I wish I could give it more stars!, June 18, 2000
This review is from: The X-Files - Small Potatoes/Gethsemane [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I have never watched the x-files, until now. These two episodes are just great, the second episode had a ending that really suprised me. but I wont say more, becuase i don't want to spoil it, but trust me, if your a x-files fan, or a new fan like me, you'll love it.

Come To The ("X-Files") Lite Side!, June 17, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The X-Files - Small Potatoes/Gethsemane [VHS] (VHS Tape)
We "X-Philes" have a few categories for all episodes: X-Files Lite, Stand-Alones, and Mythology episodes. This tape has one stand-alone X-Files lite episode ("Small Potatoes") and one mythology episode ("Gethsemane") from the show's heyday. It's perfect for all Philes and people who have always been curious about the show but haven't yet indulged themselves by watching a whole episode. "Gethsemane" is a little dense for new viewers, but "Small Potatoes" is the real star of this video. The story (without giving anything away) focuses on a small West Virginia town that's been having an unusual spate of obstetric abnormalities. It's got a classic paranormal X-File storyline (and funny references to "Star Wars"), yet displays both Gillian Anderson's, and especially David Duchovny's, incredible ability to switch between drama and dry wit at the drop of a hat. There's also that UST ("unresolved sexual tension") between Mulder and Scully that has become a hallmark of the series. The last two scenes, in particular, will have you ROTFL... ("rolling on the floor laughing") The show has always had a real knack for using guest actors who are real ACTORS as opposed to just stars, and the supporting cast in "Small Potatoes" is a prime example of the series' effective use of guest actors to highlight Anderson's and Duchovny's talents. The only bad thing I can say about this episode is that, if you're from West Virginia, you may not appreciate the stereotypical references to the residents' "pedigrees." All in all, however, "The X-Files" is definitely NOT small potatoes. It's definitely one of the best series in television history. Give it a try; you'll be glad you did!

Agent Mulder kissed Agent Scully. Agent Mulder is dead., June 21, 2000
This review is from: The X-Files - Small Potatoes/Gethsemane [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Small potatoes is the funniest episode I've never seen in the X-Files. David plays two roles in this episode, one is Agent Mulder and the other is Eddie who can change his face to become other people. When Eddie becomes Agent Mulder (played by David), he tries to lure Agent Scully. When they are going to kiss, real Mulder breaks in and ..... You can see many cute fake-Mulder scenes played by David. Very cute. What a pity I cannot show you a picture here. Gethsemane is the last episode in Season Four which leaves a BIG shock to all fans. AGENT MULDER COMMITTED SUICIDE. This episode is the first part of the three episodes. (Redux I & II in Season Five). This episode is a little gloomy, but it explains why Agent Scully has cancer, why Agent committed suicide (it's not true if you see the first two episodes in Saeson Five), all the conspiracies and lies, etc. Go get the two episodes NOW. I've seen the two episodes for more than ten times. Now you know how they are "ATTRACTIVE".
