The X-Files: The Complete First Season, Discs 4-6 (Episodes 13-24)
Just finished Season 1 and I have to say, it holds up surprisingly well after 15 years. Unfortunately it looks like my X-Files-marathon plan was a bit too ambitious, considering how long it took me to re-watch the first 24 eps. That being said, it was a fun nostalgia trip that definitely got me in the mood for the new movie.
[07/26/08 Update] So I attended an opening-day screening of The X-Files: I Want to Believe. A fitting title, but unfortunately "wanting to believe" a movie will succeed doesn't guarantee success. I don't think this movie will do well financially or critically; it just felt stale, and uninteresting, and not even on par with run-of-the-mill episodes from the middle of the show's run on Fox. I'd give it 1 PB Jar at best, despite my fanboy love for the series and these characters. I wish Chris Carter would take one more crack at an X-Files feature film, perhaps bringing in the screenwriters and a director from the show's heyday, but I wouldn't put money on Mulder and Scully ever gracing the big screen again.
