X-Files DVD bleg

July 19th, 2005

So I saw X-Files set at Target the other day. I’ve always held off buying the full season DVDs of the series, they’re pretty expensive and there are just so many of them. I’m not sure they’re worth it in terms of both time and money.

But these new Mythology sets seem like a good idea. Watch just the episodes related to a story arc, skip all the unrelated creature-of-the-week episodes. I’d buy all the sets right now if I knew that they were comprehensive enough. Amazon reviews seem to say that yes, they are.

Has anyone watched one or all of these boxsets? Do they contain enough of the episodes to understand all the characters and to follow the arc to its conclusion? Or am I better off just renting every single episode from Netflix?

    Man, I really liked some of those creature of the week episodes. The mythology episodes were the most engrossing, but the regular episodes usually had funnier bits. I would actually like to buy all of the seasons, but the cost is just too high.

    Netflix seems like the safest bet.

    Hmm. Well, I already ordered the first Mythology set. Maybe I’ll supplement with Netflix so I can watch every episode of the first few seasons.
