Really the only bright spots were M&S's partnership and their allies, and the sense of "Yes, we handful of individuals will fight the good fight in whatever tiny and doomed ways we can," but... in retrospect it wasn't a cheery show.
It's not even the fact that it wasn't a cheery show that bothered me, it was that it stayed the same brand of not-cheery for nine years. One little success now and again would not have hurt them!
I rejected Reyes on the grounds that she was not Scully, and never really gave her a chance.
Awww. She was just starting to get interesting when the show ended, I thought. Kind of like Mulder, but not so damn angsty. And her and Doggett had an intriguing relationship; complicated by her being the investigator when his son was kidnapped, but still less tense than M&S.
It was basically what they did do, but if they had made the separation cleaner and clearer, everybody would've benefited.
Yes. As good as it is to have a Scully around, she really didn't need to be around for those seasons.
