 At the beginning of season seven , several cast and crew members felt it would be the show 's last . Desiring closure if the show was cancelled , X @-@ Files creator Chris Carter brought back several characters from the series ' pilot for the season finale " Requiem " ; this included most notably Billy Miles , played by Zachary Ansley . After an eighth season of the show was confirmed , the mythology of the ongoing alien story arc for the series changed for both practical and artistic reasons . Former series lead David Duchovny left full @-@ time participation in the series after a lengthy lawsuit during the previous season . To replace him , the show 's producers hired Robert Patrick , although Duchovny eventually agreed to return for half of season eight 's episodes . As such , " Deadalive " was one of the first episodes that Duchovny participated in full @-@ time . Further , Frank Spotnitz , executive producer and co @-@ writer of " Deadalive " , noted that the original mythology of the show had been wrapped up much earlier in " One Son " and " Closure " . To create a " new chapter " in the mythology , and to work around Duchovny 's absence , the storyline for the eighth season focused largely on the search for Mulder in the first half and the introduction of Super Soldiers in the second . Due to the change in style and actors , Carter felt that the eighth season of The X @-@ Files was the end of the " Mulder @-@ Scully era " .
