I think that Carter should have put the main conspiracy on the back burner for a while about half way through the original run. Maybe only have one or two episodes dealing with that story line per year until the final season. The black oil, super soldiers and other plots should never have been tied into the main conspiracy arc. They would have been done more effectively without the baggage of trying to tie them into the main conspiracy. Do your secondary alien stories in seasons 6, 7, and 8 and then come back to wrap up the main conspiracy in season 9.
Instead we had a jumbled up mess that made next to no sense. Now Carter wants to ignore all of that and start a new storyline with CSM as some sort of zombie Hitler bent on genocide.
And how shitty was it to end the season on a cliffhanger? As far as I know there was no guarantee that the series was going to get renewed - it that how you want to end things? That's the best you can do? The UFO should have been started pumping out "Don't Stop Belivin" right before the credits rolled. I can't wait for season 11 so we can get to see Mini Mulder and Agent Bitchstein take over.
