That episode with the invisible elephant and animals was pretty good albiet different. The intro with the elephant on the street was cool... was it real? Looked like it when they had a Semi speeding head on into it.
Heat, I got them all when BB has a sale for all fox shows for $20, plus I used a $10 off any fox show coupon. Making them alll $10
Naturally as soon as I bought them all they announced the series box.

I'm watching my seasons again. I think I'm on Season 4, I just finished watching Memento Mori (or whatever it's called). The episode where Scully
I paid more for my XFiles Seasons than any other DVDs I own. Most were over $100 when they came out and I didn't know all the Internet spots back then. But it was money well spent. I've gotten a lot of mileage from S1-6. I may pick up S7 someday. There were a few good eps from that year.

This seems as good a place as any to ask: Who is Krychek and what's he like?
You can answer in spoilers if it gives too much away, for the OP or other DVD viewers.
This morning is the 2nd or 3rd time I've heard other characters on other shows being referred to as a Krychek-type character, so I'm wondering what is meant.

Bought them from that sale, and seeing this thread today caused me to finally pop it in (as well as a new years resolution to get through my back catalog). On episode 2 right now.

Don't listen to them. Really. Yes the latter seasons weren't as good as the earlier ones, but they were still better than most shows on television. Watch until the end and then form you're own opinion.

He was a glorified Mercenary, Thats why we call him what we do, also that became his moniker, because Mulder called him that I believe. Or some variation of it.

I agree, I actually thought season 8 was better than season 7. Sure the Mythology episodes were beyond idiotic by now, but the 'monsters of the week' episodes, especially in season 8, were pretty good. It was also nice to see Scully as the believer and doggett as the debunker.

Tracer Bullet, I respect your opinion. I understand that people will either love it or hate it. As for me, I loved the entire series as a whole, I don't think there was any part of it that actually ruined the show for me. Yes the mythology was dragged on and on and on, but I still enjoyed the ride. I'm very glad though that the new movie won't have a plot that has anything do do with the mythology.
