    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Adenosine deaminase (ADA) - the gene product inhibited by the Spartan virus - is an actual enzyme. Hereditary defects in the enzyme can lead to a condition known as Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID), which leaves patients at risk for severe infections like those depicted. A treatment for the condition is to introduce a functional immune system into the patient via bone marrow transplant like Scully suggests for Mulder.
    • Goofs
      The Cigarette Smoking Man has a tracheostomy. He should not be able to speak unless a special device were attached to the tracheostomy (not apparent in this episode). Generally, a tracheostomy has to be covered to allow someone to speak. Please note that the word "tracheostomy" refers to the placement of a tube in the trachea while "tracheotomy" is just the act of cutting into the trachea. "Tracheostomy" is the correct term in this use.
    • Quotes

      [to Mulder]

      Cigarette Smoking Man: Every man has his weakness. Mine was always just cigarettes.

    Why are some people upset about this finale!?!?
    I genuinely have to believe that the only individuals that did not approve of this episode are those who are new to the show. Sure, Babylon wasn't their strongest episode, (I still honestly enjoyed it and I think most people missed the point and what it was trying to say) but as a whole, this season was brilliant and exactly the type of revival that I was hoping for.

    They maintained strong adaptation to characters, plots and sub-plots without acting like this was a final wrap up. I went into this season expecting that this was going to the beginning of the end - a way to introduce us to how Chris will potentially give the two greatest characters on TV a satisfying and absolutely final conclusion.

    So everyone who wasn't satisfied by this episode or season, you need to go back in time and watch the original seasons (at LEAST the mythology episodes). Because this was perfect. And it breaks my heart that some people thought it was anything but.
