Sounds good but I hope they replace the Scully actress. She's just not that important. It would be nice to see a new face, you know? How about a 22-year-old forensic pathologist who moonlights as a model?
I just think the fresh energy of a Vietnemese girl with tan lines would more than make up for the mild continuity break of recasting that Scully actress, whatever her name is.
Not that I would want Vince Gilligan to become showrunner. His talent would be wasted attempting to fix what can't be fixed. Let the mythology arc be the comically convoluted mess that it is, and let writers like Gilligan take care of the standalone episodes.
edit: Actually, I have to admit I really liked the season 8 premiere so the last time Carter shined is not that far back in time. The last time he was consistent however was the mid-nineties.
