Season
six of The X-Files charts the events after the theatrically
released movie and contains some great episodes including
the very funny The Rain King and Arcadia, to
the experimental How The Ghosts Stole Christmas and
Triangle.
The
problems with trying to tie this season in with both the movie
and the plot development which were left up in the air at
the conclusion of season
five
are obvious and the first episode in this collection tries
to address that before merrily moving on with new plot developments.
About half way through this season there is a notable shift
back to earlier episodes with more shows dedicated to paranormal
activities and spooky goings on - events that are investigated
in one episode and never mentioned again.
This
series also includes arguably the best Lone Gunmen episode
(Three of a Kind), asks whether mankind originally
came from Mars and further investigates the black oil phenomenon.
This
collection contains the usual bunch of extras including The
Truth About Season Six documentary, a behind the scenes
featurette, deleted scenes with optional commentary by Frank
Spotnitz and special effects sequences with commentary by
Paul Rabwin. There is also a character profile on the Cigarette
Smoking Man; 44 promotional television spots and a DVD-ROM
game based on Dreamland.
Not
the finest season to date, but certainly one worth taking
a look at.
