Thanks for posting this. On a rewatch and on season 8 - Doggett is a fantastic character, breath of fresh air for the show. He deserved a lot more time with that character. The truth is, we were all crackheads back then. We wanted out Mulder and Scully fix, and very few people gave Doggett a chance. If the show came on today with Doggett as the lead, with episodes like Via Negativa, it would be a huge success. I'd be lauded as ground breaking tv. Really - anyone that's not seen Via Negativa - that episode alone could've been a movie. It plays like True Detective (Season 1). Phenomenal. Hope I have the opportunity to tell Robert at a convention someday what a great job he did as Doggett.
I rewatched the x-files some time ago and I think people concentrated on Mulder being gone too much and didn't give Doggett's awesome character a chance. One of the nice things about Mulder being gone imo is Scully suddenly being confronted by a guy that has the mentality of Scully Season 1 and she had to cave in and take Mulder's point of view a lot and that's when she probably may have though "oh so that's how I appeared to him". She gets put in Mulder's shoes and it's awesome tbh :D
Very well said! I too recently rewatched some of season 8 and all of season 9 and I really think that Doggett and Reyes were really good characters who had great chemistry together and they were an intriguing addition to the show. I wish they'd been given more respect by some of the fans.
+iriyabran I completely agree! Doggett should have had more backstory screentime in order to establish a connection with his character just like Mulder had episodes dedicated to the incident with his sister being taken. Sometimes the way Doggett was portrayed, he came off sorta distant and cold compared to the Reyes character. Reyes character had better opportunities to fit in when she became close with Scully and helped out in a big way by not being so stubborn and defensive everytime her beliefs were challenged. Poor Doggett's refusal to believe in what he witnessed is what prevented him from really fitting in with the X-Files as a whole.
I really enjoyed watching the X files with Robert Patrick involved and I feel he should return one day as his Character John Doggett had so much potential.
Recently finished XF all seasons and its got to be one of my Top shows for anyone to watch or rewatch! You won't regret it. And a lot of ppl were fond of Mulder, but I left having a crush on Doggett. LOL

God bless you Robert Patrick
I miss Doggett... If not for the fact that Mulder left so abruptly, I think fans would have loved Agent Doggett a lot more.
Robert Patrick, ThumbsUp!!!

Same! You realize how healthy, loving, protective and sane Doggett is compared to Mulder who is just crazy and reckless!
I would have loved to see more episodes where Dogget continued.
Robert is defo hot! I thought he was hotter than David Duchovny in XFiles.Gorgeous though David is Robert just has more personality.
I Love John Doggett. Such A Hero Character! He Was Excellent In This! 💛
Really liked doggett. They did well w his character.
happy 57th birthday robert hammond patrick !!!!!!!
I must not have watched the X-Files long enough to see Robert Patrick on it because I never saw his Doggett character. Darn it!

I wonder if they are mulling over where Moulder is at?
Yo the funniest thing is to read the comments
What dialect is this? New York? Boston?
He has Irish-Scottish origins.
