Contains perhaps the best stand-alone episodes of the show; also features the beginnings of the show's fascinating mythology.
The X-Files - The Complete Fourth SeasonThe X-Files - The Complete Fourth Season
Buy used from: $14.66
A few sub-par stand-alones, but the mythology is still solid and very engrossing.
The X-Files - The Complete Fifth SeasonThe X-Files - The Complete Fifth Season
Buy used from: $15.89
The "Mulder as skeptic" twist is fascinating, but the mythology begins to get confusing and quite "heavy".
The X-Files - The Complete Seventh SeasonThe X-Files - The Complete Seventh Season
Buy used from: $16.02
A discouraging number of sub-par stand-alone episodes, but also some incredibly emotional episodes that deal with the core show issues.
The X-Files - The Complete First SeasonThe X-Files - The Complete First Season
Buy used from: $10.94
Some great spooky episodes, but no mythology established in this season.
The X-Files - The Complete Eighth SeasonThe X-Files - The Complete Eighth Season
Buy used from: $23.54
The search for Mulder is compelling, but the loss of Mulder as a character is a huge blow to the show.
The X-Files - The Complete Ninth SeasonThe X-Files - The Complete Ninth Season
Buy used from: $15.97
Doggett/Reyes is not as compelling as Mulder/Scully, while the mythology lack's Mulder's passion.
