Actually Nina, CC wanted to bring Doggett back just for what Spencer did in the first episode of this season apparently. Basically he wanted him back just because
and then he decided to bring Reyes back just to ruin her and kill her with no explanation whatsoever. WOW.
Thing about TXF S8 was that, first of all, Doggett was a likable character, maybe not in the first 2-3 episodes but eventually he became very likable and he was nice to Scully and all in all the show was about them trying to find Mulder and eventually he came back for the second half of the season so IMO S8 didn't feel as weak as S9 for example, not only because Mulder was gone for good but because no one cared about the main plot and Gillian was barely in it as well. Instead they brought Reyes that honestly wasn't bad but wasn't great either
But we had Gillian in season 8, Gillian can act and those scenes where she thinks Mulder is never coming back, all the angst, etc were well acted. Imagine seeing that with Mulder now. I would rather take my eyes out, David can't act for **** anymore, and not like he did a great job back in the day, just go back to one breath and you'll see how a season of that would be unbearable.
Not only because of all this the show shouldn't come back but because they killed Skinner and Reyes and yeah CSM and William are alive. SO? Without Scully and Skinner what are we going to see? Mulder boding with his non son? it makes no sense and also what about Scully's pregnancy? was it all a dream AGAIN?
