The search for the truth comes to an end in the ninth and final season (of the original run) of The X-Files. Doggett and Reyes take over the X-Files and continue to investigate the super-soldier program as Mulder goes into hiding and Scully becomes a teacher at the FBI academy. Additionally, Scully’s baby is discovered to have a connection to the alien conspiracy, Doggett solves his son’s murder, and the Lone Gunmen’s story from their short lived spin-off is resolved. Either due to the post-9/11 atmosphere or the cast changes, there’s a definite change in tone and a shift away from the alien hybrid storylines toward the super-soldier arc. Lucy Lawless, James Remar, Terry O’Quinn, Neal McDonough, Jane Lynch, Burt Reynolds, and Michael Emerson gust star, and Cary Elwes joins the recurring cast as the new FBI Assistant Director. And David Duchovny returns for the series finale; which is mostly a series recap that summarizes the show’s journey and allows for several fan-favored characters to return. While the new direction that The X-Files was taking in Season 9 could’ve worked, it’s clear that the show had run its course.
