Often, it was her son, and the forces who looked to use or kill him, that provided the threat in the story, pulling Scully directly into the fray, but this made her a more reactive character than before. While she continued to work as an instructor and pathologist, she was no longer a formal part of the X-Files team, she was consulted by Doggett and Reyes most episodes or was drawn into the story another way. Scully's role was altered considerably, with the character taking more of a backseat involvement in the majority of cases as she prioritised caring for her infant son, William. This gave Chris Carter and his team of executive producers and co-writers the chance to revamp the series, considerably more than with the transitional eighth season. The main cast now included Gillian Anderson as Agent Dana Scully, Robert Patrick as Agent John Doggett and Annabeth Gish as Agent Monica Reyes, with Mitch Pileggi listed in the title credits as well on episodes where A.D Walter Skinner appears.
XFILE SEASON 9 SERIES
David Duchovny left the series as a regular, returning only to write and direct the episode “ William” and for an appearance in the final episode. Yet, where it could have reached out in a new direction, and tried something bolder, it was just more of the same.Īs soon as the first episode airs, it looks different, with the second new title sequence in two years, this time more distinctively different from the original. The last series in The X-Files' original run, and what, for many years, looked like it would be the end altogether, the ninth season saw the programme move further away from its original set-up than ever before.
