Description

Fully revised to include seasons four and five, this text presents an analysis of The X-Files. While sometimes witty and lighthearted, the book aims to be a serious study of the elements that have made the show what it is. As well as a detailed episode-by-episode guide, the book pieces together the nature of the series' conspiracy and attempts to discover just what the truth is. The book also contains a special feature on the X-Files film and reveals such information as Deep Throat's first show more name, what chinga means and the connection between the conspiracy and a famous line of home-baked dough products. show less

I really enjoyed this close up view of X-Files episodes and found explanations for some things I never understood. A little clarity on the subject. The book ends with the movie and is missing the final seasons. I would have like to see the author's take on the immaculate conception of a barren woman and an indepth look at Krycek and his motivations.
