Summary: Very Good
Review: I'm a big fan. I live in Brazil , here we have now the 7 season on TV. It's good to have the complete season . I'm already waiting for the next complete season. The only thing that is not great is the extra dvd that brings us nothing really important.

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: Now I Remeber Why I Had No Life On Friday Nights!
Review: I just picked up The X-Files Complete Third Season and now I remember why I didn't have a life on Friday nights back then. This is classic X-Files and this brings back so many memories. This was the season that Chris Carter and gang cranked up the intensity and really showed us what good TV making was like. I wish Chris Carter himself would watch every DVD from this set and return the X-Files back to these well-written, well-directed, and wholly well-made episodes.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Ahhh, the X-Files as it used to be
Review: By the third season of the X-Files, the show had fully hit it's stride. The show had evolved from a cult icon into a global smash and the shows from this season show us why. Season 3 delves deeper into the mythology, the root of the show but don't worry if you haven't been keeping up...you'll catch on (as well as anyone can) and thoroughly enjoy the stand-alone episodes as well. Darin Morgan lends his hand infusing humor and deeply faceted characters in his episodes. I miss Darin Morgan.

Anderson and Duchovney are exceptional as our lead characters that struggle to make sense of the conspiracy that drives the show. Development of the characters themselves continues as the season progresses, which only adds to the quality of the show.

The DVD version is clean and sound is exceptional. You will have a new appreciation of this if you've ever tried to watch older episodes on FX. The special features gives you a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of the show, including deleted scenes and promo shots. This box set is a must-have for any true X-Files fan. But be prepared, if you still watch the show (and you know that you do) the nostalgia may kill you.

Summary: X Files & Spanish Subtitles
Review: The review information on the Amazon.com page is not correct. The Third Season does have Spanish subtitles. I was posting a question not a rating based on incorrect information on the Amazon page.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: In one word: Incredible
Review: I just received the X Files third Season, and what can I say... I'm shocked. Great Quality in all senses. I love those "Behind the truth" stuff. Now they added a lot of new ones (17), also 7 special effects clips, 5 deleted scenes and a lot more.

About the episodes, it's incredible how Chris Carter forces you to be aware of every detail you see, getting you to make conclusions on every episode, until you get to see the truth about it.

In this Season you will see the "Sindicate" (as they call themselves) for the first time. You'll see how the Smoking Man's authority is limited. You will also know the link between Mulder's father, the Sindicate and the Smoking Man.

Someone was asking "why no spanish subtitles"... well, in fact it has spanish subtitles. Yet, a weird thing is that French subtitles are included, but they don't seem to work (at least for me), I suppose the reason is because french audio is included, don't know.

If you're an X-File fan, this is a MUST HAVE stuff. I just can't wait until the fourth Season to be announced!

By the way, sorry if some of my words are not wrote right, but I speak spanish. =)

Summary: If you see just one season of the X-files this year...
Review: make it Season 3. The Zenith of the X-files is captured here. Back in 95/96 the TXF was still on Friday nights, and moving to Sunday changed it. It's not that the later seasons aren't good, it's just that season three perfected the dialogue, and the cinematography (the dark lighting and colors are amazing in so many of the episodes). The writing also reached it's peak with scenes like the "Russian Roulette" scene at the end of Pusher or the "Smoking Alien" in Jose Chung's, or even the two voiceovers in Grotesque.

This X-files season represents a high watermark in TV, it will be a long time before we see its equal.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Entering the X-Files' Golden Age
Review: Beginning with the third season and continuing through to the sixth, the X-Files is at the top of its game (even now, in its 8th season, the show is better than most on television).

The majority of season three is taut, creepy, and provocative--as well as humorous and witty (the Darin Morgan written episodes). As well, Gillian Anderson's acting is beyond wonderful.

The DVD extras are worthy in general, but the stand-out ones are the commentary for episodes "Aprocrypha" (Chris Carter and director Kim Manners) and "Jose Chung's 'From Outer Space'" (director Rob Bowman and writer Darin Morgan). Perhaps in future collections there will be more.

Here's looking forward to the next three collections; I plan on placing them all in a carousel DVD changer and hitting "shuffle." Ahhhh... .

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Where are the Goodies?
Review: The third season was a great one and all episodes are here and just as much fun as they were the first time around. However, I am getting annoyed with the extra material. I remember at the end of the second season and again during the third season, Fox aired two specials - Secrets of the X-Files and More Secrets of the X-Files. Why weren't these added to the bonus material. Personally I would have found it more interesting than those silly FX promo spots. You have an expensive television program, 20 episodes in all - and the best they can give you is a half-dozen or so outtakes. Also, the documentary footage - The Truth Behind Season Three - while very good, is way too short and omits a lot of material that I believe would be fun. Finally, where's Duchovny and Anderson on this thing? Season Two had some observations by Steve Railsback on playing Duane Barry. But Season Three brought in some truly interesting performances by Peter Boyle, Giovanni Ribisi, etc. It would have been nice to have gotten some observations from them as well. The interviews with the writers, producers and various techs are interesting, but the documentary feature is very light on interviews with the various characters who filter in and out of the series. Instead we get more Chris Carter. Overall, if you're going to spend this kind of money for a deluxe box set, Fox and Carter should really try to give you a little more bang for your buck.
