 Agent John Dogget Was Fresh Blood For A Great Series October 9, 2008
This series I'm sure people remember was the start of when Agent Fox Mulder's abduction by the aliens at season 7 series finale. The intro episodes has Dana Scully searching fervently for any trace or information on the whereabouts of Mulder when the bureau transfers a new agent to replace the missing Mulder into the X-files department. Of course Scully's suspicious at first of Dogget's personal agendas and feelings but slowly during the season begins to trust and befriend him. For me Agent Dogget was a welcome new character to the show he was what the character of Scully was in the first season a skeptic who believed and the physical facts and science of the world and not hocus pocus or alien life-forms he has never seen. Also later during the series we had another new character Monica Reyes an old friend of Doggets enter into the life of the X-files agents. The episodes on whole were for me hit and misses but still I feel this would have rejuvenated the series for a few more years unfortunately the show was either canceled after season 9 or they decided to end it there I can't really remember. The series sets for this incredible show seem to have gone down to a really fantastic price so if you haven't gotten any if these series sets yet I'd say now is the time...

The X-files recreated for 2 final seasons! August 12, 2008
While the 8th season limits Mulder to only a few bit parts, it strengthens Scully to a sharp point. Gillian's performances remove any doubt that she is a capable actor. She carried the last 2 seasons with strong supporting roles from Patrick, Pileggi, and Gish.
While many see the 8th and 9th season as the [...] stepchildren of the X-Files, I see them as genuine extensions of a truly great television series.
I am disappointed that Chris Carter did not use Patrick and Gish in his latest movie. I feel that their contribution would probably have increased it's viewership. But then again, maybe many of the X-Files viewers were just fair weather fans to begin with. This could be the reason so many disliked the last 2 seasons and then vilified the "I Want to Believe" movie, which I felt was a very well written, if not a swan song, to a most memorable show.
I am one of those fans who watches the season over and over...and even though I have seen them 3 times each, I gain more insight into the world that Chris Carter created!
 PUT IN THE CHECK BOXES SO IT CAN BE BOUGHT! July 30, 2008

I REALLY WANT TO BUY THE 8th SEASON OF THE X-FILES BUT EVER SINCE IT WAS UPLOADED, THERE ARE NO CHECK BOXES TO BUY EACH EPISODE. NO ONE HAS BOUGHT IT YET BECAUSE YOU CANNOT BUY IT, IT IS NOT WORKING. PLEASE AMAZON, FIX THIS! ADD THE CHECK BOXES SO EPISODES CAN BE PURCHASED (USING BOTH ie AND FIREFOX THERE ARE NO CHECK BOXES).
It sucks...no. It's OK...no. I like it...no. I LOVE it...YES!!! July 28, 2008
In 2000, plot details were revealed that Mulder would be abducted by aliens, leaving Scully with a not-very-likeable replacement named John Doggett. This opens up many opportunities for Scully and others around her. They are on the search for Mulder.
And that gives the plot for Season 8 of The X-Files. The show has taken a completely different direction. It has a completely new plot and even a new agent. Robert Patrick, who played T2 in Terminator 2: Judgment Day is great as Doggett and everything seems to fit together flawlessly.
SEASON REPORT CARD:
Within: 10/10
Without: 10/10
Patience: 7/10 (too slow)
Roadrunners: 10/10
Invocation: 8/10
redruM: 9/:10
Via Negativa: 8/10 (definitely the creepiest episode in the whole show)
Surekill: 3/10 (is this The X-Files or is this The Outer Limits????)
Salvage: 5/10 (suffers from a case of being too ordinary)
Badlaa: 4/10 (Doesn't make sense and too damn slow)
The Gift: 8/10
Medusa: 10/10
Per Manum: 10/10
This is Not Happening: 10+/10 (I actually cried at the end!!!)
Deadalive: 6/10 (WTH??????)
Three Words: 8/10
Empedocles: 9/10 (very darkly funny, yet in a way depraved)
Vienen: 10/10
Alone: 10/10 (AWESOME!!!!!!)
Essence: 10/10 (has you on the edge of your seat the whole time)
Existence: 10/10
OVERALL: A+
Worthwhile even if you are skeptical about Mulder not being on the snow. I remember seeing some episodes on TV back when they were first aired. And trust me, you're in for a spooky (no pun intended) good time!
