DVD Reviews of The X-Files - The Complete Sixth Season (Slim Set)
DVD Review: I can understand why this season is considered to be the beginning of the end of X-Files
Summary: 4 Stars
While I still enjoyed this season, there are some reasons why it wasn't as good as previous seasons:
1. Moving to California definitely changed the look of the series. It suddenly became so sunny and clear, the dimness and spookiness of Canada was gone! And it took a while to find good lighting for Scully, for most of the season she looked old.
2. Too many comedy episodes in the beginning of the season. At some point I started thinking it became some kind of parody of X-Files, not actual X-Files.
3. The main mytharc was totally finished off, and very quickly. I was very sad to see this story line go. So many years to build it and then 2 episodes and it's all over. Where do X-Files go from here?
4. Finally, I got really tired of all the flirting between Scully and Mulder. Like many, I wanted them to be together, but I didn't want to be teased. Either go all the way, or let their relationship be the way it used to before, I say.
That being said, it was still great season, just a little thin on really great episodes.
DVD Review: first BAD season
Summary: 2 Stars
A new fan of these series I fell in love with the show becoming addicted to it, talking about nothing but The X Files, etc. The movies was great. However the return to the show was very disappointing. I really enjoyed that once in a while there would be a "comedy" X Files episode to have some variety, but on this season they over did it. Most of this season is comedy, and some of them very cheesy comedy. Only a few episodes are serious like the good old classic X Files episodes, and even some of those "serious" episodes have some moments of cheesy comedy that turn you off.
The 2nd disappointment is something on the "Mulder/Scully" subject (don't wanna go in detail to give any spoilers). Something unexpected is happening with their partnership in the movie. It doesn't get solved in the movie which made me think it was a very smart way to make people watch this season hoping this matter was solved or at least talked about. Wrong, I'm still waiting for that conversation between the 2 of them. This season makes it seem like that moment of the movie (my fav part) never even happened.
As most fans I used to think "wouldn't it be nice if they did the show again?", but it is seasons like this that make you go "nah, just leave it the way it is".
I would definitely try to rent this season before wasting your money, unless you are a collector and you must have all the DVDs.
DVD Review: The Weird files
Summary: 3 Stars
The X files just get a little stranger and a little stranger. Each season stretches the limits of the imagination. Fans of the Xfiles will love this season. Non-fans will wonder what it's all about.DVD Review: OK: Vocal Film Critic
Summary: 5 Stars
This was bought as a requested birthday gift for a college student. Since I did not hear a peep about it, I will assume good things. (The recipient does not hesitate to offer negative remarks about cinema of any sort if they are warranted.)DVD Review: My favorite season
Summary: 5 Stars
I've rewatched a lot of these episodes in anticipation of the new movie coming out. It only confirmed my opinion that Season Six was my favorite season of this show, with more stand-alone episodes that I rewatch again and again than any of the other seasons. I love "Triangle," the episode where Mulder finds himself on a World War II era ship and Scully goes into overdrive trying to get him help. "Dreamland Parts One and Two", a sort of body-switching episode, is also fun. "Tithonus" is a spooky episode about an immortal photographer who always knows when someone is about to die and waits around to take pictures. "Arcadia" is the episode where Mulder and Scully go under cover as husband and wife to investigate a series of deaths in an uptight planned community. Very funny. "How the Ghosts Stole Christmas" is an X-Files classic, Mulder and Scully scouting out a haunted house on Christmas Eve. "Monday" is The X-Files version of "Groundhog Day," as Mulder lives the same crappy day over and over until he figures out how to stop a bank holdup from turning fatal. Carol Burnett's daughter, who led a somewhat troubled life and later died of cancer, does a particularly good job here as the bank robber's desperate girlfriend. It's creepy watching her, knowing her background and what happened to her a few years later. "Milagro" is a strange one about a writer who fixates on Scully to the point that one of his characters nearly rips her heart out. It's strongly implied here that Mulder and Scully are in love. The two that I rewatch most often are "Rain King" and "The Unnatural." "Rain King" is a valentine of an episode, about a guy whose unrequited love for his best friend results in unexplained weather phenomena in a small Kansas town. It's sweet and romantic and has some great comic moments as the guy and the girl (and Mulder and Scully?) make their way to each other. "The Unnatural" was written and directed by David Duchovny, who is quite a gifted writer. It's a great story about an alien who fell in love with the game of baseball. Duchovny also throws in some commentary about race relations, the meaning of life and love, and the dangers of obsession, all without hammering the viewers over the head with it. The episode also includes some nice scenes with Mulder showing Scully how to play baseball. I don't care for the myth-arc episodes, but those who do should find some meat in "Two Fathers" and "One Son" and "Biogenesis." I thought "Alpha" was a bit of a dog (pun intended) and didn't particularly enjoy "Trevor." "Three of a Kind" is a Lone Gunmen-centric episode and "Field Trip" has its comic moments. If I could only buy one season, this is the one I'd pick.
Description of The X-Files - The Complete Sixth Season (Slim Set)
Studio: Tcfhe Release Date: 12/02/2008 Run time: 820 minutes Rating: NrFollowing the X-Files feature film in the summer of 1998, "The Beginning" quickly crowbars an attempt at fitting the film into the TV chronology before it picks up plot points left dangling from the fifth-season finale, "The End" (note the guard asleep at the nuclear power plant console is named Homer!). Between arc threads are several pleasing excursions: time travel to a Bermuda Triangle boatload of Nazis ("Triangle"), further temporal escapades akin to Groundhog Day ("Monday"), a demonic baby case featuring genre stalwart Bruce Campbell ("Terms of Endearment"), and Duchovny being able to play someone else via personality switching ("The Dreamland, Parts 1 and 2"). Back in the real scheme of things, Mulder chases "S.R. 819," a Senate resolution tying conspiracies together. "Two Fathers" and "One Son" indicate that the abductee experiments are intended to cure the black oil disease. The year finishes with "BioGenesis," in which we're asked to ponder, are we from Mars? A beach-buried UFO leaves Scully wondering. --Paul Tonks
