Yes. *scurries away and hides in a cave* Wake me when it's over, please.
As much as I bitch about and sneer at and willfully ignore anything that came after S7.21, everything that came before it is magical and can never be re-created. Chris Carter himself proved that time and again.
I know that every story there has ever been has already been told and that the trick is in telling it in a way that no one else can. But the second you say, "The X-Files" to anyone who considers themselves a fan, expectations have already formed and I think it's fair to assume most of those are built around the idea of Mulder and Scully - together. You can't re-create that with anyone else. DD and GA were lightning in a bottle. You shouldn't even try. Moose and Squirrel sacrificed enough over the years. They've earned a quiet life growing old(er) together. Leave them be.
