Got bored with the X-Files about 6 years ago...I loved it when it first came out and was on BBC2 but when it moved to Sky I lost track of what was going on
I watched the final episode just so that I could say I'd seen it but I didn't know a lot of the characters

Pretty much how I felt about the series, Milky. Great when it first started but I think it became a parody of itself in the end and I just lost track of all the conspiracies that were supposedly going on. A prime example of a show that tried to be too clever and lost the plot for me.

Which is why Buffy should *not* get to a ninth season.
I never thought I'd find myself writing this, but I lost patience with the series a while ago. I remember the good times when it was mainstream, the way the BBC completely messed up Season 3, and then the gradual slip into late Sunday night BBC2. The episodes I enjoyed were the one-off monster episodes rather than the conspiracy ones which strung the plot along for its own sake. Perhaps in a few years' time when we're looking back on a complete body of work, we'll see that the last few years weren't half as bad as they seemed by comparison, but at the moment I don't feel any great compulsion to watch the last season if/when it makes its way to terrestrial.
Yeah im going to miss it not because of Mulder and Scully but Doggett and Reyes.
I find them to have rejuvinated the showand made it fresh Doggetts hard nose attitude, and Reyes is excellent as the believer (and nice to look at too). It would have been nice to see more of the Lone Gunmen before there demise(yes I was upset).

JtB, I totally agree with what you are saying. I had slipped with the show a few seasons back yet Doggett totally reinvented it for me. I started enjoying it from another new viewpoint.
I'd also got heavily into the Lone Gunmen and I can't believe it ended so abruptly at the end of season 1, it was really its own programme in its own right with a very witty sense of pace.
I was very lucky to see the Xfiles episode with the Lone Gunmen that followed almost straight on Sky One from the seasons end on Scifi, but it was again such an abrupt and surreal ending to the episode that I almost couldn't believe it I guess when Chris Carter wants to end something he *really* ends something!!
Very funny the way they appeared comically in the last XFiles episode (anyone else think Mulder had seriously lost his marbles by this point? )
Again in the final Reyes and Doggett seemed extremely strong and up for much much more.
A real shame that the potential for something new in spinoff version has been lost. But I guess 9 years is a long long time .....

i dunno i gotto say i was getting annoyed with the whole conspiracy stuff, it alienated too many people. but after season 3-4 the show got fab again, season 6 is too funny, eveytime i watch it some of the episode just crack me up. yeah the introduction of Annabeth Gish and Robert Patrick really made a difference to the show, shame they won't get their own series.well i hope they appear in the new movie...will have to wait a while for that one!
