[[WMG: Skinner runs the government's secret superhuman defense program.]]
How does an Assistant Director stay in the same position for over 20 years, and can apparently decide on his own to restart the X-Files? Because Mulder and Scully were unknowingly recruiters, finding the freaks, weirdos, and other-powered individuals who were covertly scooped up by Skinner's black-ops security teams, sometimes having had their deaths faked, and were brought into the program to defend the planet from alien threats. The reason the X-Files were restarted is that attrition had taken its toll and new recruits were needed, so Skinner turned to his most reliable (and unwitting) locators of weirdness.

[[WMG: X-Files is a system of control in the Matrix.]]
We learned from the Oracle that anytime you hear about werewolves, or ghosts or aliens that is some program doing something it's not supposed to. The Conspiracy is actually run by Agents who keep this all under control. Eventually the Conspiracy started recruiting humans to do it for them. One of those humans was Cancer Man. A rogue program jacked Mulder's sit out of the Matrix right in front of him and he interpreted that as an alien abduction, the rest is X-Files/Matrix history.
* The plan of the Matrix involves it being re-booted at some predictable time in the future. The Conspiracy knows this and interprets that as the time of the planned alien invasion. The Conspiracy THINKS they are attempting to create alien/human hybrids to resist that invasion. Really what they are doing is attempting to create a program that will allow some humans to survive the re-boot and end up, intact in the next incarnation of the Matrix, much like the Merovingians Albino Twin Things.

The Xenomorphs: Have a parasitic multi stage life cycle, their immature form bursts out of the hosts chests and runs off to find somewhere to grow into maturity, their mature form is a fang claw murder machine, their ultimate form is the Queen, they have acid for blood. The Grays: have a parasitic multi stage life cycle, it starts with the black oil which infects a host, their immature form bursts out of the hosts chest, their immature form is a fang claw murder machine that runs off to find somewhere to grow into maturity, it's mature form is an intelligent exobiological intelligence. This means if xenomorphs facehugged a Gray when the chestburster exploded out it would spray black oil everywhere which would start the life cycle over. If the black oil infected a xenomorph the acid blood would dissolve it. In essence the two species are at a stalemate with each other. I contend they come from the same biosphere, but the Grays are the intelligent species that evolved there while the xenomprhs are the equivalent of some sort of vermin, the Gray version of a sewer rat.

[[WMG: The titular X-Files were the successor to [[Series/TwinPeaks Blue Rose Cases]]...]]
As the conspiracy to colonize earth began to pick up, the incidence of supernaturally inclined unsolved cases being referred to the FBI increased dramatically. The Blue Rose protocol was far more secure, allowing agents to perform incredibly sensitive work on long term with minimal exposure of what was going on, but was also incredibly inefficient. The X-Files were a far more efficient, but far less secure, method of allowing the FBI to investigate suspicious and potentially paranormal cases. However, this came at a price, and eventually lead to the abandonment of the X-Files due to the machinations of the Conspiracy...

[[WMG: ... and the predecessor to [[Series/{{Fringe}} Fringe Division]].]]
... at least until a new, more powerful agency arose in the federal government: [[TheWarOnTerror Homeland Security.]] With a new investigative body at work in the US government, new resources could be directed to cases that would formerly have fallen under the purview of the X-Files. And when an organization of super scientists began demonstrating mad science on a massively public scale in anticipation of a [[NotSoDifferent global war with another world]], Homeland Security was forced to set up a joint task force with the FBI in the form of Fringe Division. Though their work is also secretive, the combination of a much higher profile and nearly limitless resources mean Fringe Division is much harder for the Conspiracy to control. Logically, this would disrupt or even delay the colonization plan (which is good, since the Aliens would have had to fight the Observers for control of Earth, alongside all the other monsters of the week).
* This one is actually implied in ''Series/{{Fringe}}'', when Agent Broyles is HauledBeforeASenateSubcommittee to defend Fringe Division's use of resources. The "failure of the X-designation" is called out as reason for skepticism in Fringe Division's capabilities.

The hints about Scully's immortality had already been dropped in such episodes as "Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose" and "Tithonus". In "Monday", it is implied that the time loop was caused by some sort of chink in the universe, something that should not have happened, such as Scully dying in the bank robbery when Death is never supposed to come for her. Therefore, that Monday repeated itself until it could solve the paradox of Scully's death.

In the episode, CSM talks about wanting to leave a "legacy" for future generations and pesters Scully about her feelings for Mulder. He had definitely noticed how close they were. At some point in the episode, Scully is drugged (or, if you believe CSM, in an exhausted sleep). Now, he's already been shown to have the chip that cured Scully's cancer--why not one to fix her womb? Scully and Mulder begin their sexual relationship not soon after that, she becomes pregnant right away after being told by many a doctor she was barren. Tricky, CSM. Very tricky.
