not paying $140 for the set
I'm sorry but they are asking a bit too much for the set. If I wanted the whole series i would be spending over $1000. I'll pass. Same goes for Star Trek, and I'm a fan of both.

THAT'S HOW A LEGENDARY MYTHOLOGY BEGAN
The x-files season 1 box set is a "must have" not only for the show's hard core fans, but in general for everyone who loves, mystery, adventure, and good acting accompanied by intelligent script-writing and scientific elements.Two FBI agents Mulder and Scully meet for the first time to investigate a teenage alien abduction case in Oregon, which by the way is based on documented facts.Agent Mulder, an Oxford psychology Phd graduate, convinced that his sister was abducted by aliens when he was 12, investigates every case with an eye to the paranormal, while Agent Scully, who left behind a career in medicine, tries to put him back in the FBI mainstream by using her scientific background to explain the apparently unexplainable phenomena. This season contains no double episodes whatsoever except Tooms which is not related to the conspiracy that appears in the later seasons. I think that all the standalone episodes were excellent because Chris Carter used some of the most original, fascinating, and scariest stories. A brilliant combination of science with fantasy to solve the most mysterious murder cases that make every viewer question their beliefs, integrated into a clever, but frightening plot, makes up the first cycle of one of the most successful series in television history. Some of my favorite episodes are: "Pilot", "Deep Throat", "Conduit", "Ice", "Eve", "Darkness Falls", "The Erlenmeyer Flask", etc. Another brilliant character who appears in this season for the first time and dies in the season finale is Deep Throat: The secret government operative who decides to help the 2 agents in uncovering truths meant to be hidden, who in the end pays the price with his own life. The dvd collection contains some interesting special features including a documentary on the whole season.The acting of David and Gillian here is not as good compared to the upcoming seasons, but the bond between the two agents is strengthened by what they experience together and everything they witness in their investigations. I enjoyed watching every single episode, (especially after watching season 9, which transformed the series into I don't know what). This is how it all began. Don't think twice--buy it now.

Great series!
A great series,a must have item if your a true 'X files' fan! Mulder and Scully,the greatest!
