Mulder is gone.

It's a new series now. The old gang is back, but the dynamic that was Mulder and Scully will not be seen (at least in the series). More characters are brought in and some of our old reliables, The Lone Gunmen and A.D. Skinner, are back as well. As the season progresses, we will see how the producers and writers cope with a new dynamic and a different team of investigators.

NOTE: As of January 17, 2002, Chris Carter announced that Season 9 is the series' last.
