Editorial Review:
Amazon.com: This outstanding set of six episodes from the fourth (1996) season of The X-Files offers an equal balance of superior stand-alone stories and intricate chapters of the show's ongoing conspiracy "mythology," providing viewers with an opportunity to savor consistently excellent writing and direction. The primary reason to own this set is the inclusion of "Home," an episode so unsettling that it was banned from Fox-TV after just one network broadcast (thus making it the most cherished episode for collectors). But the good news here is that all of these episodes are equally outstanding, representing the series cast and crew at their seasoned best, when the show had fully settled into the tantalizing complexities of its overall structure (most evident here in the related episodes "Herrenvolk," "Tunguska," and "Terma"). These shows also give David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson some of their finest moments, both dramatic and deliciously sarcastic, as the Scully-Mulder dynamic reaches its most satisfying level of comfort and teasing ambiguity.
From deeply disturbing plots to the brand of offbeat levity that gives the show its unique appeal, these six episodes reveal the series at peak maturity, willing and able to push the limits of terror as never before seen on television. Certainly not for every taste (since they're sure to prove unsettling for the uninitiated viewer), but for die-hard X-philes, this is arguably the finest boxed set available. --Jeff Shannon
Description: Episodes include: Herrenvolk, Home, Unrone, Paper Hearts, Tunguska, and Terma.

This box set collection is poorly selected and not even an accurate representation of Season 4. Home, temporarily banned from Fox but now replaying, is the absolutely worst written and executed show in The X Files. Home's only attraction is the fact that it was forbidden fruit. On the other hand, Paper Hearts is not only a good piece of writing, but elegantly filmed and well-acted. Unruhe is also a good example of dark X Files done well. Herrenvolk and Tunguska/Terma are all essential to ... Read More

The newest X-Files video set, long-awaited indeed, is essential for the true fan. HOME is extremely rare. FX shows it, but usually only in its very late-night slot when it comes up in episode order. They also "have" to show it when it wins viewer's choice marathons. But Fox will never show it again. As for PAPER HEARTS, it is a poetic masterpiece. UNRUHE was a bit of a stretch; a fascinating episode, but not essential 4th season either. TUNGUSKA - TERMA are needed for the mythology but ... Read More

You can never go wrong with the X-Files. Most, if not all of the episodes are excellent in their storytelling, and in the past several sets, only the best of the best of each season have been chosen to be placed in this video series. So it is no surprise, that six new episodes have been chosen to be immortialized in bronze (so to speak), and all of them excellent and sometimes downright scarry. [Keep 'em coming, Chris!]

I loved Musings! it sheds some light on this mysterious character! Pusher was great because I felt that I wasn't the only one who had consdered the idea of a serial killer with telekentic powers! Small potatoes was hilarious because of "Mulder" doing the G-man bit in front of the mirror ptending to be Al Pacino.

I felt these episodes were very well done. I especially loved "paper hearts" because of the Mulder/Scully relationship. This one is good for those first time viewers.
