I don't know where to put this so I'll put it here:

Here's the thing about the ending.

The phone is off the hook and there's a handprint in the dust. Scully may have been the victim of a violent kidnapping.

The reason I do like the ending is that we are Richard, and just like him, we don't know what the hell is going on. A lesser writer might wimp out and tie it all up with a bow. Punk makes the harder choice - to unsettle the reader. Which is awesome.
