Summary: Good book!
Review: Although this book does point out some amusing inconsistencies and changes between episodes, some are a bit TOO "nit-picky." For instance, who cares why Mulder & Scully don't use flashlights in certain instances? Anyway, I love the plot summaries and other factoids the book gives.

Summary: Thoroughly Entertaining
Review: as a bonafide x-phile, and fellow nitpicker, i couldnt resist grabbing this one. it's was an entertaining read. the author did add some comments, that he probably could have dont without adding, but i could see past that. this was a fun read. i only wish he'd put one out for seasons 5-9.

Summary: A work of art
Review: As a former member of the Nitpicker's Guild (I was the worst one), I especially appreciate this book, reaching outside the realms of Star Trek, the paths he usually treads. In fact, this book is more extensive in its nitpicking than the ST books, covering whatever areas, roads, and towns don't exist, as well as the usual technical and continuity problems.To all the people here: Sadly, Mr. Farrand couldn't publish any more last time I heard. Apparently there was some sort of problem with Dell Publishers, and as a result there will be no more Nitpicker's Guides. And the SW one was just about to come out... (if you want more, I advise you to protest it)

Summary: This is a great book for new and old X-philes
Review: As a new phile I went looking for books that had a summary of each episode, and nitpicks. And well I found it! This book was fun to read, as well as interesting. It has trivia, and many other great additions to the book! I loved it.

Summary: A lot of fun
Review: Even though I sporadically watched The X Files over the years, I was never a hard core X-Phile. That is, until I bought all four seasons on DVD and began to watch them episode by episode. (Hey, I'm a completist -- or "obsessive," as some would say!) I also bought this book by Phil Farrand as a sort of guidebook to help me pay even closer attention to the series as I made my way through each season. I agree with previous reviewers in that some of these nits are extremely picky, indeed. But some are downright hilarious. All of them, however, lead me to believe Mr. Farrand has way too much time on his hands. For the record, the Nitpickers Guide for X-Philes takes a very, very, VERY close look at each episode of The X Files for the first four seasons, pointing out continuity, character, geography or technology problems found therein. They could be as nitpicky as dates not lining up with "reality" -- all the way to noticing how props shift from one hand to the other when the camera angle changes, or windows being on a certain wall in one episode and on another wall in a subsequent episode, etc. I found this book to be a lot of fun to read after watching an episode. More often than not, it caused me to re-watch the episode to see for myself the "nits" discovered by the author. If you like The X Files, you'll enjoy this book. If you're not a die-hard X-Phile, this book won't mean much to you. I hope Mr. Farrand writes a second volume covering the next four seasons!

Summary: A Must Have for Every Episode!
Review: Farrand is a master at the art of Nitpicking. I live for this kind of stuff in film and tv, and I have the book next to me during every episode of The X-Files. Some might think that it would take away from the viewing experience, but it only takes it to a new level. With reviews, plot insights, etc for every episode, it is the best watching companion you can find. And with Farrand's non-obtrusive opinions and refreshing wit, he begins to feel like your X-Files watching buddy.

Summary: A must for X-Philes who want to have fun!
Review: Great layout. I love the way he gives his own comments about each episode before starting to nitpick. It allows readers to realise that other people watch the same episode, and that at even the most dramatic times during the X-Files, some of the funniest nitpicking moments can be found out of it. An absolute joy to read. His style usually makes me giggle when I nitpick after every episode.

Summary: I saw the book and I had to have it!
Review: I became a fan of The X-Files after season three, and have been hooked since. I am also a fan of Star Trek, so I was familiar with the whole "Nit Picking" idea, and found it fun and hilarious. So of course I bought the companion to my favorite show - The X-Files. I read it as I watched the episodes I had on tape and kept saying to myself, "I knew there was something wrong there!" I truly enjoyed the book, and I nit pick the new episodes every Sunday night. I hope Mr. Farrand can finish seasons 5-8 and the movie!
