We finished our watch-through recently and the drop-off in quality from S6 on coincides with them moving filming from Vancouver to LA (entirely at Duchovny's behest). It lost Vancouver's grey, damp and ominous atmosphere that really contributed to the tone of the show and suddenly everything was bright and sunbleached. Plus every episode they were having to come up with more and more convoluted reasons for Mulder & Scully to jet off to the west coast for yet another desert-based mystery. Doggett was a pretty good character but they never really got a good handle on writing for Reyes (and the less said about what they did with her in final season the better). If they'd had the guts to properly focus on Doggett & Reyes' characters in S8 and 9 I think it would have benefitted the show, but it really suffered from the hunt for Mulder and then having Scully just sort of floating about in some of the later episodes and not really doing much other than reminding you of Team Mulder & Scully not being around anymore.

Lucy Lawless's Super Soldier was supposed to be a recurring character in S9 but she ended up having a traumatic pregnancy and they had to write her out of the show almost immediately which is a bit of a shame as that could have been cool.
