This was the first ever season that I bought on DVD over 2 years ago. It probably isn't in my top 3 favourite seasons but it is still up there. It has some of my all time favourite X-Files episodes such as Bad Blood, Redux I and II, The Post Modern Prometheus and Detour.
Another noteworthy episode is the Christmas Carol, Emily double, although, I have become less of a fan of the storyline over the years. __________________

This is the only season I have on DVD as well. I *loved* PMP -- especially the dance at the end
I thought the stand alones were very good as well as the mytharc eps. This was the last season before things in the mytharc really started to unravel and it became clear that no one really knew "the truth." |

This is the season (along with season 4) that I thought David looked the hottest.
Redux II was a fabulous episode, as much for Gillian's acting as for gut wrenching scenes between Mulder and Scully. Detour was your good flirty stand-alone episode. How much did we wish that it would rain sleeping bags... Am I the only one who didn't think much of the Emily arc though? Don't get me wrong, she was a sweet little girl but what else did it bring to the character of Scully other than more misery and heartbreak? As for PMP, I know someone who knows someone who knows someone from Vancouver who played in that episode! I know it's a little far-fetched but hey, it's a start, isn't it? I think that in retrospective, season five had its ups and downs, the ups being Mind's Eye (I love Lily Taylor, she's one of my favorite actresses), The Pine Bluff Variant, Folie A Deux and The End (you just gotta love Gibson Praise ). On the other hand, I was disappointed by Kitsunegari: I mean, what are the odds that Modell's sister would have the same brain tumor that would enable her to push people? Very slim in the real world and that plot twist was lame. |

I can't remember clearly, but I thought I read somewhere that the writers originally wrote the Christmas Carol without the storyline of Scully as the mother. It was just going to be another case that Mulder and Scully were going to investigate but they changed it later on. __________________

That would be right. For all the brilliant writing on The X-Files there are still quite a few WTF? moments, where I don't get where they are coming from.

Wow, I look at the ep list, and I need to go back and watch some of these again!
Redux II--I can't reall add more than what's been said. What an ep! Bad Blood--I have probably watched that episode more than any other one. I love it! The thing that sticks out though, is that I actually used "Mind's Eye" in a class on Sensation and Perception in college. Got to love brining the X-files to class with you! __________________

I know, I can never tire of watching Bad Blood. It never fails to amuse. Vince Gilligan is a genious
Gillian has the best facial expressions during this episode. __________________

I love Bad Blood, definitely my favourite 'comedy' episode.
Patient X and The Red and the Black were two of my favourites, for some reason I really liked creepy non-believer Mulder. |
