Description:
Now you can own the entire eighth season of THE X-FILES™. ALL 21 classic episodes are available for the first time in this exclusive 6-disc collector's edition. From the arrival of Agent John Doggett in "Within" and Mulder's miraculous resurrection in "Deadalive" to the birth od Scully's baby in "Existence," these Season Eight episodes are a must of every X-Files fan!
Amazon.com:
The eighth season of The X-Files will always be remembered as the year of brave decisions. David Duchovny's increasing dissatisfaction with the role meant he'd only appear in a few episodes. The solution? Enter Agent John Doggett (Robert Patrick) who basically stole the show within his first two minutes of screen time (and watch out for several Terminator 2 in-jokes too!). Scully (Gillian Anderson) switched roles to being the believer alongside Doggett's skeptic in a year that was more reliant on the background story arc than ever before. Her pregnancy remained at the foreground, while a more prominent Skinner (Mitch Pileggi) joined in a hunt for the abducted Mulder that drew upon the black oil, cloning, and bounty-hunting aspects of the convoluted alien conspiracy story. A distinct lack of guest stars or writers indicated maturity beyond the need for ratings stunts: dedicated fans were pleased to see sinister Krycek, the reliable Lone Gunmen, and the return of the show's very first abductee. The real strengths of the season came from new characters, including alternative female role model Special Agent Monica Reyes (Annabeth Gish), and some terrific standalone episodes. Investigations covered a man going backward in time, deaths aboard an oil rig, a contagion in the Boston subway tunnels, and creatures resembling bats and slugs. Agent Leyla Harrison (named after an X-Files fan who died of cancer) got to ask all the petty questions regular viewers want to know themselves. With season 9 promised to be the last, this year was a remarkable achievement so late in a show's life. --Paul Tonks

In the previous (seventh) season of the X-Files, the Mulder-Scully romantic relationship was cultivated by the writers/producers more than ever before. Thus, as the eighth season dawned without Mulder (David Duchovny signed a limited contract with the show), the tension between Scully and new agent John Doggett (a "by-the-book" skeptic) is wonderful. Let's quickly look at how that tension played into this season's episodes:

This was one of my favorite seasons. I found the character of John Doggett to breathe new life into the show. Frankly after seven seasons I felt the show was beginning to lose a little steam, and found the new direction a great idea. Lastly I thought the season finale was terrific and a superior ending to the actual ending in season nine. My reviews not that in-depth but I just want to caution any of you against avoiding this season because of "the new guy", he's terrific and the tensions between ... Read More

I never got the chance to see the X Files when it aired originally. I tuned into it when it first aired in syndication on TNT around the 4th season and didn't think too much of it at first due to the silly stand alone episodes. I began watching it again a few months later and got caught up in it. Subsequently I ended up buying every season and paying top dollar for each. I was rather dismayed when the entire collection dropped dramatically in price a little more than 6 months later. That said, I don't ... Read More

The controversial eighth season of the X Files is remarkable in many ways. First of all, it's the only season in the series that doesn't have any real clunkers. But it also has a lot of merely solid episodes, ones that harken back to the earlier, more straight-forward sci-fi/horror stories. But on the other hand, it has some of the all time greatest episodes in the entire history of the program.
What distinguishes season 8 from other X Files seasons, besides the presence of new male lead Robert ... Read More

It was a simple choice, I had to finish my collection of the X-Files with the last 2 seasons and the prices on Amazon were the best by far.
