why oh why

Having purchased the final three seasons of the x files earlier in the month, it suddenly came to me that i they changed the title sequence in Season 9. So i put in the disc, and sat there watching the new title seqence. Why oh why, would they do this? The title sequence in this season is terrible. I sat there in disbelief over the fact that they infact changed it. Totally changed it, no longer was there the guy that face stretches across the screen that always scared me back in 1993.
Why did this show changed the title sequence? It is something that is often seen in TV shows, like Buffy who changes it every season - however kept the same music, just re-recorded the song so it sounded better. Friends, changed the title sequence twice a season. But with a show like the x files that we have become used to the fact that the same title sequence was seen throughout eight whole years of the show, to suddenly see it change in the 9th year, is just something that is totally wrong.

Don't get me wrong, i don't discourage change, but i don't like change after 8 whole addicted years to the show.
