Description of The X-Files - The Complete Second Season:
While the first season of The X-Files introduced us to Scully and Mulder, the second season finds the show confidently hitting its stride. Building on its earlier success, the show evolves, and in these 25 episodes, a glimpse is shown of a longer-running story line (which will continue through subsequent seasons) that is woven into the usual stand-alone episodes of the paranormal. These so-called mythology episodes hint at a global conspiracy involving sinister government agents, UFOs, alien abductions, genetic engineering, the ever-lurking Cigarette Smoking Man, and Fox Mulder's father. Season 2 fleshes out Mulder's family history, including the childhood abduction of his sister Samantha, an event that would shape him for life. Actress Gillian Anderson (Scully) became unexpectedly pregnant during season 2, but series creator Chris Carter managed to dance nimbly around her absence and even integrate it into the show. As in season 1, Mulder and Scully are surrounded by a strong supporting cast, which adds a suspicious new agent named Alex Krycek, an informant named X, and a seemingly indestructible alien bounty hunter.
Among the standout episodes are "The Host," "Duane Barry/Ascension," "Humbug," "Dod Kalm," "Colony/End Game," and "Anasazi." These episodes are a powerful reminder that The X-Files, like no other show on television, can span horror, suspense, mystery, romance, drama, and comedy, sometimes all in the same episode, and always with the production values of a major feature film. --Eugene Wei
The X-Files - The Complete Second Season Reviews:
barbaraH 
2009-10-05 - My order came faster than expected and was in great condition. I would definitely order from this company again.
"Trust No One..."
2009-07-17 - The dying words of Deep Throat to Mulder and Scully at the end of Season 1. Season 2 picks up with the X-Files closed, Mulder and Scully are reassigned to different parts of FBI but that doesn't stop them from still poking their noses where they don't belong. With Deep Throat dead a new voice from the shadows emerges to guide Agent Mulder, Mr. X. Unlike Deep Throat Mr. X is utterly ruthless and has no problem sacrificing Mulder if he gets in the way of his own agenda. Assistant Director Skinner comes into his role more as he must decide to either help Mulder and Scully or continue to be a puppet for those above him. And the Smoking Man steps a little closer into the light to reveal more of his sinister plans and methods. The plot thickens and the conspiracy gets more complicated than thought possible.
Season 2 is one of the best because of its balance of mythology and Monster of the Week episodes. There are plenty stand alone episodes to start novices off on. Season 2 also ventured out from SciFi into plain horror with such episodes as Die Hand Die Verletzt, Fresh Bones and The Calusari which deals with the occult and demonic.
Season 2 will keep newcomers happy without a doubt and bring back good memories for X-Philes.
The Truth Is Out There... And So Are Lies...
Hooray X-Files
2009-07-08 - Okay, so I haven't actually seen the entire season yet, but I recently discovered this series (I never paid much attention to it when it was on tv) and I loved the first season. I just thought I'd write a review to let people know that it seems the missing episode problem has been resolved, at least if you buy it from Amazon. I just got the set today and popped in disc 6 to be sure it included the finale episode and it does. From looking at the disc it looks a bit different in format from the first 5 discs so I bet Amazon has replaced the discs with the missing episode with new ones. As long as you buy it directly from Amazon I doubt it will be missing the episode. I just wanted to let people know so they aren't afraid to buy this awesome series!!
Buy it!
2009-04-27 - 25 episodes of one of the best TV series ever. It had plenty of the on going plot episodes where you first start seeing what the motives are for the cover ups. I personally love the random episodes that have nothing to do with the main plot of the series just a little bit more and this season has a plenty them too, so It was perfic for me. I would of gladly paid full retail price(I bought it used for like $14 from an amazon seller)! If you find a deal, you have to BUY IT!
Missing episode woes? Here's the solution...
2009-03-25 - Yeah, yeah, great show. You should already know that...
For those of you upset about the accidental omission of the season finale "Anasazi" from the slim set version of X-Files: The "Complete" Second Season, head to following address, fill in the information and a Fox representative will e-mail you back requesting your mailing information and send you the missing disc at no additional charge.
