Rating: Summary: Probably the only person who found nits before reading it! Review: Loved it so much that I have to get a new one. Mine is falling apart because I read it so often. Keep up the good work Phil! -Starbuck
Rating: Summary: A Must Have For Any X-Files Fan ..... Review: Oh....My....Gosh. How thourough is this book? The perfect time to have it is NOW, since all the first 4 seasons are on DVD and this book covers the first 4 seasons. It's too much fun to watch the episode, read about that episode in this book, finding all the nits and technical errors and plot oversites and such, and then watch the episode over again.I hope - I pray that there will be a follow-up book on this, for the rest of the seasons (5-9), since 9 is the last. The author should also do nitpicks about the X-Files Movie(s). Hurry up with the sequel!

Rating: Summary: learning from mistakes Review: Phil Farrand is a very clever author who never dissapoints me. I love this book. Another guide covering seasons 5 to 6 should be written.
Rating: Summary: Bought It...Loved It!! Review: The first time that you read this book, you just want to run to your tape collection and start watching every episode to see what little details you missed the many other times you've watched it. I was amazed at how little I knew. It will make even the expert x-philes feel unintelligent. (But don't let that keep you from getting the book!!)
Rating: Summary: Too much opinion? Review: This book is a really cool thing to have around when watching an episode because you can follow along as you go. One thing I don't like is that he so easily dismisses the fourh season episode Home as bad. That was a very controversial episode but he shouldn't let his opinion could his writing. Throughout the entire part for Home his opinion got in the way and he kept saying things like "it doesn't really matter" or "I don't really care" because it was Home. Other than that it is a good book that has quizzes and cool things like that. There are tote boards with cool facts about the series. I hope there is a guide for the rest of the seasons in the future.
Rating: Summary: This is a great book for even the newest X-Files fans!!! Review: This book is great and I have to have it with me when I'm watching any episode of "The X-Files." I can't believe how much I missed in the episodes. The Trivia Questions and special sections (like the Consortium Toteboard) are nice little touches. Although the book may get a little too nitpicky at times (Mr. Farrand himself admits to it, writing, "nit, nit, nit, nit, nit."), it's a excellent read all the way through. This is a great companion book for a great series!!! I am highly anticipating the possible follow-up to this book!
Rating: Summary: Great DVD Set Companion Review: This book is great for anyone who has purchased the X-Files on DVD. Most fans have seen reruns of the show on FX and other channels but with the release of every episode on DVD (one season at a time)this book is a great way to freshen episodes that you may have already seen 2 or 3 times. I just hope that the author and publisher put out a similar book for seasons 5-8 and the movie! Highly recommended.

Rating: Summary: Better than most unofficial guides Review: This book is interesting, funny, and very very thorough. Farrand has utilized X-Philes across the world (and their notoriously keen eyes) in compiling his episode-by-episode nitpick compendium. Sometimes a little too self-referential (we can forgive him), sometimes, well, a little *too* nitpicky, but always informative. You'll start nitpicking too, once you're acquainted with Farrand's technique. And parents of young X-Philes--this is the book to buy your children. They will memorize it, and begin long, lengthy discussions of X-files nitpicks at the dinner table. This is something they'll love.
