But we’re opening up “The Bloom Files” to find out. This week, Mike (@AMikeBloomType) and Angela Bloom (@angpalaggi) finish off “The X-Files” season 9 with two very different episodes. “Sunshine Days” is the last Monster of the Week episode, as a blast from the past has the group facing a very unusual rerun of “The Brady Bunch.” And in the two-part finale “The Truth,” Mulder finally reappears for a culmination of the series up to that point…or at least, it was meant to be. Next week “The Bloom Files” will discuss “The X-Files: I Want to Believe,” as well as Seasons 10 & 11 of “The X-Files.” Write in your feedback for those episodes to xfiles@postshowrecaps.com or bloomfiles@postshowrecaps.com.
