100% agreed.

The two main steps to getting better X-Files on TV, as far as I'm concerned, are:

1) Don't let Chris Carter write anything
2) Do exclusively MOTW

As someone who is in complete agreement than the MOTW episodes far outshine the mythology episodes, I still want to know what happened with their kid.

I don't think the alien part of the mythology will ever come to a satisfactory end because the glory of those episodes was them trying to reach for the truth, but never quite grasping it. But their estranged son feels like a big ole' loose end that needs tying of some kind.

And, yes, do NOT let Carter write it.

Agreed.

I mean, the problem isn't really with having ongoing story arcs and returning to things from the series past. The problem is the big-scale mythology stuff. And it's not just the idea of never quite grasping the truth. There's also a more fundamental problem, which is that originally, in the mythology episodes that are actually good (IE, the ones from s1 through s4) Carter basically just grabbed a ton of shit from the zeitgeist and smappled it all together. I mean, like 80% of it is just Bill Cooper shorn of all the crazy Bill Cooper shit. And all of that stuff plays completely differently 25 years later. It fundamentally doesn't work, because of how the times have changed, and the conspiracy theories have evolved and totally changed, and they have a much more real, immediate, and dangerous context now than they did then. Stories in the vein of the original X-Files myth arc stuff are fundamentally impossible to tell in 2017, and have them be satisfying and also fundamentally sympathetic.

Bring Krycek back. Even as a ghost.

I would be in for Ghostcek

Yes! He made the conspiracy episodes he was in tolerable-- even enjoyable, in some cases.

Chiming in to agree as well. I've always loved MOTW more and it was kinda frustrating to me that the fandom of the time was so on the edge of their seats over the mythology when it never seemed to work as a coherent story.

Not to mention at this point the entire concept of conspiracy theories is played out. It's 2017 and we have Pizzagate and Infowars. Honestly I'm sick to death of conspiracy theories and theorists.
