Summary: The X Files Light
Comment: Maybe the last "classic" season for some purists, this is where The X Files tried to expand their horizons after the movie, and the result was more emphasis on the comedic episodes. And while we dont have any trouble with that, the main problem this season had was in programming: they put the majority of the comedy episodes right in the beggining, one after another, and that made the season pretty uneven. But please don't get me wrong, most of the episodes are really great as usual, and for the whole series is the turning point after the whole Conspiracy mithology is definitely exposed and given a resolution, and some of the stories are given a Twilight Zone mood (this will be fully applied in Season 9).

In my book two of the episodes dont work that well, and those will be "The Rain King" (good in its own, but way too light for The X Files), and "Agua Mala" (which starts ok, but seems that for the ending they didn't know what to do). The rest of the eps are quite solid, so is definitely a must in your XF collection.

Summary: Single Best Season
Comment: This season is the best season in my opinion. It's the first season that's aged well, with special effects, etc. But also has the best mythology episodes (the storyline episodes). The season was already good, but when I got to disc 3 and all four of the episodes, I was blown away. Each of those four rank in my top 10. And the mythology episodes on it finally go somewhere, after so many "you're truths are lies that are truths" episodes before. The rest of the season is great, too. I was not disappointed with a single one. No weak episodes!

Summary: The Best Season!
Comment: The X-Files is at their creative peak on season 6. Season 6 features hilarious midadventures, an unexpected heart warming episode about confused love, and every episode has an interesting mystery to solve. I also liked the selection of slimey creatures that were featured in some of these episodes.

I liked season 7 almost as much as season 6. So check out season 7 for good entertainment. Season 2 is also suggested.

Summary: Best season ever!
Comment: [...] Out of all 9 seasons of The X-Files, I would have to say that season 6 was my favorite. Season 6 was the season after The X-Files movie, Fight the Future (Released Summer 1998).

While I enjoyed almost all of the episodes during season 6, I would have to say there are quite a few that stand out from the rest. These episodes include:

Triangle - Mulder goes to the Bermuda Triange when he learns that the Queen Anne, a British luxury liner which disappeared during WWII, has re-appeared in the middle of the Sargasso Sea. Mulder's boat is wrecked and after floating in the water, he is hauled aboard the ship which has just been hijacked by the Nazis searching for the man who will build the atom bomb. Mulder tries to convince the crew that they have traveled into the future but evidence further suggests that it is he, who is back in the past.

Dreamland 1&2 - While being detained near the famed "Dreamland" Area 51, a strange craft flies overhead and Mulder swaps bodies with an Area 51 'Man-in-Black'. While the other agent has fun in Mulder's body, Mulder himself finds it difficult to fit into someone else's life, especially a shadowy one.

How the Ghosts Stole Christmas - Mulder talks Scully into investigating a haunted house on Christmas Eve where several couples have met their fate on that very night. While there they encounter endless tricks and traps set by a ghostly couple who originally made a lovers suicide pact in the house, and they try to convince Mulder and Scully to kill each other.

Arcadia - On their first official case back on the X-Files, Mulder and Scully go undercover as a married couple at a prestigious planned community where several residents have recently disappeared after failing to comply with the rules and regulations.

Monday - A woman is forced to relive the same day over and over as she tries to prevent Mulder and Scully from being killed by her boyfriend during a bank robbery attempt; and as the events restart again and again, Mulder's sense of Deja-vu grows stronger.

Milagro - A writer living next to Mulder becomes obsessed with Scully and confesses to her that he is using her for a character in his novel. Scully finds herself strangely drawn to him even though he is now the prime suspect in the murder case that she and Mulder are investigating.

The Unnatural - Mulder meets with Agent Arthur Dales' brother (also named Arthur!) and is told a tale of a talented negro baseball player from Roswell, New Mexico in the 1940's who may have been an alien that ran away from his colony because of his love for the game. (Written and Directed by David Duchovny).

By the end of this DVD set, you'll want to stay away from the Bermuda Triangle, stay clear of Area 51, be afraid of storms, refuse to go to the bank on Monday, and you'll be convinced that all of the greatest baseball players of all time are/were aliens.

Editorial Reviews:

Following the X-Files feature film in the summer of 1998, "The Beginning" quickly crowbars an attempt at fitting the film into the TV chronology before it picks up plot points left dangling from the fifth-season finale, "The End" (note the guard asleep at the nuclear power plant console is named Homer!). Between arc threads are several pleasing excursions: time travel to a Bermuda Triangle boatload of Nazis ("Triangle"), further temporal escapades akin to Groundhog Day ("Monday"), a demonic baby case featuring genre stalwart Bruce Campbell ("Terms of Endearment"), and Duchovny being able to play someone else via personality switching ("The Dreamland, Parts 1 and 2"). Back in the real scheme of things, Mulder chases "S.R. 819," a Senate resolution tying conspiracies together. "Two Fathers" and "One Son" indicate that the abductee experiments are intended to cure the black oil disease. The year finishes with "BioGenesis," in which we're asked to ponder, are we from Mars? A beach-buried UFO leaves Scully wondering. --Paul Tonks
