OMG

I will never forgive them for the last few fizzled seasons.

Couldn't they have priced it at 123.45?

This is about $100 too much and about 10 years too late (and about 51 DVDs too many)

Netflix has really cured me of buying DVDs, especially series ones like that.

Well, I'm not as cool as y'all, and am hoping to get this for Xmas. (Emailed the link to my partner with a strong hint. ;) )

I ♥ the X-Files 4evar, but birdherder still made me laugh.

We've been watching them via Netflix. I hadn't seen much of the first season. It's really.... not very good. I think we got past the reeeeeeally bad episodes (fingers crossed), but my word were they bad.

occhiblu - 'Dude and I just finished the first season. There are some really bad episodes, but it does get better. I think the last few episodes of the season are pretty good.

Have you seen the one with Cecil the Firestarter? (not really a spoiler, as it's revealed in the first minute of the episode). That episode has no redeeming features.

There's an episode soon after with Brad Dourif that is actually really compelling. That could just be my strange man-crush on Brad Dourif, though.

We just watched the Brad Dourif one last night. I had nasty nasty nightmares all night. Stupid Brad Dourif.

Ikkyu2 now informs me that he was the voice of Chuckie. (I mean, that Brad Dourif was. Not ikkyu2.) Stupid Chuckie.

I didn't actually think the Cecil one was that bad, though it lacked anything resembling "plot" or "suspense." I thought the "OMG computers are PEOPLE!" episode a few back was much, much, much worse.
