Season seven of the X-Files is just plain AWFUL! Rapid quality drop from the quality of season six (not to suggest season six or the previous few seasons were flawless). No wonder Duchovny was so eager to move on. Glad certain circumstances prevented me from watching these when they originally aired, might have left a bad taste in my mouth and made me have thought less of what has been one of my favorite shows since I was a teenager.

Edit: Last episode I watched was "First Person Shooter", to give some perspective to those familiar with the show. Absolutely painful to watch, as was the previous episode "X-Cops". Not sure if I am going to be able to make it to the end of the series. By this point it is almost a parody of what it originally was. Feels like it is intentionally making fun of itself at times.
