Summary: Oh. My. God.
Review: I have been watching this show since I was about 7 or 8. And I remember staying up on Fridays with my older brother and watching this show. This was the first set I got. I got it because I remembered the episodes I saw when I was a kid and thought they really were wicked. So I got them. Darin Morgan is SUCH a funny man with his three (count 'em) three penned episodes which will have you rolling on the floor. Then there will be episodes like 2Shy where you swear off all chat rooms for a year. Then there will be those episodes where you find your self screaming "SHOOT HIM SCULLY! PULL THE TRIGGER!!" like in Apocrypha. The classic episode Pusher is in here with Int'l clips which is always a total blast. If you wanna lock yourself away and have yourself a X Files Marathon, by all means, get this! It's God's gift to the Phile.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: may be poor dvds with neet stories on them
Review: in some of the darker scenes the picture goes bad(flecks of white where you know they aren't suppossed to be)i guess some of the daylight were grainy too

kind of disapointing since most of these are very good stories. i'll probably buy other seasons eventually but won't expectthe best dvds.

i don't think the problem is with my machine or wiring since my other dvds play fine.
****************************************************************
i just got a better tv(lcd) and my season 3 disks look alot better. i even ordered season 2. the picture still gets grainy
in some places, but i can watch the episodes when and how i want and love never having to touch disks after i put them in the changer.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: AWESOME!
Review: The third season will most probably be the point at which the X-files had me captured. The story lines, development of characters Mulder and Scully along with their problems encountered continue to draw me into the show. The conspiracy stories or Alien episodes as can be put are brilliantly written aswell as the more humorous episodes such as "Clyde Bruckman's Final Response." I also see no problem with the technical issues of the dvds. I strongly reccomend buying this dvd set along with all the others.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Show At It's Highest Point
Review: Season Three is the high point of a fantastic run which extends to the present (yes, I like John Doggett and Monica Reyes). While Season One sets up the series and Season Two begins the buildup, Season Three is the point where all the important storylines began and continue to this day. Highlights include "Jose Chung", "Clyde Bruckman" and the fantastic season finale.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: X-files at its best
Review: The third season of the X-files is probably the best. The mythology of the show really gets conspiratorial and the black alien oil which is featured in the movie is introduced. Sorry for the shortness of the reveiw but if your an X-Phile, you don't need a review to tell you to buy this now!!!!!! Oh and do it at ..., stores want way more for the same thing. And am I the only one who notices that Jesse Ventura is one of the men in black in the episode "Jose Chung's From outer space." I can't be the only one who notices this.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: so glad I never watched the show
Review: Whenever I caught an episode on TV it would be disjointed because I would either miss the first few minutes and be confused or I couldn't stand the commercials and would surf. Having them on disc is perfect.

One thing I never really realized when these shows aired, was that these are actually some good solid stories. Some of the monster/mutant episodes do kinda 'bite', but there are many arching stories that connect with one another and many stand-alone episodes as well that are just fantastic when you consider the budget. For instance, in an episode about an alien bounty hunter who comes to earth for a seek and destroy mission on some rogue aliens that are camped out here, your not seeing any huge sets or blockbuster effects, but the stories impact is the same due to good scripting, filming, appropriate effects at the right time, and most importantly-originality. It's the originality of most of these episodes that make them what they are. I thought the first season was a little hoky, but the second and third were great.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Perfect
Review: This is a MUST HAVE for any X-Files Fan. I thought I have seen most of the x-files on tv, but i was WRONG. These are GREAT!!

I will buy Every Season!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Great episodes, lazy and complacent execution. Expensive too
Review: This set is expensive - now reduced to 'only' [price]. Make no mistake, the stories and pure imagination of this season are priceless for fans of the horror genre. To watch these shows is always a thrilling experience. The material here gets 5 stars, probably the apex of a truly great show. But technically, this box set has some of the worst digital compression I've seen on a DVD that isn't 'Almost Famous.' The detail is sharp, but cramming 3+ hours on each disc makes the fast action digital 'crawl' hard to watch. Sometimes Mulder & Scully move like claymation dolls. It was a distracting problem for the first two DVD box sets, but by now SOMEONE at FOX should have noticed. Next time, they should remove useless features like 'international clips', unrevealing commentary by Chris Carter and CD-ROM games that many 'non-computer' fans cannot play. 'The X-Files' is all about aesthete and mood. If the next installment doesn't solve the visual/technical problems, there is no chance that I'll be a sucker for a 4th time. The show has become often lax, but the attention to this project was just lazy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Xcellent!
Review: This was THE best season of X-Files. If you want to see the show at its zenith, check out this DVD set. DVD's are the way to go in watching TV. I can get into any TV show if I had all of its episodes back to back with no commercials. I think we're going to see a continuing trend of TV shows to DVD. Cool!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Finally!
Review: I was elated to see the series was coming out on DVD, and now that it's here, it was definitely worth the wait. Apart from being a great season of The X-Files, this set has all the extras one could ask for. Not to mention that watching the series on DVD looks SOOO much better than when the episodes originally aired on Fox.
