What a smart idea: Fox Home Entertainment is repackaging all 60 mythology episodes of "The X-Files" in four boxed sets. First up, The X-Files Mythology, Vol. 1 - Abduction, features 16 myth-arc episodes from seasons one through three.
Five of the episodes include new commentary tracks, and part one of a new four-part documentary, "Threads of Mythology," spends 27 minutes discussing how the mythology came to be. Producer Frank Spotnitz explains how star Gillian Anderson's real-life pregnancy in season two altered the course of the series forever.
If nothing else, this re-release saves on shelf space for fans who only want the series' most important episodes.
