Summary: Apology Is Policy
Review: 1. The tagline "Deny Everything" is missing from the "Ascension" episode but surprisingly it's included as part of the chapter preview selection for that episode.
2. They should have included print ads that were made for this season.
3. What's the point of including international clips? They have included some from former Axis powers like Japan, Italy and Germany.
4. No still shots/promo shots included.
5. Where's Mark Snow?
6. The quality of the video is uneven. At some places, the video is clear as crystal but at other times, its grainy like hell.
7. No interviews with DD & GA
8. DVD-ROM content should include the scipts/web-site content/etc.
9. Clips of them winning the Golden Globes/Emmys
10. NO COMMENTARY!!!???

Summary: Earlier seasons are better!
Review: I have seasons 1 through 4 on DVD already and though I haven't viewed any season 4 shows yet I'm almost through season 3 and I must say that the earlier you go, the better the show gets. Not that the later seasons aren't great - I am still watching and recording every show this season, and while I didn't think the show could go on without Mulder, I admit I am still a big fan. Get the earlier seasons and enjoy - it's a bit unfortunate that the commentary and deleted scenes don't really pick up until the third season, but hey, who cares!?! This is X Files at it's best.

Summary: Worth it for Fans
Review: There's much to the X-Files that's hard to defend. Whole Web sites have been devoted to nitpicking the science. Attempts to fit the X-Files episodes into an entire Universe view creates conflicts between the earliest episodes and later "mythology" episodes. But forget all of that. What makes The X-Files great are the personal strengths and flaws of Mulder and Scully and their relationship. As with so many popular shows, it is hard to reproduce the magic found here, because we don't really understand how the magic works. It's human chemistry, and its science is more myth than flying saucers. To round out the picture of this special series, add some high quality photography, quirky support actors and beautiful externals. Of course, don't forget the often-inspired writing, including some very wry humor: Paraphrasing since I don't have my disks handy: "He's a killer, and a golfer." "Hey, I think you drooled on me." "Can I get this off my hand without betraying my cool exterior." And my favorite, from 3: "You're really disturbing me...On multiple levels." I could go on, but why bother. Either you're a fan or your not. Not familiar with the show? Catch it on repeats and see what you think. All that said, if you are a fan, I can't recommend the DVD collections enough. I have seasons one and two, and I have seasons three and four on my list. I may go all the way to season 6 in the end. Why spend all of the cash? 1) You get every episode, with great picture and sound. Honestly, this alone makes the sets worth having
2) You get the interviews with Chris Carter originally included with the videos. They're often full of behind the scenes info.
3) You get the spots created for the FX reruns, including brief interviews with the actors. One of my favorites, long time cult villain Brian Thompson who plays the alien bounty hunter and comes across as a very mellow, soft-spoken guy.
4) You get some deleted scenes as well. What's missing on these? Well, it looks as though season four finally adds commentary for a couple episodes. This is sorely missing from seasons one and two. In fact, if you had the VHS copies already and caught the spots on FX, you don't get that much in the way of additional extras with one and two. And extras help make spending so much worth it. It's hard to have too many. For instance, there was no apparent direct star involvement with these sets, such as interviews with principle actors done just for these colections. Still, those minor criticisms aside, I consider both DVD collections I own a great value. If you're a fan, you will too - especially when you're in the mood for an episode, and the World Series is on one channel, and repeats from season 8 on the other. Whip out an early one and relive the magic: "The answers are out there. You just have to now where to look."
"That's why they put the I in FBI."

Summary: problems with the DVD quality
Review: As I already noted in my review for the first series. I bought both series one and two together and they have similar disc quality issues which have spoiled my enjoment. Some segments are unplayable. (...) Other than that I am a big xfiles fan and happy to have my favorite show available whenever I want it, ( or at least the pieces that are watchable)

Summary: Excellent
Review: The DVDs look great and the packaging is good. I am just disappointed that there isn't much value adds to the disks. I would love to see episode commentary tracks. I guess they assume that we will buy the DVDs without going to the added expense of these items. Probably a good assumption.

Summary: Superb season of a superb show!
Review: The second season of the X-Files was when the show really began to find its feet (and its audience). David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson were beginning to realise the show was taking on a life of its own and so were beginning to really put their heart into each performance. If not the best, then certainly the most intriguing and consistent season, it had some of the greatest episodes ever. If you've never seen the X-Files and you want to find out what all the fuss is about then you would do better to start with season one and follow it all the way through - you would certainly get a lot more out of it that way. And if you are an x-phile, then you NEED this set. Any x-phile worth his/her salt will buy this set. First, a note about the packaging for those who complained about the season one set being to flimsy and easy to ruin; this set has significantly improved packaging and is much sturdier. The artwork is great, and when you fold out the packaging to reveal seven glorious DVDs you can't help but drool. The price tag may seem steep to some people but remember there are 25 episodes over seven DVDs. Like the S1 DVDs, the picture quality is not perfect; you have to remember, however, that this was filmed way back in 1994/95 on a modest budget so you can't expect crystal clarity. Watching these episodes will bring a tear to the eye of any x-phile as it reminds us just how good the show once was before it slid into mediocrity somewhere around season 5/6. In my honest opinion it is still the best show on TV, but the episodes on this set are the cream of the crop. Episodes like "Humbug", the first comedy episode which was a true success and broadened the show's palette considerably, paving the way for brilliant episodes in later seasons; "Anasazi", which blew the show's 'mythology' wide open and was a masterfully created hour of television; "Duane Barry" and "Ascension", the two parter that rocked the X-Files' world and which has major significance 6 years later in the show's ongoing storyline; "One Breath", believed by many to be the show's greatest hour; the list goes on. The extras are interesting to die-hard x-philes, but more casual viewers will probably not find anything of interest here. We will forgive Fox for this since DVDs were not around when this season was made so they wouldn't have known to keep any behind the scenes things for use on a DVD. Let's hope later seasons will come with better extras. So, I cannot think of any reason why this DVD set should not receive a 5 star rating. Beautifully packaged, very reasonably priced (buying the same amount of episodes on VHS would cost you over $250 at full retail price!), good menus, and 25 of the greatest hours of TV ever made. There's no doubt in my mind that nothing will ever come close to revolutionising TV the way the X-Files did in the mid 90's. There's really no excuse to not own this set. You won't regret it.

Summary: A must have...but where are the bloopers?
Review: As an obsessed fan of "The X-Files", I thought the release of the first 2 seasons on DVD was a fantastic! Unfortunately, this collection suffers from the same faults of the first season. The quality is top-notch, with each episode cleaned nicely and offered in closed-captioning and foreign languages. However, the second season set offers nothing new and different. It contains the spots with Chris Carter (which anyone who bought the video sets has already seen), the tv commercials and the FX spots. All of these are, of course, very nice. I only wish that the dvds contained more behind-the scenes action, alernate cuts and maybe even a few bloopers. Additionally, the set contains a pc cd-rom game, which is just great - if you own a pc. Mac users like myself are paying for this game and we can't even use it. Hopefully, I'm not missing too much. Over all, this is still a fantastic collection. I consider it a must have for any true X-Files fan. Hopefully, they'll continue to produce these sets, and maybe add a little more to them! If
