Ugh, right? I don’t even know anymore which episodes/seasons of X-Files “count” for me anymore…
As far as I’m concerned, the Syndicate was never working with aliens. They were a fully autonomous body in possession of captured/stolen extraterrestrial tech; they were never in thrall to little gray men, and there was never going to be an alien invasion of Earth. Any episode — or element within an episode — which contradicts that premise, I regard as non-canon.
And screw the entire current mytharc, too. CSM’s ash, the moon landings were real, and that Mulder/Skinner catfight never happened.
