Customer Reviews of The X-Files - The Complete Eighth Season

A very interesting turn for the X-Files, great acting.
This is a production after a boring season 7. Connected to season 7 finale:"Requiem", season eight starts with a terrific double episode where Scully is trying to find Mulder, who is abducted by aliens.A new character is introduced to the series Robert Patrick seen in "THE FACULTY","TERMINATOR 2", etc. playing as special agent John Dogget. Mulder bored of being on the X-files for 7 years leaves only to return on the 2nd half of the cycle with the legendary DEADALIVE mythology movie. Scully on the other hand seems to be at the top of her game. She acts very very very well. In the beginning agent Dogget appears to be an arrogant character who is there just to keep Scully from finding Mulder.After the adventure in Arizona with the bounty hunter and Gibson Praise (child prodygy last seen in S6), Scully fails to find Mulder who is being tortured by the bounty-hunters in their spaceship.

Agent Dogget is now assigned to the x-files, and with Scully he investigates some pretty interesting cases which will bring them closer to each other and change Scully's opinion about the kind of person Dogget really is.

Favorite Scully-Dogget episodes: Patience--Human-bat creature attacking people.
Roadrunners--very scary and misterious--great graphics
Invocation--Little kid is kidnapped from a playground and 10 years later he returns looking the same as when he vanished. This episode gives us an insight on Agent Doggets son, as well.
Via Negativa--Somebody kills people in their dreams.-Very scary
The rest of the Scully-Dogget episodes are pretty boring. They give you the impression that Carter was just trying to complete the standard number of episodes foer each season.

Then Mulder returns dead after the aliens drop him in a field. Jeremaiah Smith appears here-last seen in The X-files: Masterplan. He fails to save Mulder so they burry him only to find out he might be alive and they unburry him again and after a lot of curing are able to bring hom back to live.Mulder is back---YEAHHHH.In this double episode(this is not happening & deadalive), Gillian Anderson gives the best of herself.Here she gives every female actress a taste of what dramatic acting is all about.In some scenes her crying and suffering really breaks your heart. Lets not forget she's pregnant. In the fantastic episode: PER MANUM she reveals how Mulder accepted to be her child's father.A great turm for their relationship.Super great episodes to follow are:
3 words-Mulder is back and investigates his disappearing
Empedocles-Mulder gets close to Dogget to investigate a case involving his son's death
Vienen-Mulder & Dogget investigate an oil rig infected with the alien black oil
Alone-Very scary and entertaining.
The season ends with a legendary double episode (ESSENCE & EXISTENCE)-Scully finally gives birth to her baby, but the abductees from Oregon have been turned into Super Soldiers(human replacements) and are after Scully's baby who they beleive might be something superior than them.The last Character introduced is: "Agent Monica Reyes"-Anabeth Gish who helps Scully Give birth wile Mulder nad Dogget try to uncover the people behind the conspiracy. Agent Dogget and Reyes are no way Mulder nad Scully substitutes.They develope very nice characters. In the end of the season finale: there is a great Scene with Mulder and Scully Kissing in the mouth while holding their baby-son: William. A must have for all X-File collectors. Buy it nowwwww

Best Season Ever
Well what can I say about Season 8 of The X Files, this is definetly the best year of the nine.

The big talking point of this season was obviously David Duchovny's absence for half of the episodes and the full time inclusion of the wonderful Robert Patrick as Special Agent John Doggett, Scullys new partner.
As far as the show is concerned of the 21 episodes there wasn't a bad one to be found. With Patrick's inclusion the show had very much reverted back to its horror roots and delivered a collection of the greatest stand-alones ever. "Paitence", "Roadrunners", "Invocation", "Redrum", "Badlaa" and "Medusa" are all examples of The X Files at it's terrifing best. Two stand-out episodes this year were both Doggett centric episodes, proving what an incredible asset Robert Patrick was, in "Via Negativa" Doggett and Skinner team up to investigate a series of grusome and unexpained deaths and in "The Gift" Doggett comes across a case that Mulder hid from Scully and the FBI and which may shed light on the reasons for his dissapearance. This episode also marks the return of David Duchovny.

Season 8 was also the most mytholgy laden year of the nine, ranging from the search for Mulder in the incedible two-part season opener "Within/Without" to his return in "This Is Not Happening" (which happens to have the best cliffhanger ever) and "DeadAlive". Mulder's search for answers to his dissapearance in "Three Words", the unexplained death of Doggett's son in "Empedocles", the retun of the black oil in probably the most visually stunning episode ever-"Vienen" to the mysteries of Scullys pregnancy in "Per Manum" and finally her delivery in the brilliant and action packed two-part season finale "Essence/Existence". Amidst all the mytholgy episode towards the end of the season there was room for one fantastic stand-alone episode, "Alone". Written and Directed by Frank Spotnitz this is a must see for any fan.

I really can't begin to say enough about season 8, it was a show very much re-energised and re-focused to doing what The X Files dose best, the acting all round was incredible, Robert Patrick and Gillian Anderson(this was her finest year) were incredible and the two work wonderfully together, and even though I wasn't missing him it was great to see David Duchovny back as Mulder and the chemistry between he and Robert Patrick is something that has to be seen to be believed. One other thing that made this season all the better was the increased inclusion of surrounding characters. A.D. Skinner played brilliantly by Mitch Pileggi had his busiest year, Krycheck was back with a bang, Deputy Director Kersh was back, last seen in season 6, The Lone Gunmen showed up now and again to lend a helping hand to the new guy and finally the introduction of Special Agent Monica Reyes who would be seen alot more in season 9.
Anyway it really dosen't matter how much I write I could never do this season justice or the work of everybody involved so buy it and experience it for yourself, I garauntee you will not be dissapointed.
