Summary: The season where the mythology took shape...
Comment: Well, this is a MUST for every person who is interested in understanding the X-Files. Ok, so in season 1 Mulder met Scully, but is not until this season that everything started to get complicated (in an alien-UFO-government-conspriracy) kind of way. Highly recommended -even if more than a decade has passed (and the effects aren't that great)-
This show was transcendental in many ways and that's why it must be watched.

Summary: Missing episode!
Comment: BEWARE!!!! As of March 2008, there is still a problem with DVDs being sent out with the season 2 finale missing! The episode "Anasazi" was missing from disc 6 that I received just recently. Amazon says they will replace it, but I am not convinced the replacement won't have the same problem. I've seen comments about this problem going back over 2 years. I'm disgusted that the bad DVDs haven't been removed from the shelves by now. Terrible. BEWARE!!!!

Summary: The Second Season Meets the Expectations Raised By The First Season!
Comment: The X-Files Season 2 begins with one of the best episodes of the season. "Little Green Men" finally showed us the abduction of Samantha Mulder and pretty much proved that the truth is out there. As it turns out, "Little Green Men" was just a taste of what was to come.

The X-Files has its ups and downs, but this season was a definete up. Almost every episode was excellent and well-thought out. Of course some episodes were dreadful, including the ridiculous "Excelesis Dei" and "Fearful Symmetry".

The first season just hinted at an overarcing mythology for the series, in such episodes as "E.B.E." and "The Erlenmeyer Flask". This season really gave the series direction in terms of its mythology. After "Little Green Men" we had The excellent "Duane Barry", where an insane man who takes people in a travelling agency hostage claims to have been abducted by aliens. The subsequent episode, "Asension", is a powerhouse of plot twists and important events, including Scully's abduction. "One Breath" shows when Scully is returned to Mulder, but is in a deadly coma. "Red Museam" answers the question who killed Deep Throat. "Colony" and "Endgame" show the apparent return of Samantha Mulder to her family and an alien bounty hunter is going after aliens on Earth. The season finale, "Anasazi" is the best episode of the season, ending with a major cliffhanger.

Top 5 favorite Episodes:
1. Anasazi
2. Asension
3. Die Hand Die Verlazt(An excellent episode that parodies the show)
4. Endgame
5. One Breath

Comment: I just picked up the series again starting with season 1 and Im hooked once again. I accually havent seen an episode since the 90s and it hasent become stale after all these years. As for the missing episode problem for season 2 in past reviews , my slim set came complete so it must have been fixed by Amazon.

Editorial Reviews:

While the first season of The X-Files introduced us to Scully and Mulder, the second season finds the show confidently hitting its stride. Building on its earlier success, the show evolves, and in these 25 episodes, a glimpse is shown of a longer-running story line (which will continue through subsequent seasons) that is woven into the usual stand-alone episodes of the paranormal. These so-called mythology episodes hint at a global conspiracy involving sinister government agents, UFOs, alien abductions, genetic engineering, the ever-lurking Cigarette Smoking Man, and Fox Mulder's father. Season 2 fleshes out Mulder's family history, including the childhood abduction of his sister Samantha, an event that would shape him for life. Actress Gillian Anderson (Scully) became unexpectedly pregnant during season 2, but series creator Chris Carter managed to dance nimbly around her absence and even integrate it into the show. As in season 1, Mulder and Scully are surrounded by a strong supporting cast, which adds a suspicious new agent named Alex Krycek, an informant named X, and a seemingly indestructible alien bounty hunter.

Among the standout episodes are "The Host," "Duane Barry/Ascension," "Humbug," "Dod Kalm," "Colony/End Game," and "Anasazi." These episodes are a powerful reminder that The X-Files, like no other show on television, can span horror, suspense, mystery, romance, drama, and comedy, sometimes all in the same episode, and always with the production values of a major feature film. --Eugene Wei
