This multi-award-winning season surpassed fans' expectations with its wit, charm and memorable enigmatic performances. It is simply the best season of the X-Files, with its flow and style in top form. Each episode stands alone as a marvel of storytelling not to be forgotten. Mulder gets closer to the truth of his sister, of aliens and of the secrets of the Shadow Government. Scully meanwhile faces questions of her faith, and where it contradicts with her work as a scientist and an FBI agent. "Jose Chung's 'From Outer Space'" is perhaps the best X-Files story ever written and executed. It plays with the show's paranoia, confusion, lies and conflicting perspectives on the truth and its value. It's as gripping as it is funny, and leaves you with a deep philosophical pondering on the values of life itself.
The only new character of mention for the series here would be Pusher; a tricky killer who forces his will on others, thereby merely watching as they kill themselves, or others. Here is a man who can talk his way out of anything...
I think that season three is the absolute best season of all The X-files has to offer. The stand alone episodes were sharp and funny and classic. Peter Boyle's performance in Clyde Bruckmans' Repose won him an Emmy. And David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson have really hit their stride.
Fantastic stuff!
This reduced price edition of The X-Files: Season 3 differs from the original not only in packaging but in content.
The episodes are all here, but the bonus features found on the 7th disc is not. This is evidenced here:

I also have personally checked this and other reissued sets in the store.
Otherwise, this season deserves 5 stars, and marks the fruition of the show's writers' potential.
