After season five and the first X-Files movie, production of the series moved from Vancouver, British Columbia to Los Angles, at the insistence of star David Duchovney, who wanted to be closer to his family. The show's torching of Fox Mulder's office was the very last televised scene in the Canadian city. Sadly, after the move, the series took major hit in quality. Oh, the production was still top notch but the look and feel had changed. The gloomy, overcast skies of B.C. were a huge part of the atmosphere of The X-Files, and sunny L.A. simply did not look the part. The show got too bright. The brighter look was also accompanied by a (likely unintentional) shift in tone, as episodes themselves got lighter throughout season six and seven before producers righted course in season eight. In any case, The X-Files: I Want To Believe in 2008 went back to B.C,, and as much as that film was just an overly long monster of the week story, it at least had the look and feel of a proper X-Files outing. The show will get massive brownie points with fans if they return to B.C. and avoid the sunny skies of L.A. It's a dark show after all.
