The Truth Is Here - Season's the best!
Oh yes, this is the very best of The X Files. This is where it all began. Mulder & Scully's endless quest for the truth. It was here that Dana came to know, that maybe the truth really is out there... I remember watching the pilot-episode back in 1994, and thinkin' "Wow, this is really somethin' different". I became so fascinated by the very essence of the show, and how it touched and showed fascinating stories and compelling semi-factual cases concerning UFO's and such. Very unique, and quit new to the tv-industry at the time back in sept. 1993 when it first aired. To the actual release of this first season of The X Files on DVD:
They're all great episodes, but to name the absolutely top notch, it must be these: "The X Files" (pilot), "Deep Throat", "Conduit" (i'll never stop watching this ep!!!), "Space" (yes! I like it), "Ice", "The Jersey Devil", "Darkness Falls", "Fallen Angel", "E.B.E." and "The Erlenmeyer Flask". I'll never forget the first 'oh no!' thrill of seeing Deep Throat bein' shot, and his outlet of the show's theme: "Trust No One", and I recall thinkin', "Oh my God, is the series gonna end now, or...?". I was completely caught up in the storyline, and fantastic new-genre breaking show, when seeing the cliffhanger back in 1994. Now I can revisit those old times, feel those great moments all by viewing the best picture possible w/ this genuies box-set on DVD. It's simply highlights what the show's heart really was, and always were until (sorry to say, but kinda true I think) all the succes and media covering from once a strong cult-following to, by then i 1996-1999 the big popularity boom was at it's highest; - which unfortunatelty made the show more mainstream in both writing and producing. But still, Season 1 - 5 rock every real x-phile, but the first days of Mulder & Scully searching the unkown can't ever be forgotten: This is why we all started watching the show. The very beginning of The X Files...

The way TV should be released on DVD
Remember back when The X-Files was still fairly easy to understand?

Relive those magic (and sometimes goofy) moments with this new box set. Sure, half of it has already been released on VHS - but this set includes some gems that the first couple waves of home video ignored.

Remember the eternally creepy "Young At Heart", or a few unintenionally silly episodes like "Space" or "Ghost in the Machine"? Or Nicholas Lea's first X-Files appearance (although not as Krycek)? How about "Roland" or "Born Again", which represent some of the finest moments from the first season? They're all here, alongside other popular episodes like "The Erlenmeyer Flask", "Deep Throat", "E.B.E.", "Darkness Falls" and "Ice" (which is essentially a remake of John Carpenter's The Thing - but the X-Files does it better)!

For the first time in the U.S., you can finally buy a TV program season by season. And plus - these discs give you trailers, interviews and even some cool DVD-ROM content.

If only Paramount would do their Star Trek discs this way!
