One thing I am curious about that hasn't been mentioned- will it be filmed in Vancouver? Most people are aware that the point the series started to go downhill was when they moved production to LA. Seemed like they filmed "I want to Believe" in the Vancouver area, possibly out of nostalgia, or maybe an attempt to recreate the early magic- didn't work obviously. The overcast, wet, and dark Vancouver cityscape of the first 5 seasons really played a part in establishing the mood of the series, while switching to LA involved a lot more sunny and dry scenes- which tied in with the quirky and (non)humorous elements they tried to introduce.
For me, the episode that marked the beginning of the end was the two parter when Mulder switched bodies with David St Hubbins/Chuck McGill. Wow, that was bad.
