Could go the "clone who was brainwashed after receiving vaguely similar injuries to believe that he's really him" route.

And it would be just as stupid, if not worse.

Enhanced by what? He was fucking vaporized. Carter very clearly decided he hadn't died and gave him third degree burns because A) He regretted killing the character in a way that was so final, B) He forgot that he was completely incinerated, or C) He just doesn't give a shit. It's sloppy. It's lazy. And he's not going to "fix" anything when there's nobody telling him he's doing anything wrong. Shit, it would have been better to not do the skin grafts thing and just bring him back, healthy(ish) with or without the poorly conceived tracheotomy (makes sense until you realize he needs a cannula to keep that fucking thing open), and just give no explanation at all. Leave it a fucking mystery. He's the Cigarette Smoking Man, and it's the X-Files. I almost feel like somebody read this. Still, didn't really help all that much in the face of all all the other shitty stuff Carter wrote and directed in tonight's episode. Fuck, I hope this is the last season.

my least favorite x-files episodes were always the ones that dealt with the overarching plot of mulder's sister and scully's abduction and blah blah
the stand alone episodes are where the show really shines

I always liked both the mythology episodes and the Monster of the Week episodes, but as the show went on the mythology episodes got worse and worse. The "Two Fathers / One Son" two parter in season 6 was the last time the mythology was really interesting, and once the plot about super soldiers started it was clear they had no idea what the story even was anymore.

I liked most of the mythology episodes. The thing that I mentioned almost two years ago is that the best of those were not solely written by Chris Carter but cowritten by Frank Spotnitz (currently showrunner on Man in the High Castle) or Vince Gilligan who were able to actually write some good dialogue and keep Carter from getting in his own fucking way. He definitely doesn't have that now. There were actually a couple scenes last night that were pretty intense and almost good, but were ruined by Mulder's fucking voice-over (only makes sense when he's working on an actual fucking case and writing a report). Like last year, there appears to be no one to say, "Hey, why don't we try it this way?" or "Maybe the English translation of Mein Kampf and isn't such a great title for an episode or four."
