The X-Files Season 1

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

The X-Files Revelations is a two-disc grab bag of eight significant episodes from Fox's iconic sci-fi/horror series starring David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson as FBI agents investigating the paranormal. From season 1, it includes the pilot and "Beyond the Sea," in which Brad Dourif plays a death-row inmate who claims to have psychic visions of a serial killer. In "The Host" (season 2), Mulder (Duchovny) and Scully (Anderson) pursue a human-sized fluke worm, and "Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose" (season 3) features an Emmy-winning Peter Boyle as a man who can see how people will die. "Memento Mori" (season 4) deals with an attempt to save one of the agents from a critical disease, Jerry Springer appears as himself in the black-and-white Frankenstein story "The Post-Modern Prometheus" (season 5), "Bad Blood" (also season 5) is a vampire story, and in "Milagro" (season 6), a writer turns to Scully as his subject as he also becomes a murder suspect.

Released just before the theatrical opening of the second X-Files movie, The X-Files Revelations bills itself as the "essential guide" to that movie. But really it's just a broad sampling of the kind of episodes the series had to offer, with one major omission. By concentrating on the stand-alone "creature feature" episodes, it almost completely ignores the entangling, absorbing, and often-baffling story lines about alien abduction and government conspiracy that the series was known for. Tellingly, only two of the episodes (the pilot and "Memento Mori") also appear in The X-Files Mythology compilation series, which attempted to condense nine seasons of conspiracy themes into 16 discs. The X-Files Revelations has a lot of entertaining episodes, especially "Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose," and creator Chris Carter and executive producer Frank Spotnitz have filmed new introductions explaining why they picked each episode. And fans will also be interested in a 27-minute WonderCon panel from February 2008 with Duchovny, Anderson, Carter, and Spotniz discussing the new movie. But novices shouldn't expect this two-disc set to teach them everything they need to know about The X-Files. --David Horiuchi

5.0 out of 5 stars An 8 episode introduction to the new movie, April 11, 2008
I haven't seen the extras on here yet, so how can I rate it? In part, because several of these 8 episodes are among my favorites of the series. Included are:

*Pilot (Mulder & Scully meet, his abducted sister story, Cancer Man, aliens & abductees)
*Beyond the Sea (killer on death row, and the death of Scully's father)
*The Host (the Flukeman in the sewer, first call from X)
*Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose (great episode with Peter Boyle as psychic insurance salesman with predictions about the deaths of Mulder & Scully)
*Memento Mori (great complicated sad episode involving the cancer of Scully and others and the folks trying to save them)
*Post-modern Prometheus (great, funny, surreal, touching all describe this B&W version of the Frankenstein story)
*Bad Blood (another funny one as Mulder & Scully give their competing versions of what happened in a Texas town of vampires)
*Milagro (Interesting if not completely successful exploration of writing, love, and loneliness with a Scully obsessed writer)

Each episode is introduced by creator Chris Carter and producer Frank Spotnitz, explaining why they were chosen and how they relate to the new upcoming X-Files movie. Also included are the trailer for that movie, and over 30 minutes of Carter, Spotnitz, Duchovny, and Anderson at a panel discussion which took place in February.

Finally, you get an $8.50 ticket to see the new movie, which effectively cuts the price of this in half. It might be hard to go wrong buying this, even if like me, you already own the complete series.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great compilation of some classic X-Files episodes, June 16, 2008
By N. Durham "Big Evil" (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
One thing that The X-Files was known for besides it's long winding alien conspiracy arc were the one-shot episodes that featured a "monster of the week" or something of that ilk. X-Files: Revelations compiles eight of these episodes, including the show's classic pilot episode that first introduced us to Mulder (David Duchovny) and Scully (Gillian Anderson). Also featured here is the classic "Beyond the Sea", with Scully coming face to face with an imprisoned killer (Brad Dourif) after the death of her father; "The Host" where Mulder comes face to face with a murderous sewer mutant; the humerous and touching masterpiece that is "Clyde Bruckman's Final Response" with Peter Boyle; the Frankenstein-esque "Post-Modern Prometheus"; and the hilarious "Bad Blood" that features a pre-fame Luke Wilson. Also featured here are "Milagro" and "Memento Mori"; which are two episodes I myself aren't as fond of compared to the rest featured here, but for the ultra-casual fan of the series, this compilation is a worthy pick-up to get you excited for the new, and long overdue, X-Files movie sequel. If you're a die hard fan and already own all nine seasons on DVD, there really isn't much reason to pick this up, but as said before, if you're only a casual fan of the series, this is worth getting.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, July 9, 2008
By Suzanne L. Feld "Wildwing" (Ferndale (Metro Detroit), MI) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have to say, I'm a bit disappointed in this set. The description
made it sound like these were the episodes to see to go along with the
movie, and the intros were about how the episodes related to the
movie. And that's not the case *at all*. The intros are simply CC &
FS talking about them like on a commentary with no mention of the
movie, and in the very last one CC mentions that these are the
episodes you should see before the movie *if you've never watched the
series*. Of course the last intro is the best simply because GA is
standing behind CC with her chin on his shoulder and plays peanut
gallery to everything he says, but there's no more info about the
movie. The preview is the one from WonderCon, and the series
"trailer" is the one used to sell the DVDs, both of which are all over
YouTube. I haven't watched the WonderCon panel yet, I think most of it
is up on YouTube so it's not that appealing.
And the movie pass is not good at AMC theaters, which of course is most of what we have around here.
