 | I hope at this price Mulder and Scully are included
rating: 1
I am a huge fan of this series, even though the last couple seasons "jumped the shark". I loved the first feature film "Fight the Future" (1998). I have yet to see the most recent film "I Want to Believe" (2008) but I really want to, despite the negative reviews it received.
I am still wanting all seasons and film(s) on DVD, but the Fox keeps re-releasing them. I suppose this is a money making ruse. Yet the cost of all nine season set is $809.99? I don't get it. What do I get for this price? I hope characters come to life once the disc is put in the player. In all honesty, the X-Files were one of the best shows on television, but not at this price.

Who Priced This? The Smoking-Man?
rating: 4
The Truth is Out There" & "Trust No One" were the catch phrases of the informed more-that-meets-the-eye crowd.
The series that defined the 90's Conspiracy Theories. Too bad over-infated egos and greedy network executives and producers ruined it after season 7. That is when the show actually expired.
This is one of the BEST TV Series ever aired - the one every fan covets. I guess that explains the exorbitant price it has attached at AMAZON! (Hence the missing star).
One can find it MUCH cheaper elsewhere.

Reflections of a smoking man. No ,really. I'm smoking.
rating: 5
Does it get any better than the X-Files? Each episode is packed with more thrills, chills and strange turns of events than most blockbuster films you shell out ten bucks to see. The X-Files has the advantage of a team of writers committed to creating stories based loosely in fact and incorporating frequently from the pages of history.
Political cover-ups, mind control, and reports of extraterrestrial contact an elite team of government officials is quick to stifle. None of this can be relegated to the annals of science fiction. Only a victim of memory altering experiments will suggest that the government is open and honest about its science and its knowledge of the strange and alien that Fox Mulder is so passionate about.
The X-Files succeeds because most of us believe that certain events and discoveries have been quickly concealed for the so-called good of the population. Some of us are more extreme than others. True conspiracy fanatics have come to regard the X-Files creators as harbingers of the truth, cleverly doling out information through pop television.
Most, though, simply enjoy the brilliance of each episode, as our hero Mulder, with his linear, skeptical and yet strangely sexy sidekick, Scully, uncover more phenomenon than most Hollywood producers could dream of in a lifetime.
Mulder is a loveable FBI agent in spite of his almost manic drive to uncover the truth, the product of a childhood experience that haunts him. Scully is like the sister you just want to shake and douse with water as she doubts what she sees even as ghoulish things slither from sewers in front of her.
The beauty of this show is that it doesn't rely on any one thing. The conspiracy theme can stand on its own because it is steeped in truth and it is apparent that the writers believe. The story lines are fascinating and often disturbing, whether you believe that such strangeness exists or not. The regular characters (you will love and hate the shady and infinitely powerful "smoking man" if you have not already met him) are joined each episode by new and dynamic players created by brilliant minds.
I received the entire X-Files collection as a gift and it is a durable one. I have almost gone through them one by one and, I suspect, I will one day do it all again. Because the truth is out there, my friends. And I'd like to be among the chosen one when THEY finally come for us.
