Nah. If there's one thing X-Files would never do, it's give one of its leads a definitive ending.
(Though I don't think he ever shows up again after season 9 anyway. I guess he could be in season 11 somewhere; I haven't seen it. But he's not in I Want to Believe or season 10.)

Or you can always just jump straight to that one and not worry about the rest of season 9 or 10. It's a standalone monster-of-the-week episode and you don't need any of the rest of that bullshit to understand it.
Darin Morgan has one more in season 11 (The Mandela Effect) which I hear is also great, but again, I haven't seen any of season 11.
Me, I
am determined to make it through the whole series. Eventually. Though I'm on the fence about whether I'll bother re-watching any of season 10 aside from Were-Monster. I remember the rest of the episodes, while not very good, at least had good moments. Like the super-racist one with the Muslim terrorist at least had a good acid trip scene.
I did catch a few episodes of season 9 during the original run, when they were hyping up the end of the series. I definitely caught Jump the Shark and Release; I remember both of them being pretty good.
I know I set the VCR for the finale but then never got around to actually watching it.
