Advantages: great value, disc devoted to extras, quality show
Disadvantages: not the best series of the show, packaging annoying for some

These episodes are great as are other episodes such as E.B.E, Lazurus and the Season Finale. However in the series there are some poor episodes such as Space and The Jersey Devil which I personally did not enjoy although my mate enjoyed the later one, so really its a matter of opinion! *The Extras* 11 minute documentary on Season 1, is very interesting, if a little short. Chris Carter talks about 12 of his fav episodes from the series. 11 ads from the Fox TV channel (crap!) more tv ads (more crap!) DVD-ROM game (quality!) Deleted scenes from Pilot Special Effect Clip from Fallen Angel. *Repackaged Repriced* This boxset is the new release of the X... Read review
