this stupid drama. I had previously just skipped all the Scully (and most Mulder) episodes, but I wanted to watch them this time. It's excruciating. Not because of Scully herself, but they always wrote her episodes to be this sappy garbage. She never just goes off and does something cool by herself without any stupid sap. Season 5 has some great episodes but between this and the only mildly interesting alien stuff, it's very hit-and-miss.
