...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 ...

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!

X-file will be one of the best and original shows. Set comes with all of the season 3 episodes with extras for each episode. After a decade since I've last watch the show on TV...it is still an addicting series.

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%.

The X-Files will go down as one of the most important television shows in history. There are many reasons for this sucsess. One is because of the pivitol relationship between Mulder and Scully, another reason is because of its brillant plot, and the final reason is the wondrous writing.
Fox Mulder and Dana Scully are probably the most famous twosome not to be in an intimate relationship. Although they would develop that kind of a relationship in future seasons, for right know they are just "friends". David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson deserved Emmys for this season (they didn't even get a nomination!) Scully and Mulder had very different mindsets. Scully always believed there was a scientific way of explaining everything, while Mulder believed that there was a connection to the supernatural or extra-terrestrial life. This was very important to the way the show works. Science Vs. Faith was probably the most important theme to the series as a whole. One of the most interesting things about the show is its powerful plot.
Plot is very important to the X-Files. There was a main plotline going through the whole season that dealt with Deep Throat, an imformant who is shrouded in mystery, and the cases he gave Mulder to investigate. Most of the standout episodes were related to this plotline. Be prepared for a twist in the final episode, The Erlenmeyer Flask, resolving a little bit of this appealing plotline. The other plots would usually revolve around one episode, with Mulder and Scully investigating a mysterious occurance that would be partially resolved by the end of the episode. The writng for this show is some of the finest ever written.
Writing is an important component to what makes the X Files better then average. This show has some exemplory writers, including the magical Glen Morgan and James Wong, who always pair up to write episodes. Chris Carter, the show's creator, also writes some vivacious episodes, including my personal favorite, "Darkness Falls", in which Mulder and Scully investigate the disapperance of severel loggers. The writing makes the show faster then an ostrich. The X Files is one of the truly great television shows.
The X Files was not a huge sucsess when it was first on the air. However, it soon became a worldwide phenomennon. The reasons for this is its excellent cast, its superb plots, and its marvolous writing. As you can see, the X Files had a amazing first season. The question is, can the X Files have an even better second season?
