Yep, I mean there’s a reason you never see anyone chomping at the bit to obsessively discuss the Doggett/Reyes era. Robert Patrick and Annabeth Gish are both fine actors but they weren’t Mulder and Scully.

Fox and Chris Carter tried to see if they could pull a “Law & Order/ER” style rotating cast without losing their audience and it just didn’t work. Why? Because it turns out the show wasn’t actually bigger than Mulder and Scully.
