Summary: Here is the 2nd DVD box set and nobody can miss it!
Review: The whole series of the X-Files is great, and second season is one of the best. You HAVE to watch this season. The X-Files continue with more unexplainable phenomena and difficult cases for Mulder & Scully. Deep Throat(who was killed in the last episode of the 1st season)is replaced by X,Scully gets abducted and all the episodes are definitely going to keep you in front of your screen.

Rating: 1 stars

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Great Collection: Sculley and Mulder at Their Best!
Review: I have been a long time X-Files fan, and this DVD is a fantastic addition (and replacement!) to the many VHS tapes of recorded episode that crowd my VCR cabinet.

The chapters are nicely organized, and the descriptions of each are accurate.

Overall, a great DVD! (No extra languages, but it's not a movie, so not a big deal...)

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I can't believe it ! It's only in English !
Review: What I said: I can't believe it. The first complete season was published with Spanish subtitles (and I bought that pack because of I speak Spanish) but now they have produced the second season only in English !!! THIS IS NOT COHERENT.

I don't know what's happening with the DVD editors. They often make DVD boxes with not the same language. This is a common trouble.

The first pack was very nice and I'm sure that the second pack is nice too, but it's only for English speakers. What a pity.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A truly amazing series!
Review: The whole series of The X-files is truly amazing, but the second season will always be my favorite. There is something about this season that just makes you hooked onto the show. I mean don't get me wrong, all the other seasons are great too, but if you don't watch this season than you won't understand other things in later seasons. Also the fact that it's on DVD just makes it better viewing. My advice? You should really buy this season! And as for Gillian and David, you both are truly amazing actors! Not that they're going to read this, but just so everybody out there knows!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Disappointing second season, but buy it anyway!
Review: I found season 2 ultimately disappointing. The first season on the XFiles was filled with exciting and new stories many of which were loosly based on actual unexplained incidents or phenomena. The second season went a little off the rails in this sense, not seeing the need to flesh out it's main characters further, and I guess not helped by Gillian Andersens pregnancy which made her absent from episodes and less prone to leaping about in action sequences! Nonetheless it does have a few redeeming episodes, and any X-phile who has the first season on DVD knows this second season can only be something very special to keep for future viewing. You finally have a good reason to tape over those episodes you recorded to keep off the TV!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Not better than the first season, but stunning. (spoilers)
Review: It's difficult to say why The X-Files continues to capture the awe of the viewer. The first season introduced us to Agents Mulder and Scully, who connected with each other movingly in the first season, and we see how that effects them in the second as they continue to work together.

The second season stretches the mythology angle somewhat, but some of the stand-alones rank among the best.

Here's just a rundown on the best episodes (though all of them are definitely worth seeing).

---Duane Barry/Ascension/One Breath: The X-Files trilogy that abducted Scully! Now, we all know that Scully comes back, but these three shows held for me an intense fascination with the fate/free will ideas, and certainly engaged it's viewers in passionate discussions.---Firewalker: I don't know why I love this episode. I think that the seemless mesh of science, fiction, and suspense is what enthralled me throughout.---Irresistable: In introducing us to Donnie Pfaster, Chris Carter introduced us to one of the most evil villains in the show's history (not the coolest, mind you). I'd thought that the second season had peaked with this episode, but along came---Colony/End Game: The episode that showed us Mulder's abducted sister! (or a clone, or an alien-human hybrid). Scully gets taken by the bionic killer people (my friends claim this is why that I'm not an X-phile, having no clue what they're called. Oh well). Not as good as many other mythology episodes, but still notable for Mulder's attachment to his partner.---Dod Kalm: My favourite of season 2. No way to truly describe it, but it was enchanting and magical, thrilling and inspiring, a combination of technical brilliance and artistic majesty. Gillian Anderson deserved an Emmy for this and Irresistable.---Anasazi: Ending with what was the best Mythology episode to date, I'd be a fool to tell you what happened.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fantastic!
Review: Well, over here in the UK, Season One on DVD is not avalible, so my delight at the ease to get hold of it from the fabulous US of A was exponential. The excellent episodes from season one brought back good memories of how amusing they were. Good sound and visual quality and a nice presentation box will make the discs something to treasure. With 'Ice' as one of my all times fav's, I can watch it again and again. Only downside is that I am unable to access the game. We love you David, Gillian and everyone else for the unique and unmistakeable X Files. A definate buy for any fan, if you can afford them. Can't wait for season two, then the rest!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Another great season on DVD
Review: Well, the first DVD set of the X-Files introduced us to Mulder and Scully, Cancer Man, Deep Throat and Skinner. It showed us various monsters and serial killers, and started the great mythology we know today in episodes like "Pilot" and "The Erlenmeyer Flash". Now, we've got the second season coming out! The mythology gets better in episodes like "Ascension", "One Breath" and "Anasazi", plus we get are first look at characters like Krychek, X, and Mulder's family. Relive some of the great moments of the second season, buy this DVD!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Lots of time to save for this set hehehe ...
Review: Whoopee! Glad they're coming out with Season 2 later this year. That means I have roughly 6 months to save for this set!

As one may gather, I'm obviously an x-phile - how else can one explain a five-star rating for a dvd boxed set which isn't even available yet? Heck, I'm still waiting for my Season 1 gift set order from amazon to arrive.

Here's a rundown of the second season episodes:

1) Takes off from the season one finale. After the X-Files have been shut down, Mulder & Scully journey to Puerto Rico. 2) Introduces fan-favorite The Flukeman, a genetic mutation living in the New Jersey sewer system. 3) Residents in a small community suddenly become violent, apparently urged on by digital readouts ordering them to kill. 4) Introduces Alex Krycek (Nicholas Lea). 5) Mulder is in the middle of a hostage negotiation involving alien-abductee Duane Barry. 6) Continues from the previous; Mulder pursues Barry who has kidnapped Scully. 7) My personal favorite! Vampire-themed episode featuring Duchovny's then real-life girlfriend Perrey Reeves. 8) Scully is found, albeit in a coma. 9) Deadly lifeform living in a volcano. 10) Agents investigate a possible connection between several teenager disappearances and a religious cult. 11) Strange unseen attacks in a nursing home. 12) The personality of a serial killer is transferred to his granddaughter 13) An "escalating fetishist" episode, where one's relatively harmless "hobby" turns homicidal. 14) Satan worshippers pay for their laxity! 15) Voodoo episode. 16) Features horror genre fan-fave Brian Thompson (Fright Night, Kindred) as the alien boutny hunter. Mulder meets long-lost sister Samantha (or does he?). 17) Continues from previous. 18) Animal abductions from a zoo near a major UFO hotspot. 19) Partly inspired by "The Philadelphia Experiment". 20) Great episode featuring circus acts, Jim Rose, and the Conundrum! 21) Possession story featuring the Romanian holymen the Calusari. 22) Plague-like epidemic sweeps a prison facility. 23) Killer shadows. For Marvel comics fans this recalls powers of characters such as Cloak and The Shroud. 24) A town hides a terrible secret. Hint - read up on the New Guinea Jale tribe. 25) Cliffhanger episode. Hacker obtains all the Defense Department's files on UFO's - encrypted in Navajo!

NO BRAINER - Get this set of one of the most fascinating sci-fi TV series of all time!
