Customer Reviews of The X-Files - The Complete Seasons 1-9

Reflections of a smoking man. No ,really. I'm smoking.
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.

Best tv series i ever seen.
I just wanted to to say that i do agree with the price of this set being WAY too high. But there is 1 thing people are not concidering. amazon sells 2 versions of each season the cheaper $40 ones are not the boxed sets you see here. but then again are the original boxed sets worth that much more? who realy watches 50 hours worth of bonus material anyway? Personaly id rather pay the 40 bucks to just get the re-released sets that just have the episodes. i dont need to pay double for features i dont even watch. as far a the show itself goes, it is by far the best series i've ever seen. and instead of going on for 2 hrs saying why ill just leave it at that.

'The X-Files' Remains One of the Best TV Shows Of All Time
The X-Files is one of the best show that's been on television, in fact it has been brilliant, up until the last couple of seasons. When Mulder began dissappearing in the early part of season 8, the quality of the show began to fade away along with him. <
> <
>To me the essence of The X-Files is the combination of Scully and Mulder working together to solve the mysteries of the unknown, and without that team work, there isn't a show worth watching. They had a unique balance between each other that consisted of mutual respect of each other's differences and a great friendship that helped them overcome all the odds they faced over the series' 9 seasons run. <
> <
>The subtle and quirky humor Mulder had was one of many things that made the show so excellent, and the yin and yang like qualities that were seen in both Mulder and Scully perfectly complemented each other and created a dynamic relationship that forever changed the face of television, not to mention the tremendous character development seen as both grew older and wiser. It was very interesting to see how their platonic love evolved over the years to become a romantic, deep and transcendental love. <
> <
>The show's cast over the years was excellent, with such unforgettable characters as Alex Krycek, the Cigarette Smoking Man CGB Spender, Assistant FBI director Walter Skinner and the list goes on. Despite numerous continuity problems with some of the characters, especially regarding Mulder's sister and the arching storyline of the government-alien conspiracy, the show remained intriguing and enchanting. <
> <
>All that changed once John Dogget and Monica Reyes replaced Mulder as the show's other half, and although they've proven themselves as good actors, nobody can make up for the loss of the series' main character. It would be like watching Seinfeld without Seinfeld, or Star Wars without Luke Skywalker, in other words there is virtually no show without either character, because the series is based on that central character, or combination of characters. <
> <
>I knew 'The X-Files would not last without Fox Mulder, and that the ratings would bottom out, and they did, which led to the show's cancellation. Even though I will greatly miss The X-Files, I was glad to see it end on a good note (Mulder returns in the final episode) rather than to have it drag out into obscureness with characters that have really nothing to do with what 'The X-Files' was all about, such as the super-soldiers sub-plot. The heart of the show was Mulder, with the aid of Scully, figuring out the far-reaching conspiracy while solving the occult and unexplained. <
> <
>Even the last two seasons which were the weakest are still far better than most TV series, past and present. I have bought each season of The X-Files on DVD, a series this great is worth owning forever, and I know there will never be a series quite like it, nor as good. This is the TV collection to own, no doubt about it.
