Fitzsimmons conclude la propria recensione come segue:
There is no attempt to compare, contrast, or explain in any depth the transtextual narratives the authors utilized or the data they unearthed. Description in the guise of analysis is a trap that continues to haunt this form of investigation. Thus, while having the best intentions and coming tantalizingly close to their purpose, the authors have simply recreated a set of “enticing and amusing” narratives that have a paratextual and archetextual similarity to The X Files.
