Season 5 on Blu-ray is amazing and well worth the $

First time watching all episodes, timeless series.

Finally X- Files on blue ray. Doesn't disappoint..

Probably one of the show's last great season. Some great and memorable episodes in this season.

This is a classic TV show. Reload this show and enjoy the classic SIfI.

A must for X-Files lovers and very nice priced at that time...

The fun continues with this season. Great stories, great writing.

Once again bought this on sale hope to finish this series soon

Season 5 was one of the better seasons. Great price, too.

Have been waiting for the Blu Ray version for a while

The fifth season of the science fiction television series The X-Files commenced airing on the Fox network in the United States on November 2, 1997, concluding on the same channel on May 17, 1998, and contained 20 episodes. The season was the last in Vancouver, Canada; subsequent episodes would be shot in Los Angeles, California. In addition, this was the first season of the show where the course of the story was planned, due to the 1998 The X-Files feature film being filmed before it, but scheduled to be released after it aired. The fifth season of the series focused heavily on FBI federal agents Fox Mulder's (David Duchovny) loss of faith in the existence of extraterrestrials and his partner, Dana Scully's (Gillian Anderson), resurgence of health following her bout with cancer. New characters were also introduced, including agents Jeffrey Spender (Chris Owens) and Diana Fowley (Mimi Rogers) and the psychic Gibson Praise (Jeff Gulka). The finale, "The End", led up to both the 1998 film and the sixth season premiere "The Beginning". Debuting with high viewing figures and ranking as the eleventh most watched television series during the 1997–98 television year in the United States, the season was a success, with figures averaging around 20 million viewers an episode. This made it the year's highest-rated Fox program as well as the highest rated season of The X-Files to air. Critical reception from television critics was generally positive. Remember! THE X-FILES: Fight the Future feature film is set between Seasons 5 and 6!

This season's best episode is "Unusual Suspects," in which we learn the origins of the Lone Gunmen and how they came to know each other. It's a humorous story about paranoia and love. The Great Mutato was also a fun and comic-inspired character. There's even a Christmas episode that's so emotional and critical to Scully's character. Pusher returns from Season Three. This season even includes an episode by Stephen King, involving a killer doll. "Bad Blood" is another fantastic and well-though-out episode about vampires. Both Scully and Mulder have to retell the same story in their own words. It is amusing to see how they really view each other. There are some truly great episodes in this season and I think Agent Spender was a superb addition. There are wonderful twist turning up in Season Five.

Stephen King fans will have to see Season 5 episode written by him, but my favorite was written by William Gibson, who writes sci-fi novels. Great widescreen transfers make old DVD transfers ugly to watch, and low price for any Blu-ray TV show makes Season 5, and, really, every season, must buys!

I wouldn't expect anyone to buy this season without already being familiar with the show. So I'll just say the wait for X-Files on blu ray was worth it. For a show of it's age, the picture looks great!

Excellent X-Files series. Excellent stories, good actors and well defined action.
