>WHy is Mulder suddenly "the government did it I don't believe in ayys anymore" even though he's seen them?
Didn't they explain that aliens were, in fact real? But they're apparently benevolent, and the government's been stealing their tech and putting on false fearmongering to make the public scared and needing their Fearless Leaders to protect them. Or some shit.

Also consumerism.

Dude, I just recently finished the original series again, watching both movies in conjunction with the series and watched the first two eps of season 10. Feel the exact same way.

I'm thinking some sort of soft reboot/actors didn't want to do it/they really don't give a shit.

They proved aliens were real and wanted to colonize (or recolonize) earth. Hell, there's an alien at Mulder's trial. Then Joel fucking Mchale is an Alex Jones esque consp theorist? Gtfo, Chris Carter.
