{I want to believe] Guess which show may come back from the dead-- with original cast?

Ditto.

The remark about "Fringe" being the next generation of the show also has at least a scintilla of truth to it and buoys the 'why bother?' aspect of it all for me.

Carter took his run at telling that story, took a respectable shot at it, had a nice number of golden years, but, I think most would agree, never managed to get his hands around the back end of the story.

Idle speculation, true, but Amazon canceling his new show, along with what seems like a bit of an unusually long fallow period, has me wondering if perhaps all the hosannas initially thrown at the feet of X-Files might have brought out a little too much of the 'artiste' in Carter to the detriment of his 'successful creator of entertainment' side.
