List of episodes

The eighth season of the American science fiction television series The X-Files commenced airing in the United States on November 5, 2000, concluded on May 20, 2001, and consisted of twenty-one episodes. Season eight takes place after Fox Mulder's alien abduction in the seventh season. The story arc for the search of Mulder continues until the second half of the season, when a new arc about Dana Scully's pregnancy is formed. This arc would continue, and end, with the next season. The season explores various themes such as life, death, and belief.

Season eight was received well by critics but got more mixed reviews by fans and viewers, since David Duchovny elected to return only as an intermittent main character, meaning that he appeared in only half of the episodes. Duchovny was initially replaced by Robert Patrick who played new central character John Doggett. Duchovny appeared for only twelve episodes in season eight, and reduced his time on The X-Files dramatically in season 9. "This Is Not Happening" marked the first appearance of Annabeth Gish as Monica Reyes, who would become a main character in season 9 as Doggett's new partner in the X-Files office.

Series creator Chris Carter believed that the series could continue for another ten years with new leads, and the opening credits were accordingly redesigned in both seasons eight and nine. During the airing of season eight, Carter and The X-Files production team created and aired a spinoff titled The Lone Gunmen.

Plot overview

See also: Mythology of The X-Files

Dana Scully meets Special Agent John Doggett, the leader of an FBI taskforce organized to conduct a search for Fox Mulder.[1] Although the search ultimately proves unsuccessful, Doggett is assigned to the X-Files and works with Scully to look for explanations to several cases.[2] When Scully learns that several women have reportedly been abducted and impregnated with alien babies, she begins to question her own pregnancy and fears for her unborn child.[3]

Doggett introduces Scully to Special Agent Monica Reyes, an FBI specialist in ritualistic crime, shortly before Mulder's deceased body suddenly appears in a forest at night.[4] Following Mulder's funeral, Assistant Director Walter Skinner is threatened by Alex Krycek that he must kill Scully's baby before it is born. Billy Miles, a multiple abductee who disappeared on the same night as Mulder, is returned deceased but his dead body is resurrected and restored to full health.[5] Mulder also returns from death, with Scully supervising his recovery. Fully rejuvenated, Mulder investigates several X-Files, against orders to do so, but soon gets fired, leaving Doggett in charge of the cases. Mulder continues to provide input in an unofficial capacity.[6] With Scully on maternity leave, Doggett is assigned a new partner, an inexperienced agent who is obsessed with the X-Files, but the relationship is only temporary.[7]

Reluctantly accepting Krycek's assistance, Mulder, Doggett and Skinner learn that an alien virus recently created in secret by members of the United States government have replaced several humans, including Miles and several high-ranking FBI personnel, with so-called alien "Super Soldiers". Krycek claims that the soldiers are virtually unstoppable aliens who want to make sure that humans will not survive the colonization of Earth. They have learned that Scully's baby is a miraculously special child and are afraid that it may be greater than them. They have only recently learned of the baby's importance, which is why Krycek told Skinner to kill the unborn child earlier.[8] When Miles arrives at the FBI Headquarters, Mulder, Doggett, Skinner and Krycek help Scully to escape along with Reyes who drives her to a remote farm. Shortly after Skinner kills Krycek, Scully delivers an apparently normal baby while the alien supersoldiers surround her. Without explanation, the aliens leave the area as Mulder arrives. While Doggett and Reyes report to the FBI Headquarters, Mulder takes Scully and their newborn son, William, back to her apartment.[9]

Themes

The X-Files season 8 takes place in a science fiction environment and employs the common science fiction concepts of strongly differentiated characters fighting an unequivocally evil enemy, in this case, the alien Colonists. The first episode of the season, "Within" explored "loss", "loneliness" and "pain" after the disappearance of Mulder.[10] "Per Manum" included basic themes common in the series, such as "dark, foreboding terror", the" overriding sense of paranoia", and "the fear of the unknown", among others.[11] Later on, death and resurrection emerged as a major sub-theme during the season, starting with "The Gift", wherein John Doggett is killed and resurrected, and later in "Deadalive" when Mulder is brought back to life after apparently being dead for three months. This sub-theme would continue well into the ninth season.[12]

The main story arc of the season dealt with the idea that, at times, humanity is a greater danger to itself. This theme also explores the notion of human resurrection and salvation from ourself, symbolized by the Syndicate and the human conspiracy, and from the threat outside, represented by the aliens. Some other themes explored in the season include rebirth, life, and belief, as illustrated in the episode "This Is Not Happening" and "Deadalive".[12]

Production

Development

The new opening sequence for season eight, featuring Robert Patrick

The original opening sequence was made in 1993 for the first season and remained unchanged throughout the series, until David Duchovny partially left the show after the season seven. The premiere episode of season eight, "Within", marked the first major change to the opening credits. The opening sequence now included new images, updated FBI badge photos for David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson and the addition of Robert Patrick to the main cast. Duchovny only features in the opening credits when he appears in an episode. The opening contains images of Scully's pregnancy and, according to Frank Spotnitz, showed an "abstract" explanation of Fox Mulder's absence in this season, with him falling into an eye.[13]

"Patience" was the first episode of the series without Duchovny. "Salvage" contains a reference to actor Patrick's (Doggett) perhaps most well-known role prior to The X-Files, that of the liquid-metal T-1000 android in Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) – Doggett: "What’re you saying? Ray Pearce has become some kind of metal man? ‘Cause that only happens in the movies, Agent Scully." The title of the episode "This Is Not Happening" is said four times in the episode, three times at the start of the episode, and the fourth time by Scully.[14]

After the partial departure of Duchovny, Carter decided to focus almost solely on the character of Doggett during the first half of the season. This led to some unhappiness from the cast and critics, most notably Duchovny and Gillian Anderson.[15][16] According to Tom Kessenich in his book Examinations, Anderson reportedly "wasn't thrilled" with the lack of attention her character was getting; instead, the writers were crafting episodes solely for Doggett because he was the show's new "voice".[15][16] Duchovny, on the other hand, was unhappy because Mulder's abduction was never properly examined. Reportedly, Duchovny offered to write and direct an episode based around the conceit of Mulder being trapped in the alien spaceship, as seen in the season opener "Within" and "Without". Carter, however, nixed the idea because "it was not about Doggett."[15]

Casting

Robert Patrick played John Doggett on the show

The seventh season was a time of closure for The X-Files. Characters within the show were written out, including The Smoking Man and Mulder's mother, and several plot threads were resolved, including the fate of Fox Mulder's sister Samantha. After settling his contract dispute, Duchovny quit full-time participation in the show after the seventh season.[17] This contributed to uncertainties over the likelihood of an eighth season.[18] Carter and most fans felt the show was at its natural endpoint with Duchovny's departure, but it was decided Mulder would be abducted at the end of the seventh season, leaving it open for the actor's return in 12 episodes the following year.[19] "Requiem", the season finale, was written by Carter as a possible series finale. The producers found it difficult to write Duchovny's character out of the script, and explain Mulder's absence in the episodes of the upcoming season.[13]

Hoping to continue the series, Carter introduced a new central character to replace Mulder: John Doggett. More than 100 actors auditioned for the role, with only about ten considered by the producers. Lou Diamond Phillips and Hart Bochner were among the auditionees, and Phillips, Bochner and Bruce Campbell (who played Wayne Weinsider in a previous episode of The X-Files) were considered for the role, but the producers eventually choose Robert Patrick.[20] The season also introduced Monica Reyes (portrayed by Annabeth Gish), who would become a main character in the following, and ultimately final, season.

Crew

Series creator Chris Carter who also served as executive producer and showrunner, along with executive producer Frank Spotnitz wrote the bulk of the episodes for the season, with 13 of the 21 episodes. Carter wrote five episodes solo, Spotnitz wrote four episodes solo, and they co-wrote four episodes together, including important mytharc episodes. The rest of the writing staff contributed one or two episodes. Vince Gilligan was promoted to executive producer and wrote one episode. John Shiban was promoted to co-executive producer and wrote one episode. David Amann was promoted to producer and wrote one episode. Jeffrey Bell was promoted to executive story editor and wrote one episode. Greg Walker was promoted to executive story editor and wrote two episodes. Steven Maeda was promoted to story editor and wrote two episodes. Daniel Arkin, who wrote a freelance episode for the series previously, returned to contribute to the story for one episode.

Kim Manners was promoted to co-executive producer and directed the most of episodes of the season with seven. Directors who directed multiple episodes for the season included Tony Wharmby who directed four, Rod Hardy directed three, and Richard Compton directed two. Peter Markle, Terrence O'Hara, and Barry K. Thomas each directed one episode. Series creator Chris Carter directed a single episode, while writer Frank Spotnitz made his directorial debut.

Reception

Ratings

"Within," the season's first episode, earned a Nielsen household rating of 9.5, meaning that it was seen by 9.5% of the nation's estimated households.[21] The episode was viewed by 9.58 million households[21][nb 1] and 15.87 million viewers.[22] The episode marked an 11% decrease from the seventh season opener, "The Sixth Extinction."[23] The highest-rated episode of the season was "This is Not Happening", which was viewed by 16.9 million viewers, making it the highest-rated episode of the series since "The Sixth Extinction".[24][25] The season finale, "Existence," earned a Nielsen household rating of 8.4, meaning that it was seen by 8.4% of the nation's estimated households.[26] The episode was watched by 8.58 million households[26][nb 2] and by 14 million viewers, overall.[27] The nine episodes of the season that did not feature Mulder averaged only 13 million viewers, whereas the twelve episodes that did feature Mulder averaged 13.93 million viewers, almost a difference of one million. The season averaged a total of 13.53 million viewers, down from season seven's 14.2 million.[28]

During 2000, companies were paying Fox $225,000 for every 30-second spot that would air between acts of The X-Files. Many Information technology (IT) companies were buying commercials during the show, largely due to the fact that "many ['coders IT geeks'] get their weekly fix of science fiction from this prime-time show."[29]

Reviews

The show's eighth season received mixed to positive reviews from critics. The A.V. Club noted that the first eight seasons of The X-Files were "good-to-great", and that the eighth season of the show was "revitalized by the new 'search for Mulder' story-arc."[30] Collin Polonowonski from DVD Times said that the season included "more hits than misses overall" but was throughout negative about the mythology episodes claiming them to be the "weakest" episodes in the season.[31] Many critics eventually accepted Doggett's character. Anita Gates from The New York Times said that most fans had "accepted" the introduction of the character and further stated that he actually looked "Like a Secret Service Agent."[32] Executive producer Carter commented on the character, saying "Everybody likes Robert Patrick and the character," but further stating that the fans "miss" Duchovny's character, Mulder.[33] Cynthia Littleton from The Hollywood Reporter described the season as the show's "swan song".[34] Dave Golder from SFX called Patrick "superb" and noted that his entrance in the series "inject[ed] a sense of pragmatism and good old-fashioned plain-speaking in to the show which we didn’t realise was missing until we got it."[35] Entertainment Weekly reviewer Ken Tucker said that Patrick's portrayal of Doggett was "hardboiled alertness," giving mostly positive reviews about his inclusion.[36]

Not all reviews were positive. Jesse Hassenger from PopMatters gave a negative review to the season, claiming that Patrick was mis-cast and calling David Duchovny's appearances as Fox Mulder shallow.[37] Golder criticized the season for "recycling plots with gusto" and for featuring Mulder falling into Scully's eye in the opening credits, noting that it "gives Duchovny too much of a lingering presence on the show, reinforcing prejudices against Patrick as some kind of 'imposter'."[35]

Accolades

"This Is Not Happening" was nominated for an American Society of Cinematographers award for cinematography.[13] Robert Patrick won a Saturn Award in the category "Best Television Actor" in 2001 for his role as John Doggett,[38] that year Gillian Anderson was nominated in the category "Best Actress on Television" and the series itself was nominated in the category "Best Network Television Series" in the Saturn Awards, but failed to win.[39] Anderson was nominated for a Screen Actors Guild award the very same year in the category "Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series".[40] The X-Files won an Emmy Award in the category of "Outstanding Makeup for a Series" for "Deadalive", and Bill Roe received a nomination for "Outstanding Cinematography for a Single-Camera Series".[13][41]
