he felt things had come full circle and that if he could bring some sort of closure to this first-and-last case they had investigated together, they could move on with their lives. ("Get out of the car", as Scully put in in the Dreamland eps.) Remember, neither Mulder NOR Scully had any idea HE was in danger! They both assumed SHE was the one the aliens were after.
Remember the scene on the bed, when he told her "It has to end sometime"? A lot of people kibbitzed about that when it first aired, thinking he was telling Scully it was time for HER to leave the X-Files. But I took it to mean he meant it was time for BOTH of them to quit the X-Files and do other things with their life. I think he was thinking marriage, kids, etc. � the previous scene with Teresa's baby seemed to have put him in a family mood � and even if he was operating under the assumption, at that time, that Scully was barren, maybe he was hoping they could adopt.
I, too, feel "it has to end sometime" and rewatching "Requiem" just reconfirmed my feelings that it *REALLY* should have ended as a TV series last May. I'd much rather be looking forward to a new XF movie next summer � with Mulder, Scully and the MSR all intact � than the inspid Mulderlite season that will begin in a few weeks.
"Requiem" was a classic XF ep, one of the best ever. Whenever they air the last episode of the final "final season" of XF, I doubt it will be nearly as good.
