Season four is well worth the small price. Every episode is an intellectual and dramatic joy.

 Show adrift, searching for identity August 2, 2008
Bruce E. Munck (Gaston, SC United States)
Let me start by saying that my rating is not based on the show's entertainment value which I consider very good. The rating I gave is based on my belief that the show failed to follow its original plan, so don't let my 3-star rating dissuade you from buying this collection if you're looking for an above-average sci-fi program. I didn't watch the X Files while it was being broadcast on TV, so, like others here, I am seeing it for the first time on DVD. Season One got off to a real bang with the very first episode and appeared to be headed in the same general direction as the series The Invaders, but the writers evidently ran out of space/alien material rather quickly and resorted to anything at hand. The Invaders never suffered such a plight and remained a thematically pure series from beginning to end. From an entertainment standpoint, X Files is good. Episodes in the 4th season tackle a wide variety of paranormal events and I have to disagree with anyone who claims the acting was anything less than great. It's just that in real life the big cover-up (perceived, at least) concerns aliens from outer space and not inbred mutants, cameras that take pictures of the future, etc. The show drifted from its intended path and the tie-in to the FBI became more questionable all the time. Had the show followed its design it would have featured weekly face-offs between Scully and Mulder and the FBI, with the two agents finding evidence of extraterrestrial activity and the agency stifling their efforts to investigate their findings. The writers might well have produced an even more entertaining show than the one we have. I won't describe episodes of the show as there are plenty of other reviewers who have done that, but I will mention a couple of things that are a trifle aggravating. When accessing the special features in the 4th season there is no way to return directly to the special features menu after viewing one of them ...you go to either the main menu or else the episode menu and from there have to navigate back to the special features. As much as I enjoy watching the extras it's a little more work than I would expect. Another small annoyance concerns the video. I use a Samsung DVD player with an HDMI output connected to a 1080p television. The player allows me to select what aspect ratio to use, so I choose 4x3 mode at the beginning of each episode. For some reason the DVDs occasionally force my player back to widescreen mode during the episodes and I have to reset it again. This anomally has occurred in all of the first four seasons of X Files, but not in any other TV series or movies that were filmed in 4x3. It isn't a huge issue, but I'm not a fan of horizontally stretched people. On the other hand, the transfer is excellent. So there you have it...a very good show! Great acting, excellent transfer of video. My complaints, other than the physical DVD problems, will probably not make sense nor even matter to many readers. This is, after all, a show worth watching.
