Summary: X-Files Rock!
Review: Yes, after seven seasons, this extraordinary show continues to fascinate me. Imagine my delight when I discovered that they are releasing every episode on DVD per season. I own the complete first and second season, and am eagerly awaiting Season 3.So what exactly do I like about Season 2 on DVD? Well, besides the fact that it contains EVERY SINGLE EPISODE in this neat, compact little box, its presentation is excellent. Nothing too fancy, but very professional nonetheless. It also contains deleted scenes and other nifty little extras that any true X-phile would cherish. The first day I got this, my boyfriend and I had our own X-Files marathon. It's really interesting to be able to go back and watch every episode in order, back to back, to observe the Mulder/Scully relationship develop into what it is today, and to watch the mythology web unfold all over again. Also, I love being able to just put a disc in and skip to my favorite scenes (like the one where Mulder emerges from a swimming pool, dripping wet, wearing nothing but a skimpy little red Speedo). I can't wait to own all 8 (plus?) seasons on DVD. There's nothing to NOT like about this box set.

Summary: Yes, You Should
Review: Most multi-disc sets are nicely packaged, and this one is no exception. I won't bother reviewing the regular content, since you'd better already know if you like the episodes before you plunk down the big dough a set like this costs. The sound is great with a Dolby 5.1 setup, and the navigation arrangement is simple and not a distraction. The only negative thing I can say, is that they way you access the deleted and the behind-the scenes is a little awkward: Prior to viewing the episode, you have to go to Special Features and switch on the option, and then while watching the episode an X will appear in the lower right hand corner of the screen during spots where you can elect to switch to the deleted/behind-the scene. Not ridiculous, but certainly counter-intuitive. As I experience more and more DVD's I am forced continually to wonder if the designers of these interfaces have ever actually asked a consumer what they want from "extra features", and how they want to use the DVD. But this is a general rant, not a specific review...the extra features on the DVD's in this set are decent, and are certainly value-added. They are not the best I've seen, but neither are they the worst. Was it worth it to me to get this set? Absolutely. Do I wish they'd consulted me before releasing it? Heck yeah. Maybe next time.

Summary: Season 2, Another great addition
Review: I have read some of the other reviews, and I agree with some of them and disagree with others of them. I have been a fan of the X-Files since I watched Pilot when the series premiered. I feel that the X-Files is a very good series, and that even people who are not fans of science fiction will enjoy it. My fiance has and is eagerly awaiting seasons 3 and beyond to be released. Some points that I would like to make are: 1. This season is presented in a full frame format, and some people have complained about it being P&S. This is not the case as the season was filmed in full frame, and it was not until season 5 or 6 (I can't remember exactly) that they didn't convert to filming in the 16:9 ratio that some are desiring. 2. The beginning of every episode states that they are available in Dolby Stereo, where available. Some are asking why they are not in Dolby Digital 5.1. The reason for this is that this was not even an option at this time. Sure, they could probably go back and convert it, but that would be based on someones interpretation of the way things should sound and would not truly recreate the original broadcasts of the episodes. 3. There have been two main improvements to the packaging of the season this time around. The DVD case is made of a reinforced cardboard rather than standard card stock this time around, and the DVD's are much easier to remove from their trays. Kudos to Fox on listening to the consumers desires on this. The only thing that I would like to see (other than offering replacements to those of us who own season one in a reinforced cardboard sleeve :P) is that they move from the sleeves to a slip case as in how boxed sets of books, other DVDs, and other videos are presented. Don't get me wrong, I still LOVE the multipaneled folder containing the DVDs, I just would like for them to have come in true slip cases. Well enough for the points I want to make. The second season is a necessity for all true X-philes and their collections, I think that other companies should see how Fox is treating their fans to a real treat in being able to own an entire seasons on DVD in one set. The episodes here really build on the conspiracy arc, and we are introduced to notable new characters, and others are fleshed out a little more in this. These episodes are key to an understanding of some of the elements in the movie and later seasons. I would highly recommend this to all X-fans, from the hardcore X-Phile to the most casual of fans. You won't be disappointed.

Summary: This DVD set is worth the money!
Review: Lets start out with opening the package, when you open the X-Files DVD set there are tons great scenes from the 2nd season on the box and on the DVDs. Each DVD has 4 episodes on it, in order when they first aired. Each episode is around 45 min. long (3 hours total per DVD). If you add all the time in the episodes, you looking at around 21 hours of X-Files! Now on to the quality, for these episodes being around 6 years old and re-doing them in DVD really worked out great. I think this X-files DVD set has a better picture than the new 2000-2001 X-Files season currently on TV now! The sound is also great! I think if you like the X-Files, this is a great set to get. So, In conclusion, If you like The X-Files, get this set, DVD makes it way better than you think!

Summary: The Truth is on the DVD!
Review: Might I just say, wow! This is an excellent product. The episodes are of very high quality, and to have them all together looking better than they do on most TV sets on cable is simply wonderful. The extras are there, too! Behind the scenes, special effects. My only gripe is that nothing was really compiled especially for this DVD set - it was all taken from other areas. However, I am not really complaining. Half of these wonderful eps are not available on VHS. Even if you are a minor fan, sit down one weekend with this DVD set and you'll fall in love with the X Files all over again. A must buy!

Summary: Simply stunning
Review: Back a few months while browsing Amazon, I came across the first season of the X-Files. Now, I've seen the movie, and I've seen a handful of X-Files episodes, but it was not something I ever regularly watched. It was one of those situations where I wanted to get into it, but figured I was a few seasons too late to do so. Also I gathered that the story has been ongoing for years, and I have probably missed out on a lot of story plot. I figured, what the heck, I'll start with the first season and watch everything in order. I plunked down the hundred or so dollars for the box set and began my journey into the X-Files. I was pretty happy with the first season. Nothing all that special, but enough to hold my interest. This all changed when I saw the finally of season one. After the episode was over, I ran to the box set, threw the 7th DVD disc in the drive only to realize there were no more episodes, and that was the season cliffhanger. Needless to say, I was drooling for more. Jumping ahead 6 months later, the second season was released and I rushed to order it. Four days later, the second season box set somehow materialized onto my kitchen table. I thought it may have been Aliens, or some secret government experiment, but my roommate reassured me that he answered the door to our regular (that's what he thinks) postman and he indeed put the DVDs on the table. All I can say about season two is "Amazing". There are so many episodes that left me sitting in my chair, jaw dropped open, and uttering "wow". Sure, there are a few weak stories thrown in, but man...there's some real treats in this box set. Sleepless, Duane Barry, Ascension, One Breath, Colony (Second Favorite X-File I've seen), End Game (First Favorite X-File I've seen) are all riveting. Tonight I watch Humbug and hope to have the season finished by the weekend. The quality of the DVDs overall is great. There are a few "bad audio moments" but the picture is crisp and the box set itself is wonderfully put together. I already can't wait for season 3. :)

Summary: Total Package
Review: As an X-Files fan, not a fanatic, I'll defer criticism of the 25 episodes in this set to other, much better qualified reviewers below. But you don't need to be a rabid fan of this series to appreciate the quality and thought that has obviously gone into the packaging of this product. All 25 episodes and a bunch of extras come on seven discs. The one-sided discs each feature unique artwork from one of the episodes they contain. The discs nest in a very nifty container made of seven panels, one for each of the discs. This *container* is over two feel long and folds in on itself. Additionally, there's a pocket to hold a slim booklet which includes production information that only the aforementioned fanatics will care about. Finally, there is a sleeve that fits over the folded package to keep it from unfurling. The paper stock is luxurious and lavished with artwork and stills from the show. All told, the entire set has dimensions approximating three stacked DVD cases. Contrast this to Paramount's bumbling release of a mere 79 episodes of the original Star Trek on FORTY separate discs. All the hay that's been made about viewing movies on DVD is completely deserved, but the format's service to television has yet to be fully appreciated. For starters, the picture quality is much better than broadcast or even cable. Watching a season's worth of episodes in rapid sequence will give you a new appreciation for the subtle changes in Mulder and Scully's characters and at least a fighting chance at understanding the series' underlying "mythology" story arc. This is a superb product. Lets just hope the other studios pick up a few clues from Fox when releasing their TV catalogs.

Summary: You can't stop the truth
Review: Although they may have stopped Deep Throat and the X-Files in the second season, Fox and Dana will continue to probe for the truth. Another great set of an excellent TV series. Once again the production values are first rate. Along with all the great DVDs with the series packed in one slender box you get an additional DVD with interviews, extras, and a game.

Summary: Another Superb Collection & Presentation
Review: Season 2, of course, is one of the more interesting seasons of The X-Files. In my opinion, Season 2 is slightly inferior to Seasons 3 and 1, but is still excellent overall. The foundation of the mythology arc is set forth in this season, and we get to know Cancer Man a little better as other characters like Krycek and X are introduced. This set gives you classic episodes like "Little Green Men," "Colony/EndGame," and "Anasazi." The folks who put The X-Files box sets together are just brilliant. Laid out in a compact and sturdy "book" that folds out, the packaging is sexy: all dark and metallic looking. While I wish there were MORE extras, the ones that are there are quite nice. For instance, you get some "Behind the Truth" promos from F/X, all of the Fox TV episode trailers (almost 50 of em!), some deleted scenes, some alternate language showcases, a short original documentary with Chris Carter, and some special effects clips. If you're a completist, this set is key for your collection.
