Blame Fox for this, not Chris Carter. X-Files was originally suppose to run for 5 seasons. Carter had a 5 year plan. At the end of it, he wanted to stop. Fox told him that the show had to continue. So for 3 more long grueling years, crappy episodes were churned out. Just watch the series. It becomes painfully obvious in Season 6 that something has changed. Maybe those are the loose threads that sky was referring to. I certainly wouldn't call them loose threads though. I'd just call them bad episodes

Edit: I also don't like how the show went from super serious (with the occasional dark comedy) in the early seasons to the actors smirking and cracking jokes every five seconds in the later seasons.

I don't believe Carter had any plan whatsoever. At least not until Frank Spotnitz joined the show.
I got so bored of the series in the end. They kept on introducing new storylines without ever explaining what had happend before.
Having said that, the trailer is very interesting and this movie may revitalise the franchise.
