Our next story was also nominated by lsugaralmond. It's another all things missing scene, because she suggested that it might be interesting to compare and contrast. So, go to it!

I think that "Confirmation" was closer to the mood of "All Things," but that this story is closer to the mood of the show as a whole. Or at least to the mood of seasons six and seven, which is where this is clearly situating itself.

So, do you think if I had liked "All Things" more I would have liked "Confirmation" better? I agree, it is in some ways a better fit with the episode. This story feeling more like it belongs in season seven makes sense to me, too.

Both of these stories are so good that I want to re-watch the episode now. Maybe "Dreamland," too, to check out that closet/bedroom of Mulder's.

I don't know, I didn't adore "All Things" myself. It was one of those episodes that was fascinating but terribly flawed. I like this story because it takes the basic feel of the episode and does something productive with it, rather than deciding to throw the baby out with the bathwater.
