I seriously doubt it, but I suppose you never know.

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.
Crap, I haven't watched 7 yet. 6 was my last season, before I had too much other real life stuff to do. I really liked 6, mostly the clever/funny episodes. Are those long gone in 7, then?
And Duchovny does come back, right?

I think Dave came back for the Series Finale. And of course he did the second movie too.
I own S1 thru S7 on DVD. Stopped there. I actually like many of the individual S7 episodes but overall it definitely showed the end was nigh.
I was primed to like X-Files, I heard about it long before most people in the UK through the Twin Peaks fanzine Wrapped In Plastic and the readership were giving it favorable reviews.
The first few seasons just seemed to be one film pastiche after another (this week, The Howling, this week The Thing).
I gave up on it for quite a while.
Then I noticed a few odd ones where the story went in off into more original material and had a few laughs on the way one of them was ironically X-Cops which I thought was genuinely funny at the time (but I've only seen it once) that's the one where a witness describes a monster to a crime scene artist which turns out to be Freddy Krueger?
I like the monster-of-the-week episodes much better than the mythology episodes. Actually, I liked the mythology at the beginning, but it eventually collapsed under its own weight.
All this reminds me of the early days of the Fox network here in the states. For a while, it was that channel with The Simpsons and Married... With Children. Pretty edgy stuff for TV back in the day. Then the X-Files came along and Fox seemed to be able to compete with the big three.

Duchovny comes back for guest appearances throughout 8, I think, and he does come back for the finale in 9.
Oh, seven has its fair share of "funny" episodes, which it what spurred my "parody of itself" comment. Lots of over the top camp.

Feel the exact same way. I used to enjoy the mythology more, but it got too convoluted and ridiculous. The monster-of-the-week stuff are the ones I really enjoy. So much so that every time I come to a two parter episode I think, "Crap! Another mythology episode."

Oh yeah, forgot about that. I believe he was in roughly half of the episodes.

Yeah, that's the one. I found it entirely humorous-less and just over the top silly. Felt like an X-Files parody staring the actual cast of the X-Files. Absolutely painful.
Sluggo's comments about the FOX network reminded me of this older guy I work with. He is a big time self proclaimed liberal. A political activist back in his younger days. He also tends to come up with conspiracies theories about the place we work, which amuse me a lot, so I listen even though I don't take him seriously. Once I mentioned something about the X-Files in response to one of his theories, his response? "Blah! The X-Files! That was just one big movement by FOX to get people to distrust the government as much as possible before they launched their government hating FOX New bullshit!" BAM! Love that guy!
What was the one where the guy gets abducted by a saucer and there's a Grey in a cage which is really a hoaxer who has been also abducted by real aliens (or did I dream that one)?
I seem to remember liking that one at the time (if it actually happened).
Jose Chung's From Outer Space.
Possibly the best episode ever. Though C3PX (can't get used to the new name) might condemn it as self parody.
Also, Bad Blood, if you're a fan of that kind of episode.

Random thought....I'm completely confused on what to call CP3S now.
Maybe CQFT?
No, Jose Chung's From Outer Space was great. One of my all time favorites. The older "funny" episodes were a lot of fun, and when watching the series on DVD one episode after another, they provide much needed comic relief from the darker episodes. Confessions of a Cigarette Smoking Man was another fun but not so serious episode I really liked.
Season seven's funny episodes are just corny and not at all amusing, IMHO. And the corniness and self parody are injected into the regular episodes in all too liberal doses.
RE: My name, if I could recover my old pw I would. Don't plan on staying back for long though.

I see what you did there. ;-)
Oh my giddy aunt Jesse Ventura's in it (I have to see that one again).
I'm hoping that William will name his first male child Prawn Bhuna.

I didn't say it was Jesse Ventura, just that it looked like Jesse Ventura.
