Continuing brilliance of the X-Files FULL SKULL BABY!

If you're not already addicted by the time you have finished the first season ,then you will be by the end of this one.
Picking right up where it left off in season one, Mulder and Scully continue their investigation into all things paranormal and unexplained.
Probably just a tad better than season one, contains some absolute gems such as " The Host ", " Dunae Barry " " Ascension " " Colony " End Game " and " Anasazi "
This season is quite remarkable as Scully is abducted by forces unknown and disappears. In real life Gillian Anderson was pregnant, and the writers of the show incorporated her pregancy ingeniously into the show.
But you will have to watch for yourselves to see how they do it!
The other thing that season two developed was the expanding storylines of what are known as the " Mythology " episodes.
These are episodes that surround Mulders belief that Earth is being visited by Aliens, and there is a conspiracy of men on Earth who know about this, and are aiding and abetting the Aliens for reasons yet unclear.
The season ends on a cliffhanger which was repeated successfully in coming seasons.

A truly great show, and a must for any sort of X-File fan.

Thanks for reading

Another very good season FULL SKULL BABY!

X-Files was always a show that I was very curious about, but I simply never had the time to catch the show on FOX, or the money to shell out for the expensive DVD sets. However, now that the prices have been reduced, I have been able to start watching the show on DVD. The first season did a great job at establishing Mulder and Scully and was very good overall. The second season of X-Files manages to be just as good or even slightly better than the previous season. It features the ultimate in alien mythology with "Little Green Men", "Duane Berry" "Ascension", "Colony", "Endgame", and the great season ending cliffhanger " Anasazi". There are also creepy episodes like " Die Hand die Verletzt" in which a Satanic cult is focused on, "Irresistible" which has a serial killer target Scully, "One Breath" which deals with Scully's near death experience and the afterlife, "3" which deals with vampires, and "Calusari" which deals with the possesion of a child.

As a new fan to the show, I can honestly say that I am glad that I started watching because X-Files is so entertaining that you almost become addicted to it. However, as good as season 2 was, it still enforces my one complaint about the show so far. X-Files offers great characters and many good episodes, but lacks consistancy. There was times during season 2 where I was blown away by how good an episode was, and then there would be 2-3 episodes in a row that were bordering on almost being boring. The second season features 25 episodes, and I would have to say that at least 7-8 episodes were not all that great. Don't get me wrong, X-Files is still an amazing show. The writing, directing, effects, and performances from the actors are all first rate. But with the lack of consistancy this show demonstrates, I could only give the second season of X-Files a four star rating.

The DVD set is first rate once again. I love the fact that the set included series creator Chris Carter talking about his 12 favorite episodes from the second season, just like the first season DVD set did. I love hearing an insider's perspective on the show, and who better than the man who created the show? There are also deleted scenes, and behind the scenes clips as well.

A solid 4 stars...

The spark ignites again FULL SKULL BABY!
What is arguably the best season of the x-files seasons 2 is here on dvd. Classic episodes that uravel the mythology of the show as well as some great one shots as well. Who can forget classics like Duane Barry, Blood, 3, The Calusari, End game, Soft light the lists goes on. This is the season where the X became completley legitimate and a downright phenomenon if you missed it this is the season where the world started watching. The writing by all of the X-files teams is especially strong in this season as are the production values and you can feel the actors starting to really groove on their roles. What more can I say if you have seen these before you know you want to watch them again, if you missed them here is your perfect chance to watch them for the first time with all sorts of dvd extras. Now where is that lone gunmen spinoff series or are we stuck with Dogget for another season?
