The X-Files (Season 4) DVD Review
Nominated for 12 Golden Globes and 61 Emmys, including 4 for Outstanding Drama Series, The X-Files is one of the world’s most popular science-fiction drama shows. Premiering in the Fall of 1993 on the Fox Network, home of popular programs such as The Simpsons (1989) and King Of The Hill (1997), The X-Files created an entire fictional world of conspiracies and secret organizations, building a legion of fanatic followers as devoted to the series as Trekkies are to Star Trek. Creator Cris Carter, a former writer for numerous TV shows in the late-80s/early-90s – The Nanny (1993) is one example – brings together the finest aspects of suspense-laden spy novels and alien science fiction. The result is one of the top sci-fi franchises ever produced, spawning its own line of merchandise and even a full length feature film – The X-Files: Fight The Future (1998). With nine successful seasons to its credit, The X-Files is one of the longest-running sci-fi series in television history
The X-Files follows the exploits of four FBI agents assigned to investigate a series of unsolved and mysterious cases known only as “The X-Files”. FBI special agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny), Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson), John Doggett (Robert Patrick), and Monica Reyes (Annabeth Gish) are the primary agents investigating these unusual cases which could never be solved by conventional investigatory methods. But Mulder and Scully in particular play prominent roles in the series. The partnership and friendship the two develop during the course of the series sets the tone for their investigations into the paranormal with Scully, a medical doctor, playing the skeptic to Mulder’s deeply held beliefs in widespread government conspiracies and alien abductions. Through the course of the series, The X-Files covers a wide-range of frightening and mysterious subjects from killer insects and secret world government organizations to the colonization of Earth by parasitic aliens. In so doing, it adds its own unique brand of humor and an original blend of creativity that fans of the genre will certainly appreciate
The X-Files (Season 4) DVD features a number of suspense riddled episodes including the season premiere “Herrenvolk” in which an alien bounty hunter is hot on the trail of Mulder and Jeremiah Smith. Jeremiah takes Mulder to a farm to hideout, a farm populated by identical girls who are clones of his sister (and all of them being of the same age when she was abducted). When the bounty hunter discovers them, he kills Jeremiah. Meanwhile, the Syndicate fears a traitor is within its ranks, and it will go to any lengths necessary to eliminate the problem Other notable episodes from Season 4 include “Tunguska” in which a rock with Martian origins threatens to have dangerous implications for humanity at large, and “Synchrony” in which Mulder suspects that a scientist is involved in a time travel expedition in order to stop his own creation from becoming reality

Key Benefits Of Having An Auto DVD Player
Anyone who has every traveled a long distance with children in a vehicle knows the benefits of an auto DVD player. These handy devices can make a possible nightmare on the road into an enjoyable ride that can last for hours without a major meltdown from the backseat passengers. There are some great options in auto DVD players.
You might think that such a valuable piece of technology would cost a bundle but you can find an auto DVD player at a really reasonable price. I was thrilled to discover this very fact when I was shopping for a way to keep the kids entertained on long trips. I have twin toddlers and they can wreak havoc on a long trip.
Unfortunately, toddlers are not so thrilled about great landscapes. The twins were absolutely miserable during the entire drive and it was difficult to console them even when we made pit stops. Basically, without an auto DVD player to keep the little ones occupied, we had nothing but tears and screams drilling us from the back seats.
I learned about the difficulty of traveling with two toddlers on a long trip after a horrendous summer vacation. We had a long distance to cover but I really thought that the large family van would be spacious enough to house the four of us and I really believed that entertainment would be provided by the scenery.
By the time we reached the vacation destination all four of us were exhausted. Unfortunately, the first day was engulfed in the nasty travel experience. Even though we only spent six hours in the car, it felt like we had spent an entire week in there. The rest of the day was spent trying to unwind from the awful travel experience.
Finding the right unit for our vehicle was no problem at all. From now on I make sure to have a full stock of my kids’ favorite shows on hand when we have to travel any long distance. The auto DVD player was an excellent investment. We love ours so much that we are looking to buy a new vehicle that comes equipped with one.
