Summary: Expensive But I Would Buy It If I Could!
Review: The X-Files is an awesome show and season 4 has many great episodes including one of my favorites which is an episode called Leonard Betts and guest stars Paul Mccrane who playes Dr. Romano on ER.I would love to own this season and all of the seasons on DVD but it's a real bummer that my mom won't let me buy them as she thinks it's silly to buy TV shows on DVD when you can watch the reruns on TV so someday I hope to be able to buy them as I think it would be so cool to be able to wach them without commercials and see the episodes unedited. If you can buy this set go for it! Yes I know my review is probally not very helpful and I will probably get a lot of unhelpful votes but whatever!

Summary: The Best
Review: I'm glad to know that even though the current episodes of The X files [...]horribly, good episodes are forever documented in history. When the sci fi channel fails me I will at least have the Dvds.

Summary: The X-Files takes a turn for the dark.
Review: I know--you thought it was already dark. But that was just getting you used to the water. Now that we're accustomed to the fact that our government is manipulated by a sinister conspiracy, that things really do go bump in the night, and that *something* is abducting people we care about, we're ready for Mulder and Scully to become a little less angelic. This is also the literally darkest year visually, in which the highest number of episodes seem to occur at night. The production level is at an all-time high, and this is known as perhaps the all-round classiest season of the series. Even its failure episodes fail nobly. Scully grims up early on, out of some combination of guilt for her sister's death, weariness of what she's already seen, and soon, the revelation of her own impending death. Her once colorful outfits are replaced by fitted black suits, her sometimes long and wavy hair is made darker and sleeker and her eye makeup relatively heavy. In the excellent character episode Never Again, which was originally written to succeed the news of her illness but then aired before, she crosses wires with Mulder and makes an indirect rebellion by getting a tatoo and (an unlucky) one night stand. The fast, witty monster episode Leonard Betts opens on the archetypally wary-but-amused, eyebrow-zinger Scully, but ends on an introverted, disturbed note to be taken up in the following episode Momento Mori, possibly the greatest mythology episode of all time. The revelation here, that Scully has contracted terminal cancer resulting from her abduction and the implant she found in her nasal cavity, will underscore the rest of the year implicitly, though perhaps not explicitly enough. Newly fortified in his survivor's guilt, Mulder begins to tilt his natural recklessness toward desperate violence. It starts in the beautiful episode Paper Hearts, in which a taunt about the truth of his sister's fate leads him to release a homicidal maniac from death row, to near disaster. Then in the first mythology two-parter Tunguska/Terma he gets ahold of the wily Krycek and finds cause to do a lot of beating on him in the most explicitly action-oriented episode of the series. In Demons, he allows a corrupt doctor to perform a dangerous brain operation on him that will enable him to recall hidden memories of his all-important past, and goes a little crazy in the process. The excellent season finale Gethsemane shatters his faith to a drastic point. The fortunate thing about darkness, however, is that it tends to bring people together; and since the adventures here are more overtly personal than they have been in the past, the agents are called to each other's rescue in more ways than usual. The affectionate moments, being more urgent, are deeper; in moments of peril, they are more frantically worried about each other; Scully demonstrates more loyalty to Mulder and Mulder more gratitude for Scully. Even their arguing and disagreement is touching, revealing the breadth of thier investment in each other; and in its own way, the great comedy Small Potatoes also acknowledges their bond. This human element redeems the year from the brink of indulgence and puts it instead on a level of sophistication critics could no longer deny.

Summary: GREAT
Review: This is a GREAT season....I mean I enjoy them all, with season 1 as my favorite. however this one gets going and never lets up. I LOVE some of Mulder's humore here, very immature humor, but funny from a professional FBI agent. And Scully's (roll her eyes)reaction to Mulder's humor at times is worth the price alone for this set. This season had some GREAT writing! and its worth Every penny here!

Summary: The X-Files Season 4 They just keep getting better
Review: Welcome to the fourth season of The X-Files, where this masterpiece of episodic television just keeps getting better and better. This season also continues to show that as a television series, The X-Files is more than just a TV series, it's a genre. This season is brimming with so many excellent episodes and a whole new and somewhat scary character arc for Scully. We are treated to an even warmer relationship between Mulder and Scully. It doesn't quite get as close as all of the loyal fans were hoping for just yet, despite Fox and Scully's first on screen kiss that was impromptu and edited out. "X" is killed and Fox gets a new and quite beautiful "insider" to help him further his cause. The mythology episodes: "Herrenvolk" is the wonderful season opener that gives us a few answers and even more questions about the government conspiracy. "Musings of a Cigarette Smoking Man," This show, in my opinion, is one of the best with the CSM and is a "must see" for all X-Files fans. "Tunguska" Agent Krycek is back and so are the Black Oil aliens. "Terma" the conclusion to "Tunguska" which includes a trip to Russia by Mulder and Krycek where Mulder ends up having the Black Oil Aliens in himself for a while as part of an experiment stemming from the multi government conspiracy. "Memento Mori" Scully confirms that she has cancer. Mulder seeks to find a cure and AD Skinner makes the deal with the devil (CSM) to get her the cure. This episode is what the X-Files are all about! "Tempus Fugit" and "Max" a previously seen character, Max is killed in a plane crash. Mulder believes that plane was frozen in place and aliens were abducting Max when the government shot down the UFO and the plane. Another great X-Files mini movie! "Zero Sum" CSM is back and so are the small pox carrying bees! AD Skinner is in it up to his neck with the CSM as well. "Gethsemane" The season finale and Fox is "dead." I distinctly remember this being a long summer between this episode and the season five opener. Stand alone episodes: "Home" is an odd episode that deals with incest. Strangely enough, according the interviews on the last disk, this one had a very hard time making it past the network censors, huh! "Teliko" is great episode about an African man who has no thyroid gland and kills others for theirs. "Unruhe" is a well thought out episode about a man who kills people believing he's killing demons; when he does this, undeveloped photographs nearby portray strange visions. "The Field Where I Died" I believe is one of the best episodes of the entire nine year run. It's about a cult leader that is attempting to have all of his followers kill themselves and a woman in the cult who has multiple personalities that is tied to Fox through a previous life. "Sanguinarium" is about a doctor who has been taking patients lives for many years all for the purpose of extending his life. "Paper Hearts" In this stunning episode Tom Noonan does a wonderful job of playing a convicted murderer, caught originally by Mulder. The episode begins with Mulder having dreams about and confirming the locations of this murderers victims. He also puts doubts into Mulder's head as to whether his sister was abducted by aliens or him. "El Mundo Gira" is an odd and intentionally humorous episode about a poor illegal immigrant that somehow survives being in the vicinity of a comet strike and suddenly begins spreading a fungus that kills everybody but him and his brother. "Leonard Betts" is mostly a stand alone except that this is the episode where Leonard Betts tells Scully that she has something he needs. Mr. Betts is a strange sort that can re-grow any portion of his body that he might lose, to include his head. Part of the reason he can do this is that he eats cancer cells, which coincidentally gives him the ability to see cancer in anybody. "Never Again" a great episode that includes a super star voice over by none other than Jodi Foster. Dana Scully being frustrated with her life has a one night stand. Unfortunately her pal also happens to be going a little whacky, killing women because Jodi Foster in the guise of his new tattoo is telling him to. "Kaddish" is a touching episode about a Jewish woman whose husband is killed by bigots and she brings her husband back in the form of a golem. "Unrequited" is about a Vietnam vet who was previously thought dead. He apparently spent the twenty some odd years in a POW camp and has been freed. He has a strange ability that allows him not to be seen and he's using that ability to kill everybody he felt was responsible for leaving him in Viet Nam. "Synchrony" is just plain great science fiction. A man from the future has come back to kill certain people by injecting them with a chemical that freezes them solid. "Small Potatoes" is clearly another one of the best. A small town suddenly has several children being born with a tail. We later find that the father is one man and he's essentially a shapeshifter. This episode includes some extremely telling scenes between Scully and the fake Mulder. "Demons" is an outstanding episode where Mulder wakes up in a strange hotel with blood on his clothing, no memory of how he got there and two rounds missing from his weapon. Another fantastic season with some great extra features and good cover art on the box set! Episode list: Herrenvolk

Summary: Another Great Season - One Episode to avoid
Review: I own all the seasons available on DVD and I love X-Files. Nonetheless this season loses a star because of the one episode I write to warn you to avoid. "Home" is far and away the worst X-Files Episode ever, and quite possibly the worst episode of any series in the 1990s. Plenty of X-Files episode have some 'gross' scenes, it comes with the subject matter. However, none match "Home" for sheer pointlessness. If you like incest go rent the movie "Lonestar", which is otherwise a great film. This episode, however, has no redeeming qualities. Buy season 4, skip one episode.

Summary: Season 4 : A Sudden Shift In the Right Direction!
Review: The fourth season of the x-files marked a new style that differed a lot from the first three. It began suddenly by expanding the mythology, adding the bees, the crop circles, and of course the healing man (Jeremiah Smith). On a stand-alone point of view, the season had brilliant episodes, focusing now on the characters and their lives, and giving a new perspective to their livelihood. Of Course, the cliffhanger, Gethsemane, was the most shocking of all. Overall, this is one of the best seasons ever. So dont miss it!

Summary: Well done and fun
Review: S4 of the x-files created no disapointments. It was eary and mysterious and also fun. Mulder was going crazier by the episode to drive him to the cliffhanging last episode and Scully was her wonted subtle self, portraying his foil. The myth-arc eps were not as good as S3 but still pretty tight and the stand alone eps were second best to season 7(My favorite). Great watch for al sci-fi lovers or anyone who likes well created TV that differs from the norm.

Summary: The show keeps growing.
Review: Season four of The X-Files is the starting point for the best seasons of the show. Like season three, season four carries on the mythology with new, fresh ideas and classic story arcs. Plot points from previous seasons are finally dealt with here, the impact of the incidents shining through. This is the season where it all starts to change. Scully gets terminal cancer, and Mulder is now caught dead-center in the conspiracy he's been so avidly investigating. With drama soaring to new heights and humor still raising the bar, the season boasts some impressive episodes. Besides serving as a vehicle for the conspiracy, the stand-alone episodes this season are great, too. There's all sorts of bad elements this time around like the chupacabra, cancer-devouring madmen, golems, invisible men, and spirits. This season finds the characters really coming through in situations that they can't do anything about. Mulder and Scully begin to see their place in a growing cover-up to conceal the government's darkest secrets and they rely on each other to make it through and find the truth. With terrific story arcs like Scully's cancer, the identity of CSM, Mulder and Scully's part in the cover-up, and the whereabouts of Mulder's sister, this season marks the beginning of the best for this show. Highlights include "Tunguska", "Terma", "Paper Hearts", "Memento Mori", "Tempus Fugit", "Small Potatoes", and "Gethsemane." Another great season.
