While I didn't care for Doggett and Reyes, I can agree that they weren't given a fair shot and becoming the stars of XF.
CC *REALLY* should have ended the Mulder/Scully years on XF with "Existence" at the end of season eight and allowed Doggett and Reyes to be the stars of season nine (with Skinner still as their boss, to provide a bit of consistency)while saving Mulder and Scully for future XF movies.
Maybe the show would have ended after season nine, anyway, but at least Doggett and Reyes would have had a chance to succeed or fail on their own merits. And those of us who were primarily interested in the MSR aspects of XF would have had movies to look forward to without all the crap that went on involving Mulder and Scully (yet another Mulder disappearance, Scully's decision to place William for adoption, the death of their three closest friends, etc.) during season nine.
As you say: "Such a good show gone so, SO wrong." This was also the basic opinion of almost all the professional TV critics whose reviews I read around the time of the series finale; that it had once been the best thing on television but that they should have ended it after season seven or eight, rather than attempted a completely Mulderless ninth season.
