Shame that Mulder and Scully's mini-mes just vanished into thin air though I suppose the writers didn't want to risk another "Doggett and Reyes" (they certainly didn't get ingrained into the pop culture consciousness, have they now?). David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson's chemistry remains great, it knows when to be funny and when to be serious, does a better job with Skinner than the previous season and demonstrate that even after all these years, the people involved still have a few ideas left in there (I did like the mostly dialogue-free episode the second-best piece of media released in 2018 about people being quiet I've seen). The MOTW episodes though? They're a ton of fun and do a great job hearkening back to the glory days. Probably set up a spin-off: Son of The X-Files or some such nonsensical title.
It doesn't feel like much of a cliffhanger to me especially since the MOTW episodes tended to mostly end on ignored sequel hooks.

At the very least, the de facto series finale ended on a slightly better note than S9. After all, it's pretty clear the mythology has meant diddly squat since S6. You know what the best part about the mythology episodes was? Seeing Reddit throw a hissy fit over the controversial twists and how they're structured more like 24 than The X-Files (fitting considering that 24 pretty much stole The X-Files' thunder back in the early 2000's 9/11 made damn sure of that and the BTS features confirm that Fox's former biggest non-Simpsons cash cow was revived because of 24: Live Another Day being a ratings hit).
