By its third season, The X-Files had grown from a cult hit to a global phenomenon, becoming the most popular show in many countries outside the U.S. Armed with the knowledge that the show was here to stay, series creator Chris Carter expanded its mythology, and the 24 episodes in this boxed set represent arguably the strongest of all the X-Files seasons. As usual, stand-alone episodes explored the paranormal and sometimes terrifying possibilities in mythology, pop culture, and religion. Darin Morgan helps the show to mature by expanding its use of humor, directing classic episodes such as "Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose" (featuring a fabulous performance from Peter Boyle) and "Jose Chung's 'From Outer Space.'" Meanwhile, two-part episodes continue to delve into the X-Files' own mythology, introducing the alien black oil, the implant in Scully's neck, the mysterious Agent X, and the shape-shifting Jeremiah Smith. But following the complex mythology is not crucial to enjoying the show. The strength of the X-Files lies not in resolution but in feeding the paranoia of its rabid audience by revealing conspiracies that linger in the mind as unanswered questions. Series creator Carter realized wisely that fans did not look to the X-Files to explain the unexplained, but to question that which they thought they understood. The third season was effective because it hinted that while the truth was out there, it was more complex, sinister, and amazing than even Mulder had imagined. --Eugene Wei

The last 3 episodes to this show is sure to keep you interested, which only gets better when you get to the next disc for some blindsided tales....

If you are a fan of Fringe, you will love X-Files. Even if you've seen the show, watch it again! It's soooo good. The slim case for the season is very convenient. The only issue is a lack of special features, but nobody thought about special features when this was filmed so it's forgivable haha. This is a must-have.
The third best season of X-files December 30, 2009
Sam "Mayday" Malone (Rohan)
Excellent season, X-files hits its stride, peaking in seasons 4 and 5. The packaging it comes in is also very well put together and probably why the sets are now so cheap compared to just a few years ago.

Just bought seasons 3 & 4 to ad to our collection and I was at first excited to see a reduced price...
The packaging is different, rather than the previous slim sets (as advertised) the packaging is now a thin 6 disc set (which I only found listed on the web page in one place after I went back to look). Same great show, just very disappointed in Amazon and their deceptive web page.
