The X-Files - The Complete First Season Customer Reviews (4 - 6 of 30 Reviews)

Season One is my Favorite
Contains my all-time favorite episodes "Ice" and "Darkness Falls". Mulder and Scully look unusually young and different (you will notice after you have watched all episodes in seasons 1 through 9). Chris Carter is still in the process of searching for a stable format of the show and full of original ideas. The unforgettable first season.

X-philes Dream come True!!
This X-files 7 DVD Box set is an X-phile's dream come true! If it had included outtakes and more deleted scenes it would have been simply perfect but it still comes pretty close the way it is. The foldup case is unique and comes with a cool little booklet with a listing of every single episode.

There is something very cool about owning the entire first season and there is about 4 episodes on 6 DVD's with the 7th one being full of extra's. You have never seen the show look so good on DVD and the sound is X-cellent!

I wouldn't heistate as a X-files Fan to buy this set, beg for it or borrow it if you want to know what all the fuss is about. Despite it's lack of more extra's you are getting the entire first season, interviews with Chris Carter and the original TV promo's for each episode!! I gotta give this 5 stars and here's hoping Season 2 Box Set includes outtakes!

The X-Files: The Complete First Season
I recently purchased this DVD box set and I can't tell you how pleased I am with the design and content! This is every X-Phile's dream come true. The design of the fold-out seven-panel box set is fabulous. The first six DVD's in this package contain all of the episodes from season one. It contains fan favorites like "Squeeze," "Tooms," "Beyond the Sea," and "Ice." It is especially nice to be able to see great episodes like "Lazarus," "Fire," and "Miracle Man," none of which make the cut of the twelve Season One episodes released on VHS a few years ago. The only criticism that one could have is that the extra features on Disk 7 are kind of slim. The documentary The Truth About Season One is nice, but it should have been longer (it clocks in at just eleven minutes) and series stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson do not appear in any of the interview segments (although I'm sure they were approached for this DVD project and it's not the fault of the producers of this package that they declined). There's only one special-effects segment (for "Fallen Angel") yet I can think of a half-dozen other episodes with much more fascinating special effects ("Squeeze," "Ice" and the pilot come to mind). And finally, I was disappointed to see there are only two deleted scenes included in this entire DVD set. Both are from the pilot episode, and one of them is simply a slightly-altered scene from the pilot (in this unseen version, Scully's boyfriend appears in the background). Surely with 24 episodes having been filmed in Season One, there must have been other scenes that didn't make it on TV. I can remember reading about a cut scene from "Shapes" were Mulder and Scully are driving down a country road and a herd of cattle block their entrance, to which Scully rolls down the window and yells "Leather purse! Baseball glove!" This scene would have been great! And it's too bad the bloopers from the famous X-Files Blooper Reels weren't included (although I imagine they may have been forbidden seeing as many of the bloopers are R-rated). But for whatever this box set may lack in bonus features, it more than makes up for in packaging, graphic design, and picture and sound quality. Many of the DVD box sets of later X-Files seasons seem to have more bonus features and improved packaging quality so it seems things are only improving from here.
