So these bad guys were doing experiments with human ova in a secret lab on a ship at sea. Who do they work for? Were they working with alien DNA, or were they just trying to develop super soldiers, or is that the same thing ( ... )

The idea of the super solider story is that it was completely new and different from the original mytharc. I remember CC saying he wanted a new story because the other was dragging on or something.

I still think that the super soldiers are like a slave race, I think they still probably do as they're told by the aliens? Maybe? I dont know, there wasnt a lot of explaining. I also think that the government doing these tests and creating the super soldiers WERE working for the aliens. Much like the syndicate were making the "slave race" ... the government was abducting people, doing the tests ect. So I think the super soldiers are created by the government and aliens who are working together.

what proof did he *ever* have that Kersh was directly involved with Knowle Rohrer and Agent Crane?
He saw them coming out of Kersh's office in the middle of the night in Existence or Essence - one of the eps.

I'm just flat out confused by Skinner's sudden inability to do anything except be mean and suspicious and non-helpful.He's non-helpful to ( ... )

I just wish it was easier to make the old myth arc mesh with the new. Back in the day, everybody was concerned with preventing the successful creation of a hybrid, because they wanted to make us a slave race with no defenses against the colonists or the black oil. Now all of a sudden everybody's all about making super soldiers, which, like I said, is pretty much the exact opposite of slaves. And you're right, there's too little explanation; they never confirm that the men behind the super soldier experiments are working with (or for) the aliens, so it's hard to tell how everything is related. It's so frustrating!

Why did Scully and Mulder ask Skinner to be non-helpful to Doggett? You'd think Mulder would want to help Doggett as much as possible, now that he's in charge of the X-Files office.

And that begs the question: What does any of this have to do with the old original myth arc?
Pretty much nothing. And therein lies (one of) the problem with what they tried to pull at this point. No dice!

But what's so frustrating is that you're right, this new story doesn't appear to have much (if anything) to do with the old myth arc... but it's like they still try to hint around that it is, but they never explain it. Billy Miles was abducted by aliens and returned as a super soldier, basically, right? So it's like they're trying to tie it all together, but... jeez, I think *I* could've written this plot more coherently.

That's what happens when FOX forces you to drag your story out one/two years longer than originally intended! FEH. I hated them enough as it is, but that's one offense I'll never forgive them for.
