Movie Reviews of The X-Files Mythology, Vol. 4 - Super Soldiers
Movie Review: Fascinating
Summary: 5 Stars
I almost did not buy this Super Soldiers set given some of the reviews, but I just needed to see for myself.
This set is great and quite neatly continues the mythology episodes from the earlier seasons. It does not appear to me that there is some discontinuity or repetitiveness in this set. On the contrary, it neatly ties in with previous sets while at the same time presenting new characters and ideas.
Some good reasons to buy:
1. Extremely exciting episodes. I just couldn't believe it. Even more than the previous sets I found myself captivated by the story line.
2. The development of John Doggett as a character from a sceptic to a loyal friend of Scully.
3. Scully is completely different in this set. She seems more gloomy and fatalistic.
4. The baby story line is not ridiculous at all but adds new matieral to keep the story line vibrant throughout the episodes.
Summary of The X-Files Mythology, Vol. 4 - Super Soldiers
The Mythology is Chris Carter's visionary story arc of "The X-Files" comprised of 60 episodes from all nine seasons of the show. Now you can follow every government conspiracy, alien abduction, and hidden truth right from the beginning.The fourth and final volume of the X-Files Mythology series picks up in season 8, with Agent John Doggett (Robert Patrick of Terminator 2) entrenched as the partner of Agent Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson). That leads to some obvious friction when Agent Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) makes an improbable return and finds himself shut out of the branch that he created and worked in for so long. Also making an improbable return is a young man named Billy Miles (Zachary Ansley), who after being pronounced dead, sheds his skin to become a Super Soldier, a nearly invulnerable alien assassin created to wipe out the human race as part of the colonization plot revealed in volume 3. Other super soldiers during the season included Lucy Lawless (Xena), Terry O'Quinn (Millennium), and Adam Baldwin (Firefly). While this seemed at times like a warmed-over version of the former green-blooded alien bounty-hunters arc, it took a different twist when it directly involved Scully's new baby, William.
By season 9, Scully had ceased active duty on the X-Files, and many loyal viewers had stopped watching as well. Doggett's new partner was Monica Reyes (Annabeth Gish), who had been introduced in season 8 as a cult-ritual expert. Gish, whose character had her own history with Doggett, was a solid addition to the cast (though sometimes reduced to the role of baby carrier). Duchovny was officially gone from the opening credits and most of the episodes, and he and Scully were officially no longer platonic (which usually means jumping the shark). But he did return for the series finale, which over the course of a double-length episode neatly summed up this whole mythology arc. Volume 4's bonus features are the thinnest of the series, consisting of the last installment of the "Mythology" documentary, featuring appearances by the crew plus Robert Patrick and Annabeth Gish, and commentary tracks on two episodes. --David Horiuchi
