![]() We have William’s immortality and resurrection at the end of the show, that’s the final image. Carter explained to Den of Geek the significance of the message and how it shaped the dynamic of the finale: The painting shows Jesus in Renaissance dress as the savior of the world and master of the cosmos. The words “Salvator Mundi” (savior of the world) flash across the screen, in reference to the controversial lost Leonardo Da Vinci piece that resurfaced and sold at auction for $450 million. ![]() That means all of the season 10 finale, “My Struggle II,” was a vision of the future: What would happen if the Smoking Man got his hands on Jackson and begin a final cleanse of the earth’s population through the spartan virus.Ĭarter gave us one major clue in the text at the end of the opening credits. As we saw in “My Struggle III,” Jackson is connected to his birth mother, Scully, through visions of the future. ![]() Taken in by the Van De Kamp’s, Jackson’s abilities eventually returned as he grew older and the government caught wind. Spender did it as one final act against his father, the Smoking Man.įor the safety of the child, Scully made the decision to give him up for adoption. These superhuman abilities were stymied when a horribly deformed Jeffrey Spender injected the baby with a form of magnetite (which aliens hate!), warning that Jackson was the final thing the aliens needed for colonization. As a baby, he displayed the ability to move objects with his mind. Since his birth, Jackson has been sought after by government officials and alien cults (season 9’s “Providence”). ![]() All along it was accepted that Mulder was the father of Jackson/William, but CSM confirmed he impregnated Scully “with science,” which to be very clear is rape, and he claims he’s the true father of Jackson (on the X-Files timeline, this happened in season 7’s “En Ami”). Jackson was the first successful hybrid, a miracle child carried by Scully (who was thought to be infertile) but concocted by the Cigarette Smoking Man. As we learned in Season 11 episode 5, Jackson was conceived as part of Project Crossroads, a secret government project to create human/alien hybrids. Though the exact timeline of the season is murky, “My Struggle IV” picks up with an all-out manhunt for Jackson Van De Kamp (once known as William). There’s a plethora of questions to be answered, so we called up Chris Carter himself to help us explain what happened in The X-Files season 11 finale. If you’re looking for our critical review of “My Struggle IV,” you can find that here. We’re going to get into heavy spoilers and try to keep it as impartial as possible. There’s no guarantee Fox renews the series, though series creator Chris Carter told us he’s optimistic there will be more X-Files stories to tell, even if Gillian Anderson is true to her word and has indeed made her last appearance as Dana Scully.īefore we even begin to consider what the series would be like without Scully (and many fans on social media have vocalized they’d tune out if Anderson is absent), we need to talk through what happened in “My Struggle IV” and how it relates to the whole of The X-Files mythology. The four-part “My Struggle” saga has come to a shocking conclusion that has huge implications for The X-Files if the series is to continue beyond season 11. The world is safe from an alien pathogen… for now. This article contains heavy spoilers for The X-Files Season 11 finale.
