The midpoint of what would be a nine-season show, the fifth season of The X-Files (the first to be put on DVD in anamorphic widescreen format) gives fans a heavy heaping of what they love. For the mythology buffs, riveting episodes from the season bookends 'Redux' and 'The End' to several episodes in between tease with new revelations about the vast government conspiracies and alien invasion plot lines sketched in earlier seasons. But enough questions are left unanswered for the theatrical X-Files movie, which was released the subsequent summer, and the seasons that followed. Supporting characters like the Lone Gunmen, Agent Krycek, the Pusher Robert Modell, and Fox's father and sister Bill and Samantha Mulder are flushed out in more detail in several episodes that occasionally jump back in time to cover the prehistory of the X-files. New chess pieces are introduced, each raising new questions: the clairvoyant child Gibson Praise, Agent Spender, faceless alien resistance fighters with pyromaniacal tendencies, a child who may be Scully's, and Mulder's old flame, agent Diana Fowley (Mimi Rogers). All the time, no one knows who will be assassinated next, who is or isn't dead, just who isn't potentially a child of the Cigarette Smoking Man, and why the base of the neck is everyone's vulnerable spot. The creature feature stand-alone episodes vary in quality, but all are redeemed by the outrageously funny self-parody episode 'Bad Blood,' a fan favorite that guest stars Luke Wilson as a small-town sheriff who catches Scully's eye.
Finally, 'shippers' (fans who would love nothing better than to see Mulder and Scully act upon their feelings for each other) get a heavy dose of the usual sexual innuendo and lingering, tender glances between the attractive costars. Mimi Rogers and Luke Wilson incite palpable jealousy between the leads; the appearance of a wedding band on Mulder's hand in a back story hints at stories not told; and the usual extreme and dimly lit crises illustrate just how far Mulder and Scully will go for each other. In the end, the complexities of their relationship may be the most tense and intriguing of all the mysteries explored by this epic television series. --Eugene Wei

Disc 5 will not LOAD/PLAY.Long story made short:I'm stuck with it, and only recourse is to deal with the manufacturer, for which I can't find any direct contact info.

Rating:  - The Bedrock Is Shaken
During the previous four seasons of The X-Files, a similar theme was followed in all of the show's "mythology" (or over-arching) episodes: Agent Mulder is the unshakeable believer in aliens, while Agent Scully is the staunch skeptic.In this Fifth Season, that formula is thrown out the window.Let's quickly examine the three types of X-Files episodes in order to see where the show deviates from that traditional pattern:

Rating: - An Intimate Season. "Travelers ?"
I think season 4 was a shade better because, it had 24 episodes to this seasons 20. But they were busy making the movie, which was somewhat disappointing when compared to the series. Like season 4, this one was a roller coaster ride. It had emotional angst, humor, suspense, special effects, action, & some unexpected surprises. The relationship between Scully & Mulder is what stood out the most, there was more depth which gave them even more chemistry.
This is the first season to ... Read More

I sent this DVD set to my daughter as a gift.She is an X-Files fan and enjoys the show very much.
Rating:  - Pretty Good!!!
I like the xfiles and my wife really likes them! the dvd arrived on time and the packaging is pretty cool as it doesnt take up too much room in my growing dvd collection. the season is broken up pretty good and there are some decent special features. all in all a great buy at 25.99 which is what i paid for it when it was on sale.
