Great season...Big Fan of the series This is one of three that I need to complete the entire set. I love the series!
X-Files Season 7 I've been a fan of the show since the beginning. Season 7 is definitely my favorite season because they focus on so many of the mythology themes and also the personal lives of the characters.
X Files still good at season 7 This season had some humor in it. It also includes episodes "Cops" and "Millennium". This is a just plain entertaining and worthy of the X Files collection. I have the first through the eighth seasons on DVD and enjoy every episode.
"Fringe" fans, The X files started it on fox. Millennium tried but some idiot(s) decided it wasn't any good (but it was the best TV show with Lance Henrickson's best work). Check out Millenium.
If you have not seen the X Files, Check out the series. The regular "filler episodes" outside the alien conspiracy are more for my taste. They are stand alone episodes that are mini-movies. In my opinion, the reason why the X Files films did not do so well is because they already used the same quality for the TV show. They can't top what's already been their best work. No SCI FI show today has the look and quality of guest casting like the X Files. The crew are top notch and each an every show they gave 110%. Make that 150%.
Excellent series One of the best TV series ever filmed. Every episode is intriging. I love it... :-)
A few great episodes, a few good ones, a few that make you go huh? I've been rewatching some of the old X-Files episodes in anticipation of the movie. These slim pack versions of the X-Files finally came down enough in price for them to be within my financial reach at one of the discount chains. As ever, I find myself doing a lot of skipping around. I never did much care for the myth-arc episodes or the dreadful, pretentious voice overs at the beginning of those episodes that I presume Chris Carter wrote. I liked even less the lack of attention to character continuity from episode to episode. What was bad about the X-Files was bad in this season and what was good about the show was very good here. We have awful, pretentious voice overs and confusing, muddled myth-arc stuff in "The Sixth Extinction" and "Amor Fati" and somewhat in "En Ami." I think the writers had written themselves into a corner and were scrambling to tie up loose ends before David Duchovny was no longer under contract. It showed, particularly in the way they tried to wrap up the Samantha story arc in "Sein Und Zeit" and "Closure." No one knows what the heck happened to Samantha and the walk-in story line didn't make any more sense on viewing six years or so after I last watched it. It does make a certain amount of emotional sense and it was nice to see Mulder embracing the ghost of the 14-year-old Samantha in the final scene. Just try not to think too hard while watching this episode or see all the holes in the plot. I ended up fast-forwarding a lot through that episode to the scenes I liked and ignoring the ones I didn't. There are a few gems in this season. "X-Cops" is still hilarious, almost as good as "Bad Blood" from the fifth season, which I still rewatch when I need a boost in mood. "Hollywood A.D." and "Je Souhaite" are also very nice stand-alone episodes. "Millennium" is great, if only because I liked the TV series and it was nice to see Frank Black in that last scene with his little girl and the Mulder-Scully kiss. No, the world didn't end. Too bad Chris Carter didn't figure that out a few seasons before that. Best of all is "all things," the episode written and directed by Gillian Anderson. The amount of thought that went into every scene, every sound, into every move made by every character, was very evident. I also appreciated the comments made by the actress that accompany this episode. I remember thinking "Yeah, that's probably why she did such and such" when I first watched it eight years ago and it's nice to know that I was right. It also helped that the music was easy on the ears and the decor was easy on the eyes. I liked her take on Scully as a complete human being, one who acted in certain ways and had conflicting feelings about spirituality and religion and Mulder and her old love Daniel. It's really a pity that Anderson wasn't given a chance to write more episodes. And of course this was the episode where Scully and Mulder slept together and probably where William was conceived. Since I watch more for character development and the relationships between the characters, this episode is a real jewel, but this DVD is worth purchasing for fans of all persuasions, those who like the myth-arc and those who don't.
