Summary: Has anybody noticed ...
Comment: ...that X-files has a big influence from the Silence of the Lambs? ... the name of the locations written on the right side of the screen? Anderson and Foster's identical haircuts? FBI agents? I love both but I didn't notice these similarities until now ...

Customer Rating:

Summary: X-files is a great Sci-fi TV show, but I highly recommend "supernatural 1" and Supernatural 2."
Comment: Some of the episodes of X-files were riveting and quite entertaining, but if you wanted the best Sci-fi TV show, I would recommend "supernatural 1" and Supernatural 2" they're the best I've ever seen so far. I recommended them to some people, and now they couldn't wait for Supernatural 3. Supernatural is spectacular!

I have watched these episdoes within three or four days. I know that may sound a bit crazy, and maybe obessessive, but I had watched these episodes before, just very much out of order. I decided after finishing the ninth season earlier this week, that I would restart watching "The X-Files" again, and watch them mostly in order.

This season had a few duds here and there, as I'm sure every season does, but was a pretty soild start to an excellent series. The Pilot was a great premiere, and was followed by an even greater second episode, and the season ended in a final shocking conclusion with "The Erlenmeyer Flask," if you've never seen "The X-Files" and want to start, you should start here and let the stories take hold of you.

In the end, I calculated the score, and in my book this get's a 184/240 which equals 76.6, which rounds to a 77%.

Editorial Reviews:

By its third season, The X-Files had grown from a cult hit to a global phenomenon, becoming the most popular show in many countries outside the U.S. Armed with the knowledge that the show was here to stay, series creator Chris Carter expanded its mythology, and the 24 episodes in this boxed set represent arguably the strongest of all the X-Files seasons. As usual, stand-alone episodes explored the paranormal and sometimes terrifying possibilities in mythology, pop culture, and religion. Darin Morgan helps the show to mature by expanding its use of humor, directing classic episodes such as "Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose" (featuring a fabulous performance from Peter Boyle) and "Jose Chung's 'From Outer Space.'" Meanwhile, two-part episodes continue to delve into the X-Files' own mythology, introducing the alien black oil, the implant in Scully's neck, the mysterious Agent X, and the shape-shifting Jeremiah Smith. But following the complex mythology is not crucial to enjoying the show. The strength of the X-Files lies not in resolution but in feeding the paranoia of its rabid audience by revealing conspiracies that linger in the mind as unanswered questions. Series creator Carter realized wisely that fans did not look to the X-Files to explain the unexplained, but to question that which they thought they understood. The third season was effective because it hinted that while the truth was out there, it was more complex, sinister, and amazing than even Mulder had imagined. --Eugene Wei
