FX: Behind the Truth: (SD 12:37) A very basic EPK style bit of behind the scenes look at the different materials that were created for the series' rerun turn on the FX network. WonderCon Panel: (SD 26:48) This is a pretty good panel look at the show as well as the second movie which was just about to premier when this discussion happened.

Nothing Important Happened Today II' International Clips: (SD) Clips are in German, Italian, and Japanese. While the "monster-of-the-week" episodes were still the highlights of the show, this is the season where it felt like the mythology episodes started to carry a lot more weight and importance.Deleted Scene with Optional Commentary by Frank Spotnitz and John Shiban: (SD 1:14) It's such a short scene it's hard to get a sense of both men's thoughts. Documentary: The Truth About Season 1: (SD 11:05) A nice piece of behind the scenes content, brief, but thankfully not just the basics, covers a lot of the production and season relative information. Documentary: The Truth About Season 2: (SD 14:32) Similar to the Season 1 version, cast and crew interviews and look at particular episodes. Ep 2 'The Host' and Ep 5 'Duane Barry' and Ep 6 'Ascension' - 'The Host' stands as my second favorite "monster-of-the-week" episode while 'Duane Barry and Ascension prove just how big and important the mythology episodes can get with the abduction of Scully! Ep 6' Redrum' and Ep 12 'Medusa' - These two episodes, in my opinion, show that the show still had a lot of creative juice in the tank at this point, but didn't know how to focus it. As the mythology episodes became more and more redundant, the "monsters" became the real highlight and reason to keep tuning in.

Ice' International Clips: (SD) A collection of clips of different scenes in Japanese, Spanish, and Italian So yes, the X-Files box set does certainly look like something that every self-respecting fan will want to have on their shelf.

Vienen' Audio Commentary: Episode Director Ron Hardy provides the commentary for this rather decent episode. Pilot International Clips: These are a collection of various scenes from the first episode that were dubbed in German, Japanese, Spanish, and Italian. This first season has a couple of clunky episodes in there, but that's to be expected with any series. It's a show that is still finding its legs, but through it all the show delivered hours of great entertainment. All Things' Audio Commentary: Gillian Anderson gives the commentary for this episode, It's cool to hear her thoughts as an actress as well as a writer and director of this episode.

Ep 2 'Drive' and Ep 20 'Three of a Kind' -'Drive' features guest Bryon Cranston in a hell of an intense episode while 'Three of a Kind' offers up some more Lone Gunmen fun with a follow-up to S05Ep3 'Unusual Suspects.'

The show was still pretty good, but the stretching and altering mythology episodes started to wear thin. Thankfully the "monsters" episodes were pretty great and made this season worth watching. Through all of the highs and lows of the series, there was a constant that made the show worth tuning into - the relationship between Mulder and Scully and their real life counterparts David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson. While the pair absolutely had on-screen chemistry, it wasn't ever forced into the realm of unnecessary romanticism or sexualized. The two viewed each other as equals and never once trivialized their respective genders. Both were strong-willed unique individuals with their own beliefs and biases, but they were also human and capable of irrational emotional outbursts - just like the rest of us. End Games' Audio Commentary: Frank Spotnitz provides the commentary for this one and proves to be an engaging and insightful contributor. This second season is much stronger, the mythology of government involvement in suppressing the evidence of extraterrestrials was coming together, the relationships of certain players were coming together, and the "monsters-of-the-week" were getting pretty intense. Without any hesitation, I will state upfront that 'The X-Files' looks damn beautiful with each 1.78:1 1080p transfer. Now, given how the first four seasons were presented in 1.33:1, a conversion to 1.78:1 may worry some people, but it really shouldn't. While some information is lost on the top and the bottom, the show always had a cinematic feel to it and if series cinematographer John Bartley is to believed, each episode was shot with a widescreen view in mind - so it could be argued that the reframing for the first four seasons has brought those episodes to their intended look. While this may rankle some folks who believe it should have been left alone - and I counted myself among that group until I saw these transfers - the series as a whole now maintains a complete uniform visual experience.When taking a look at 'The X-Files: The Collector's Set' it's easy to understand why this set wouldn't be for everyone - namely because of the show's slide in quality over the final three seasons. However, if you are a massive fan of the series, this set is an attractive and sturdy way to display one of the best shows to come to television. That said, if you're not game for every season, 20th Century Fox was wise enough to release each season individually: Deleted Scenes with Optional Commentary by Frank Spotnitz: (SD 13:30) This was the season where Frank started taking more creative control and it's interesting to hear his thoughts of the scenes and why they were cut. The Making of 'The Truth': (SD 1:07:45) This is a great look at what went into making the final episodes. Alternate Audio for 'Home' Teaser: This is actually pretty cool, it's clear they had to tone it down going into this episode.
