Of all the X Files episode guides, I think this has more meat--good information, not a big book o' pictures--than many on the market. It is also affordable, and provides complete synopsis right through mid 4th season.

This book is a must for all shippers! (You know who you are!) The episodes with shippy (is that even a word?) scenes are marked with a Phwoar! Although I have never heard that word used before, it has become my favorite!

Phwoar! I cracked up through most of this, and I learned quite a bit about the series. The authors are opinionated, to be sure, but that's not always bad. A new way of looking at the old obsession.

This is an excellent way to keep track of the episodes. I love the "Phwoar" section. I never skip over "The Bottom Line" section. It helps viewers understand each episode, in all its glory. Adds a laugh, too.

I really like the trivia and continuity sections for putting the episodes of the x-files in order in my head. I often skipped the Bottom Line section, because the authors lost me there. And I would dearly love to know the meaning and other uses of the expression "phwoar!"

Of all the X-Files books I've cruised throughso far (seems like there's a new one every week),this little episode guide is by far the most fun. It covers all episodes up through "Terma", and has credits, summary, best dialog, trivia, Scully's explanation and Phwoar! bits, done in that wry British style you either love or loathe. I love it. This is the book I'll turn to when I want to check on who said what when.

I gave it a 9 only because it has no pictures
