Editorial Review:
Amazon.com: 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.
Commentaries and deleted scenes are available for some of the 24 episodes, and the last disc in the set contains numerous TV spots and interviews with the creators about the filming of the third season. --Eugene Wei

Just bought seasons 3 & 4 to ad to our collection and I was at first excited to see a reduced price...
The packaging is different, rather than the previous slim sets (as advertised) the packaging is now a thin 6 disc set (which I only found listed on the web page in one place after I went back to look). Same great show, just very disappointed in Amazon and their deceptive web page.

I waited until the order time had expired and still did not have my order. I contacted Amazon, who in turn contacted the people I had ordered from. They apologized and asked me how I would like them to handle the situation. I asked them to refund my card, which they promptly did. I was disappointed to not get what I ordered, but I was very impressed with the prompt and courteous way this was handled.

As one of the fan group for those who "boldly go where no one has gone before", I'd like to advance a plug for a series which does a fine job of going where the paranormal has ever intersected our domain, and brings it into the house just across the street, or around the corner.
X-files producers consistently preserve their protagonists and often re-package and re-introduce their best antagonists, which goes a long way towards inducing a sense of viewer familiarity. The mythological and the ... Read More

God created The X-Files and He saw that it was good...
Season 1 of The X-Files, what can I say that hasn't already been said. This was the birth of one of the most iconic shows EVER, not just in the SciFi realm. Without The X-Files there would be no LOST or Fringe or half of the shows that have come out since '93. The X-Files gave SciFi respectability beyond anything else. Before Mulder and Scully Scifi brought up mental images of overgrown nerds in their mother's basements watching Star ... Read More
