The X-Files - The Complete Seventh Season Reviews
Season seven is EXTREMELY UNDERRATED
Up until a few months ago, I never watched a single episode of the X-Files. However, now that the DVD sets have been reduced in price, I had the opportunity to start watching the show. Right off the bat, I was hooked immediately and with each passing season the show became established in my eyes as one of the best and most addictive sci-fi shows ever created. The overall opinion of most of the fans is that the first six seasons of the show are the best, and that seasons seven through nine are mainly average. Another complaint from the fans is that since season seven is Duchovny's last full season with the show, that he did not put as much energy into the character Fox Mulder as he did in the past. Well I am here to tell you that not only is Duchovny still at the top of his game, but season seven is a great season overall and extremely underrated.
My expectations for the seventh season going in were extremely low, and after I finished, I was literally in shock at how good the season turned out to be. While season six still remains the best season of the show, the seventh season is definately one of the most enjoyable seasons of the entire show in my opinion. There a few episodes from season seven that are up for being part of my top ten list such as X-Cops in which Mulder and Scully are put into an actual episode of the show COPS while in search of a monster, The Amazing Meelini in which Mulder and Scully investigate the death of a magician, The Goldberg Variation in which Mulder and Scully meet the luckiest man on earth that manages to pass bad luck onto everyone around him, Je Souhaite in which Mulder discovers a 500 year old genie, and the amazing season finale Requiem. Other episodes worth mentioning are Millenium in which the character Frank Black from the show Millenium makes an appearance, Hungry, Rush, Signs and Wonders, and Orison in which the serial killer Donnie Faster who abducted Scully in season two makes a return.
Overall, the seventh season is one of the best of the entire show based on what I have seen so far. I have yet to see the eigth and ninth seasons, but with seasons five and six being as good as they were, and season seven being Duchovny's last full one, I doubt the show gets any better than the first seven seasons. The DVD set manages to be great once again. There is an extensive documentary on season seven as a whole, as well as 10 deleted scenes, commentary on three different episodes, and more.
A solid 5 stars...
includes my all time favorite episode
I confess, I am a huge X-Files fan, my favorite episodes being the funny ones. It was difficult to choose which season I'd review first. I picked the 7th because my all time favorite episode "Hollywood A.D." is included here. Directed and written by David Duchovny, it is the story of a Hollywood agent/scout working alongside Mulder and Scully to get a feeling for the "real thing". The Studio plans an Ed Wood-kind of movie about the agents which will include dancing zombies, the inevitable kiss etc. etc. Hilarious!!! Great storyline and marvellous acting. Best of all: Gillian Anderson's beautiful smile.
