nope, not true.  she's signed on for a ninth season, just after Fox
announced that there would *be* a ninth season.  :>

David Duchovny is scheduled to make only a few select "cameo" appearances.

now, onto the spoiler-bit.  what i really want to know is... what do
people think about BadAss!Skinner offing Krycek?  between the eyes, no
less; i thought i had accidentally switched channels and was watching
the Sopranos finale.  payback for Krycek's nano-controlling Palm Pilot
of Death?  did Skinner have just about enough crap from RatBoy? but
why kill your only remaining source for info on the conspiracy?  is
there truth to Mulder's assertion that Krycek's one and only goal is
to save his own ass, which of course diminishes his usefulness
considerably?  while i love Skinner, i'm really not sure how i feel
about this scene...
