It could be he's squirreled away working on a screenplay that will blow Hollywood away. It could be that he will emerge from hiding and kick out a few scripts that lift some pathetic show to new levels. (HBO should be all over this guy, imagine what he could have done for that last couple of Sopranos seasons.) However, Morgan is known to be perpetually, and occasionally traumatically, dissatisfied; it could be that he gave up on writing altogether. If so, it's just as well he's MIA instead of cranking out twenty-six hackneyed teleplays a year. After all, is it better to have credit for endless volumes of dank dialogue, or a handful of perfect poems?

I agree that Morgan's scripts for X-Files are some of the best that show saw - makes me wish that, instead of just doing those bloated full-season boxed sets, Fox put out some anthology discs with the better stand-alone episodes. I know I'd buy a two-disc X-Files set of those four Darin Morgan shows. . .
