Barnes & Noble With The X-Files drawing to a close after nine sublimely spooky seasons, viewers trying to recall the shows glory days need look no further than this handsomely packaged six-disc set, which includes all 20 episodes from Season Five and myriad special features as well. The fifth season represents Chris Carters influential series at its creative peak, as FBI agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) gradually come to comprehend the enormity of the enveloping conspiracies theyve been investigating for years. Carters long-running redefinition of the sci-fi genre -- which has encompassed everything from psychically gifted serial killers to malevolent genetic anomalies and extraterrestrial invaders -- is famous for its mesmerizing quality, and Season Five maintains an extraordinarily high level of excellence in writing, direction, and acting. Guest stars in these episodes include Luke Wilson, Richard Belzer, Darren McGavin, and even Jerry Springer. However, as always, the finest acting comes from Duchovny, Anderson, and series regular Mitch Pileggi, whose Assistant Director Skinner gradually evolved from a relatively minor supporting character to one of the principal figures in the ongoing saga. Among the extras in this collection are deleted scenes from various episodes, Carter’s commentaries for selected episodes, a 46-minute "Inside The X-Files" TV special, an all-new documentary titled "The Truth About Season Five," and a newly developed DVD-ROM game, Earthbound. This might well be the definitive X-Files collection, and its a must-have for anyone with more than a nodding acquaintance with the show. Ed HulseCustomer ReviewsWrite your own online review >Number Of Reviews: 1 Average Rating: Devon Colbert, a USC film student & I love movies There is still nothing quite like The X-FIles...This collection of the entire fifth season of Chris Carters groundbreaking series has everything! Not only does The X-Files keep up the same level of great television that it has maintained in the previous four seasons, but it also stretches out and shows its viewers that comedy is something that can be achieved on this show as well, (and very nicely i might add). In the episode Bad Blood, (arguably the best stand alone episode in X-Files history), the comedic performances by the shows two stars, Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny, are so well performed that one might think comedy is a natural occurence on this show! Also, with the special guest appearance by Luke Wilson, the comedic genius is multiplied. Stephen King lends his talents to one episode in this season as well. Overall this season is a must have not only for any X-Files fan, but for any fan of well made cinema/televsion.Also Recommended: All of The X-Files seasons 1-4, Moulin Rouge, Mulholland Dr., Playing By Heart Interested in the song lyrics? - Check out themostlyrics.com!
