On my first watch of xfiles and season 9 and I don't know why I am putting myself through this torture. It's so dull, forced, and full of "what? That just doesn't make sense at all even for xfiles" "what, doggett is in the hospital again and may not survive", waste up amonica and stop being so dense and naive, and can they force a non existent chemistry between Doggett and Monica any harder?"
Ugh! Why? It's like the writers and directors were trying too hard to be heady and creative like they wanted to season 1 again. Then, getting rid of the baby because he "has" to die? Please!
You know what season 9 is? It's Mulder's nightmare while he is away. We are just seeing his worst visions.
It is a bit of torture, isn't it? It just feels like a different show. But you can make it through, anon. You will get Mulder and Scully back as a reward 😁
The season does have some good case files actually, but nothing really lands. They were trying to make us like Doggett and Reyes as much as Mulder and Scully, but that wasn't possible.
I think the writers and directors had mostly checked out mentally too. I will never forgive them what they did to baby William. There was no reason to include a baby at all, but if you do, you gotta understand that a baby will be... there for the rest of their lives? Like??
I really, really like the idea of this being Mulder's nightmare, anon! New headcanon unlocked.
