OVERALL OPINION
Throughout all seasons, Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny are on top form, as is Annabeth Gish and Robert Patrick, when they are finally introduced as recurring characters in season 8 and season 9 for Gish.

This boxset will provide hours and hours of entertainment as you travel through a world full of extra-terrestrials and unexplained phenomena- where the truth really is still out there

Sorry, but I'm with Bollinger on this. There's a lot of lists of what is on each disc, but not a lot more than that.

just.bcoz 11.04.2008 15:57

Hi I re-rated to Helpful for you! I think your review qould be more useful if you write a bit about the acting, characters, special effects, sound effects, make-up etc, rather than listing the episodes. You should cut out the episode list section and just pick out a few of your favourite episodes and write a little about them describing what you like/dislike about them etc. if you add more to your review at some point let me know and ill rerate for you :O)X

Bollinger28 11.04.2008 10:20

Sorry but other than a huge list of every single episode in this boxset (which can be found on any number of websites) I can't see much of an update to this. Rather than just listing every single episode, I'd rather read more about what you thought of this programme. In Ciao reviews the personal insight goes a very long way to making a review more helpful! Lexy
