but then the question is what saves them. it’s not really like how the ghosts and dreamland, where they’re saved by knowing each other and listening to each other; they still do both here, but it almost feels incidental compared to pam, who’s actually driving the story. mulder and scully talk about changing fate, but I've never been convinced that's really what the episode is about — on a visceral level, fate wins, and it’s horrifying and catastrophic and anonymizing. pam dies to save people who will never remember exactly what her death meant. the only hope in the episode is for mulder and scully, who get to keep living, and they don’t even know what that means. they don’t know they just got proof that their relationship is immortal and can’t die. that feels less like changing fate and more like fate. in the big picture, the idea is that they might be fated, but they still have to choose it. but in monday the choice isn’t theirs. the season is so submerged in their heads, it’s all in their heads, but then there’s this episode that pulls back and puts them in context of all these people around them whose lives are affecting theirs, and it’s a jolt. they don’t always bury their dead alive. sometimes they don’t even know them
