I'd love to see episodes like seasons 1-4, not so much MOW, but interesting investigations and government cover ups. But the entire alien thing was nearly as bad as Lost's overall arc, which was course, was awful.

I have all the seasons on DVD up until like 9 or 10 and haven't watched them in half a decade. Thanks for the reminder!

Like most scifi style shows, once the writers move from independent one off episodes to an overall story arc, the show starts the down hill slide. Either the talented writers price themselves out of a job, or the writers get lazy.

Would love to see new X-File episodes, but only if they follow the model of the early seasons. I watched a few episodes from the first season last summer and they held up surprisingly well.

What? Nothing could be further from the truth. I don't think you understand how a Writer's Room works.
