FOX are going to release a new boxset, based on the mythology from the first 3 seasons. Yes, there's an element of milking this series dry BUT there is some intriguing new material....

| X-Files, The - Conspiracy Contents Revealed Posted by Gord Lacey 3/10/2005 For nine seasons, fans of "The X Files" watched and waited for an ultimate explanation of the complex web of alien conspiracy theories, government cover-ups and shadow organizations woven by series creator Chris Carter. Now, for the first time, viewers can follow every twist and turn of the complete mythology story arc beginning with THE X FILES MYTHOLOGY: ABDUCTION. ABDUCTION consists of 16 episodes from seasons 1-3, and presents the government conspiracy episodes in order, beginning with the series pilot. The set also features commentary on selected episodes and part one of Chris Carter's all-new documentary "Threads Of Mythology," which explains the meaning of "The X Files" and how all lies lead to the truth. Fox has announced the contents of the X-Files Conspiracy set they previously announced for May 17. This 3 disc set will contain 16 episodes from the first three seasons which involve the aliens, and the government conspiracy. Disc 1: Pilot / Deep Throat / Fallen Angel / EBE. Disc 2: The Erlenmeyer Flask / Little Green Men / Duane Barry / Ascension. Disc 3: One Breath / Red Museum / Colony / End Game Disc 4: Anasazi / The Blessing Way / Paper Clip Extras Include: * Deep Throat commentary with Chris Carter * Little Green Men commentary with David Nutter * Duane Barry commentary with Chris Carter * End Game commentary with Frank Spotnitz * The Blessing Way commentary with Bob Goodwin * Thread of Mythology Part 1 The set will contain English, French and Spanish Dolby Surround tracks (with matching subtitles, and an Anamophic Widescreen (1.78:1) transfer. We expect this is an error in the listing on the Fox website, since these episodes were released in full frame (1.33:1) previously. The set will retail for $39.98 US, and $54.98 CAN. It appears Fox has plans to release at least one more "Conspiracy" set, since these episodes come from the first 3 seasons, and this set contains part 1 of a documentary. Artwork will be posted when it's available. |
Quite looking forward to this, especially the documentaries :)

Hi all I have just found this board after being a member of the BBC xfiles board for several years.
I have just brought my series 9 dvd from Smiths for £27.99.
I originally brought them on VHS many years ago and when the dvd's were released just before xmas I thought why not.
Has anyone got any news about the new film that is supposed to be planned??
See you around

Welcome to the boards James :)
There’s not been any news about if for a while now, last we heard I think Carter was still trying to get round to writing it, and that it definitely will be a standalone, but that was a long time ago :no:

Duchovny's recently been talking about the second movie again, it's still being written by CC and Frank Spotnitz.

Wow that cover has convinced me too!:*) I'm not acutaly much of a mythology-based fan so I wasn't too determined to get it at first, especially as I think there should be more episodes! I guess they're still to come though and atleast it means the packs are more affordable! :thumbsup:
That is a well decent price at Play CK! :drool: That place is genius! :lol: Thank you - I can't wait to start collecting my DVD sets soon! And they have free delivery on play BTW everyone!! :thumbsup: Found a place in London yesterday which is still selling Xfiles video boxsets at just £6 each - they have pretty much everything in stock apart from S1 from what i could tell - situated between the Dominion Theatre on Tottenham Court Road and erm a short way along charing cross road - I'm very bad at directions LOL, just know that they're still out there! ;)
Hmm.. how about a comedy pack! ;) :D
Love and hugs, JM :) :p :lol: xXx

Vol 2: Black Oil
| QUOTE |
| Studio: Fox Home Entertainme DVD Release Date: August 2, 2005 Run Time: 668 DVD Features: Available subtitles: English, Spanish Available Audio Tracks: English (Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround), Spanish (Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround), French (Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround) 15 episodes from seasons 3-5: Nisei, 731, Piper Maru, Apocrypha, Talitha Cumi, Herrenvolk, Tunguska, Terma, Memento Mori, Tempus Fugit, Max, Zero-Sum, Gethsemane, Redux, Redux II Commentary by director R.W. Goodwin on Talitha Cumi Commentary by director Rob Bowman on Memento Mori Commentary by director Kim Manners on Max Chris Carter's all-new "Threads of Mythology" documentary Mythology timeline Number of discs: 4 Black Oil, the second volume in the X-Files Mythology series, covers one of The X-Files' weirder concepts: the alien being that travels from host to host, occasionally revealing itself as it travels across a person's eyeballs. But the volume actually begins with a two-parter from season 3, "Nisei" and "731," in which FBI agents Mulder (David Duchovny) and Scully (Gillian Anderson) dig deeper into topics of post-World War II Japanese scientists conducting experiments on alien and human subjects, mass executions at a leprosy colony, Scully's own abduction experience and her sister's murder, and a possible alien-human hybrid being hidden aboard a railroad car. That's our way of saying that Black Oil will make little sense to the X-Files novice. In fact, because those first two episodes (as well as other, later episodes in the set, "Memento Mori," "Tempus Fugit" and "Max") deal more with abduction than with the black oil, they would have fit more appropriately in the first volume, titled Abduction. It appears, then, that The X-Files Mythology is not intended as a themed collection of episodes, but rather an inexpensive and smartly packaged attempt to capture the complete X-Files conspiracy/alien arc while bypassing the stand-alone "creature feature" episodes. As that arc makes for riveting watching and did give The X-Files its water-cooler reputation, the Mythology series is a good buy for new viewers or just for casual fans who want to pick up a bunch of great episodes with some new commentary tracks. The four-disc Black Oil set encompasses 15 episodes (starting late in season 3 and ending early in season 5, the period often considered the peak of the series). Notable episodes such as "Talitha Cumi," "Herrenvolk," "Tenguska," "Gethsemane," and "Redux" offered more about the alien bounty hunters, Mulder's family, Scully's affliction, the mysterious informant named X, and turncoat agent Krycek. Still, devoted fans should stick to the complete-season sets for memorable episodes that are excluded from this set, such as "Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose," "War of the Coprophages," "Hell Money," "Jose Chung's From Outer Space," "Home," "Musings of a Cigarette Smoking Man," and "Paper Hearts," to name a few. That's not even mentioning "Leonard Betts," the plot of which was technically outside the normal arc but contained a key dramatic revelation. New features are less generous than on volume 1, restricted to director commentaries on three episodes plus the next installment of creator Chris Carter's new "Threads of Mythology" documentary. --David Horiuchi Description The Mythology is Chris Carter's visionary story arc of "The X-Files" comprised of 60 episodes from all nine seasons of the show. Now you can follow every government conspiracy, alien abduction, and hidden truth right from the beginning. In Black Oil, even as Scully searches for the truth behind her abduction, an alien autopsy tape leads her and Mulder to a professed group of women abductees who all have chips identical to the one found in Scully's neck. Then, while investigating a series of deaths connected to a sunken World War II aircraft and a mysterious black oil, Mulder encounters Alex Krycek, who claims to have a digital tape documenting the existence of extraterrestrials. A second encounter with Krycek leads Mulder to Siberia, where an unidentified object crashed into Earth in 1908. Yet for all the seemingly undeniable proof, when agents are asked to verify the remains of a 200-year-old-alien, they finally discover just how far the government will go to make Mulder believe. |
