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.
