Editorial Review:
Now you can own the entire seventh season of THE X-FILES™. ALL 22 classic episodes from David Duchovny's last full season as Agent Fox Muler are available for the first time in this exclusive 6-disc collector's edition. From Scully discovering the alien spacecraft in "The Sixth Extinction" and Mulder finally learning the truth about his sister in "Closure," to Mulder's own disappearance and Scully's miraculous pregnancy in "Requiem," these Season Seven episodes are a must for every X-Files fan!
Description of The X-Files - The Complete Seventh Season:
With the original conspiracy plot arc having fallen into a muddle of loose ends, once-hungry lead actors on the verge of big-screen careers and making demands for more time off or shots at writing and directing, and the initial wish list of monsters-of-the-week long exhausted, it's a miracle that by its seventh season The X-Files was still making its airdates, let alone managing something pretty good every other show and something outstanding at least once every four episodes. The season opens with a dreary two-parter ("Sixth Extinction" and "Amor Fati") and winds up with the traditional incomprehensible cliffhanger ("Requiem"), but along the way includes a clutch of episodes that may not match the originality of earlier seasons but still effortlessly equal any other fantasy-horror sci-fi on television.
The highlights: "Hungry," a brain-eating mutant story told from the point of view of a monster who tries to control his appetite by going to eating disorder self-help groups; "The Goldberg Variation," a crime comedy about a weasely little man who has the gift of incredible good luck, which means Wile E. Coyote-style doom for anyone who crosses him; "The Amazing Maleeni," guest-starring Ricky Jay in a rare nonfantastic crime story about a feud between stage magicians that turns out to be a cover for a heist; "X-Cops," a brilliant skit on the TV docusoap Cops with Mulder and Scully caught on camera as they track an apparent werewolf in Los Angeles (season-best acting from David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson); "Theef," a complex revenge drama with gaunt Billy Drago as a hillbilly medicine man stalking a slick doctor; "Brand X," a horror-comic tale of corruption in the tobacco industry; "Hollywood AD" (written and directed by Duchovny), in which Tea Leoni (Duchovny's wife) and Garry Shandling are cast as Scully and Mulder in a crass movie version of a real-life X-file; and "Je Souhaite," a deadpan comedy about a wry, cynical genie at the mercy of trailer-trash masters who haven't an idea what to wish for. --Kim Newman
The X-Files - The Complete Seventh Season Reviews:
Good 
2009-07-31 - This item was bought at a great price. I always shop amazon before i look anywhere else on line. 99% of the time amazon has it. However the only problem i had this time was the box was all beat up and bent. This wasn't due to shipping because the box it came in was fine. All in all great product.
Sadly, a disappointing season 
2009-05-11 - I love X-Files, but truly season 7 is the weakest so far, have no idea if it gets any worse in later seasons. There are several reasons why I just couldn't enjoy it as much as previous seasons.
With the destruction of the Syndicate and all previous mytharcs dropped, the new arc started in the last episode of season 6 just didn't play out well in first 2 episodes of season 7. This story line has gotten so much out of control and became so "philosophical," I simply couldn't understand what was going on. Same goes for "The Closure" episode which was supposed to finally end the mystery of Samantha Mulder's disappearance. It certainly didn't give me much closure except for confirming Samantha was in fact dead. What was "En Ami" about anyway? I liked last episode of the season, some brilliance from past seasons came back, but I felt that story deserved more screen time. Considering that this episode was meant to be the last of the show, it sure was a cliffhanger.
The handling of the relationship between Scully and Mulder was really irritating. I don't mind the idea of a platonic relationship between these two, but why then inject the unnecessary teasers and allude to their being intimate without actually confirming it? There is only so much teasing I can take. Also, why was Scully so depressed most of this season? She was so sad majority of the time, I just wanted to quit.
Finally, there were not that many truly good episodes that we came to love. Too many episodes had emotional and philosophical instead of regular investigative content. It doesn't mean I hated this season, but it definitely was way below the par.

The Last True Season of The X-Files
2008-09-03 - Technically, the show went on to season 9, but every fan knows the X-Files of old only made it to season 7. Bouncing back from the heavilly comedic season 6, S7 is perhaps the most self-aware and somber of the series. Here, Mulder and Scully have basically conquered the alien conspiracy and defeated their primary enemy. So what's left? Self exploration is the tone of this season, Mulder looks inward to find what really happened to his sister, and the answer is quite inspiring (if a bit too in tune with new age sentimentality). Scully looks back and forward as she see's her life with Mulder and where that might eventually take her. Even the so-called Cigarette Smoking Man has a crisis of faith as he considers what legacy he leave's behind after he dies. So in truth, this season is about tieing up lose character ends, not story points. The aliens are defeated, now The X-Files looks into itself for introspective stories.
