DVD Reviews of The X-Files - The Complete Fifth Season
DVD Review: X-Files 5
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the slim case version,so the discs are set on top of each other (more or less), and the extras are very limited. However the price is right, and if your main desire is to have the episodes... there you are.DVD Review: The Truth is Out There
Summary: 5 Stars
What needs to be said? It's an X-Files season, arguably the best one. As a Fileophile (I hope I get credit for that word) I started watching the series with this season and got hooked. It preceded the first movie and by that time was given credit for being one of the best (if not THE best) sci-fi series of all times. What's more, try watching them all in order, if for no other reason than a daily dose of Scully!DVD Review: The X Files achieved it before Fringe
Summary: 4 Stars
"Fringe" fans, The X files started it on FOX.
If you have not seen the X Files, Check out the series. David Duchovny added so much to his character he seems like a real guy. Mitch Pileggi's performance at portraying the cool, level minded Skinner is always the humble hero for Mulder and Scully and for the viewer. Gillian Anderson is so convincing, we all know her as Scully, that's just how top notch these actors are. Mark Snow's haunting melodic music brings a chill to each scene. Chris Carter's idea for a TV show is by far better than most SCI FI shows. The X Files is an instant classic telling science fiction stories as it was meant to be.
I have to include Millennium, if you have not scene it, ignore the critics and try it. I thought that was one of Chris Carter's best ideas. I also have all three seasons of Millennium on DVD.
As far as any X Files DVD set, there is an alien conspiracy going on that you will want to see from season one. With that said, the regular "filler episodes" outside the alien conspiracy are more for my taste anyway and there is plenty in each season. 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 of writing and producing for TV.
No SCI FI show today has the look, the music and quality of guest casting like the X Files. The crew are top notch and each an every show they gave 150%.
DVD Review: Best price.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the slim set so it's a great price just for the movies. Very little extra. If you are buying for yourself and have to save money, look for used sets at discount stores.
If you're going to purchase DVDs new, I don't know why you would not order from Amazon. I've never been disappointed. Free shipping for purchases over $25, even if the purchases are split up. Direct mailing so I don't have to wrap it and mail it. Depending on where you live, purchases are often tax-free. Great return policy, although I can't remember ever returning anything.
DVD Review: X-Files equals sweet Sci-Fi action!
Summary: 5 Stars
Another fantastic season of the best scifi based TV series ever. With great episodes including redux I and II, as well as the critically acclaimed Post-Modern Prometheus and Kill Switch written by William Gibson. One of my favorite seasons.
Description of The X-Files - The Complete Fifth Season
This collection documents all the truth that was out there during the 1997-8 campaign of the beloved science fiction series, THE X-FILES. Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gilian Anderson) track suspicious cases that may be attributed to the supernatural or involve interplanetary activity. Memorable moments from this season include Mulder's appearance on Jerry Springer's talk show and Scully working with her partner to fake Mulder's death. Episodes include "Foiie a Deux," "Chinga," "Kill Switch," "Redux," and "Bad Blood," a favorite episode among fans dealing with vampirism.The midpoint of what would be a nine-season show, the fifth season of The X-Files (the first to be put on DVD in anamorphic widescreen format) gives fans a heavy heaping of what they love. For the mythology buffs, riveting episodes from the season bookends "Redux" and "The End" to several episodes in between tease with new revelations about the vast government conspiracies and alien invasion plot lines sketched in earlier seasons. But enough questions are left unanswered for the theatrical X-Files movie, which was released the subsequent summer, and the seasons that followed. Supporting characters like the Lone Gunmen, Agent Krycek, the Pusher Robert Modell, and Fox's father and sister Bill and Samantha Mulder are flushed out in more detail in several episodes that occasionally jump back in time to cover the prehistory of the X-files. New chess pieces are introduced, each raising new questions: the clairvoyant child Gibson Praise, Agent Spender, faceless alien resistance fighters with pyromaniacal tendencies, a child who may be Scully's, and Mulder's old flame, agent Diana Fowley (Mimi Rogers). All the time, no one knows who will be assassinated next, who is or isn't dead, just who isn't potentially a child of the Cigarette Smoking Man, and why the base of the neck is everyone's vulnerable spot. The creature feature stand-alone episodes vary in quality, but all are redeemed by the outrageously funny self-parody episode "Bad Blood," a fan favorite that guest stars Luke Wilson as a small-town sheriff who catches Scully's eye.
Finally, "shippers" (fans who would love nothing better than to see Mulder and Scully act upon their feelings for each other) get a heavy dose of the usual sexual innuendo and lingering, tender glances between the attractive costars. Mimi Rogers and Luke Wilson incite palpable jealousy between the leads; the appearance of a wedding band on Mulder's hand in a back story hints at stories not told; and the usual extreme and dimly lit crises illustrate just how far Mulder and Scully will go for each other. In the end, the complexities of their relationship may be the most tense and intriguing of all the mysteries explored by this epic television series. --Eugene Wei
