Customer Review: Heartbreaking, cowardly, traitorous, and completely myopic….
The last two seasons of The X-Files are nothing short of heartbreaking, cowardly, traitorous, and completely myopic in my opinion, and I’m quite sure in the opinions of many others who were loyal fans of this series for 9 long years. In an attempt to make an extra buck, Chris Carter and his corporate goonba accomplices sacrificed content and continuity for series longevity, and in the end succeeded in tarnishing a one-of-a-kind program.
I would love to know what kind of rationale was in play when those in charge decided to kill off some of the most important characters, thereby severing story lines, plots, and important character interdependencies that had been cultivated from the beginning. The Lone Gunmen, C.G.B. Spender (Cigarette Smoking Man), Krycek, and The Syndicate (to name a few) formed an impossible-to-replace group of characters, and I lost all respect for the show when these characters were eliminated and nothing of substance was created to take their place.
Carter should have called it quits when Duchovny left, but no. What we have instead are two additional seasons that are total monstrosities and an insult to viewers who placed emotional stock in this show and its characters. Carter obviously had zero loyalty to the program’s fans, otherwise he would never have made such a callous decision to ruin this show’s legacy by tampering so radically with the storyline. What was left after the deed was done? Absolutely nothing.
The series finale was perhaps the biggest disappointment in programming history. From the very first episode, the series revolved around an extraterrestrial storyline, and what did we get at the end and in return for all of our years of loyal viewing? We get Mulder and Scully sitting in a hotel room, reminiscing about old times, not knowing where to go or what to do next. And to top it all off, Carter always promised he would never entangle Mulder and Scully in any type of sexual intrigue, and what did he do during the last two seasons? You guessed it.
It’s been a long time since this series went off the air, but the greed and selfishness surrounding the production of the last two seasons, and in particular the last season, still resonates because this series did mean alot to so many people, myself included. Chris Carter is set for life, but he has lost my respect. He and his retinue’s opportunism makes me sick….
Customer Review: MISREPRESENTED LISTING
This Amazon-exclusive bundle contains all 9 seasons in the original, collectible boxed set format. This is untrue. This briefcase edition does not contain the thick first release box sets. What it does contain is a booklet with vinyl pages that hold all the discs. Amazon`s listing pictures the boxed sets which is very misleading. If you want the first released thick boxed sets don`t buy this item. Also this item is not exclusively available through Amazon. It has been released outside of the U.S. and contains foreign language not English on the packaging. I hope this posting prevents other buyers from such frustration of receiving something different than what is described.
