The X-Files - The Complete Ninth Season (Slim Set) Reviews:
Hi 
2009-12-24 - For all X file freaks its always great to see weird good TV.
Better than all that survival and reality garbage,
Barry
Not very good...and not because of a lack of Mulder. 
2009-11-19 - *spoilers*
Season nine was lame because the episodes and overall story were lame. Sure, I would have liked to see Mulder, but I was satisfied enough with Dogget and Reyes.
I found the overall story to be annoying. Someone dies, but no, he's not dead. He then dies again, but no wait, he's not dead. After a while, I stopped caring whenever someone died or ended up in a coma. However, this wasn't limited to just season 9.
The only thing I really cared about was when the Lone Gunman died. Those were probably the only deaths in the series that bummed me out. And that's only because we saw their funeral and knew they weren't coming back. Had we not seen the funeral, I wouldn't have cared since I would have expected them to miraculously come back to life somehow.
I didn't like the story of Scully's miracle baby, Mulder's disappearance (though I'm sure the series could have survived without him...though maybe with not such a huge following), the super soldiers, and the alien bounty hunters. This isn't the X-Files from the early days that I came to like. I realize there were probably good reasons for changing the scope of the series, but that doesn't mean I have to like it.
I really liked the early seasons where they were regular FBI agents who investigated the unknown. I must admit, I felt the series needed an overall story. Well, I got what I wanted and was very unsatisfied. I still think the overall story would have worked, had they done things differently. I liked the recent movie "I want to Believe", but I really don't think it fixed any of the problems from season 9. If there's a future movie, I hope they make it more like "Fight the Future" and attempt to give season 9 some closure. For example, whatever happened to agents Dogget and Reyes? That's going to take some serious effort, but that's why these people make millions, right?
Season 9 is definitely worth watching if you are a big X-Files fan. However, if you are trying to cut back on TV time or aren't a big fan, don't bother watching. If you didn't like season 8, you'll probably like this one less.
One more thing, Amazon didn't send me the "Slim set" for seasons 8 or 9. If you are looking for the Slim set to match the rest of the series, you may want to ensure they have them in stock before you order.
The series could have gone on
2009-09-14 - Originally with season 8 it was tough to accept the Dogget character because we had a guy like Mulder who was cerebral and Dogget was too much old school cop. But... as time went on Dogget realized he was not just a FBI agent but an X-files FBI agent. He and Reyes won me over. They were a team and not better than Mulder and Sculley but great in their own right. There is no doubt the series could have gone another year but the traditional X-files fans apaprently did not truly accept the NEW TEAM, and maybe the series had gone on too long. All I know is I was addicted to the X-files for many reasons. I never really had the time to sit down on Sundays and watch the show every week but when I did It was great. I liked the X-files because each episode was like a mini movie, not a weekly series. I hope they make another movie and Patrick and Gish are in in this time. They should have been in the last one. If you really understand the X-files then you know that the episodes just didn't follow in lock step, there was always a side track-like the last movie, then they would get back in line with the E.T stuff. This last series was a lot better than I ever expected.
X- Files Season 9
2009-07-19 - All like that serie,I want to buy more from this series, for completing my all 9 Season.
X-Files Season Nine 
2009-04-19 - Last of the X-Files series. I was sorry to see the series end. This season was not really up to par for X-Files. The last episodes came on like gang busters but falls flat on it's back in the last scene of the final show, with Mulder saying, " I guess there's still hope", as he lays in a motel room bed with Scully. This was the best that the writters and producers could come up with to end nine years of Excellent story telling???? I would still recommend this season as it does have some good stories and great interaction between Scully, Doggett, AD Skinner and Agent Reyes.
