I downloaded the episode after I was spoilt about their deaths (not here).

Chris Carter has a nerve.

A columnist said this about their death and I agree 100%:

"That's it! They're dead! Thanks a lot! Why not blow up the Enterprise at the end of Star Trek? Have Magnum PI decapitated by a helicopter blade at the end of the series? Have Luke Skywalker take a hunk of shrapnel at the end of Return of the Jedi, and die screaming as he attempts to put his guts back into his abdomen? Look, Chris Carter: you don't step on Superman's cape. You don't spit into the wind. You don't pull the mask off the ol' Lone Ranger and you don't kill the Lone Gunmen."

Sad, really.

The Gunmen, aside from having their own show (which was great, albeit short-lived), have been one of the few constants since the show began some nine years ago. Now only Scully & Skinner are left from the show's first season (not including Mulder's return in the finale).

You can't kill comic characters.

I look forward to many new adventures here on this site. If I wasn't so busy, I'd volunteer to write some stories myself.
