  1. Tough to pull this off... by SparksMcGee · · Score: 5, Insightful
    Although I love the show and I think that Robert Patrick honestly did his best as John Doggett to live up to the series during the seasons after Duchovny left, I have to say that the quality of the episodes and and absurd continuity of the plots winevitably went significantly downhill. Frankly, without Fox Mulder the X-Files jumped the shark, big time. By the finale I was just hoping for some closure to what had once been an amazing show and now just wasn't worth it any more.

    I think that it's going to be tough to make any sort of effective movie, especially consdiering the ridiculous "super-soldier" motif we were left with, the complete lack of Mulder during the last seasons, the killing off of such key characters as Cancer man and the Lone Gunmen (easily some of the best side characters of any show, ever), and the commercial flop the last movie had. I mean, I wish Duchovny and Carter luck, and lord knows every nerd worth his salt enjoys looking at Gillian Anderson, but I just don't think this is going to work. --Sparks
