Format:Paperback
This book (whilst Volume 6) covers the entirety of season seven of one of TV's most consistently popular and thought-provoking TV shows. For any fan of the show this episode guide is an essential buy - season seven - the season in question is the last "classic" season of this wonderful show; that is it is the last which features just David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson as he two main leads. The main reason behind this is because DD decided to take a break from the show for a while after completing season 7 - hence Mulder is abducted in the season finale, "Requiem" - it is vital you buy this guide now not only to enjoy those wonderful moments from one of the most comical seasons of the show - but also to find out what politics were going on behind the scenes and find out the full story behind why DD ultimately chose to quit the show.

The x-files has gained massive cult status around the world and appeals to any sci-fi, fantasy or paranormal fanatic, and so will this book.
It is the ultimate companion to series 6 (undoubtably the best!) and is a must-have for any x-phile.
I recommend this book to any one who watched the series or who is just interested in the paranormal!

The Official Guide Just Keeps Getting Better With Age
26 Nov 2001
Format:Paperback
I had some apprehensions about this book before it even came out. First, the release date for this volume was pushed back, which is not typically a very good sign. And second, this volume was being drafted by Marc Shapiro and not Andy Meisler (who did such a wonderful job with the previous two volumes). But after having read through it, I can happily allay any apprehensions about this book not living up to its predecessors. Volume 6 in this series is just as good, if not better, than those volumes that came out before it.
Marc Shapiro does a great job in delivering the goods behind every episode. I was very impressed with this from Andy Meisler, and Marc Shapiro doesn't disappoint. There is interesting background information on all the episodes - things like the time-crunch in making "Requiem" and the fact that Gillian Anderson had to wear a wig in a car scene in "The Goldberg Variation" because it was shot after her hair stylist had sheared off her lovely locks.
Included in this book are eight full-color pages of images from the seventh season. Those images selected are fine enough, but they only focus on about four or five episodes, which doesn't do such a great season justice. It would have been nice to see more of a mix - some mythology episodes ("The Sixth Extinction" and "Sein Und Zeit") and stand-alone episodes ("En Ami" and "All Things"). But this is a minor detraction from an overall sharp-looking book.
Any fans of the series should have this volume sitting on their bookshelves. This is a must-have, and it is an enjoyable read. Well worth the wait in the time it took to get it published.

Excellent Book!!
21 Aug 2001
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This Book would have to be my all time favorite that only adds to my collection of vol.3-6 now. If you want more x-files, and want to learn more about Season 7, I suggest buying this book. Of course, like the other volumes it has in-depth details of each episode as well as black & white pictures to accommodate them. There are eight pages of color pictures: X-Cops, Je Souhaite, Fight Club, FPS, and, Hollywood A.D.. Very Cool! I enjoy this book very much, despite the delay in publishing, but beleive me, it was worth the wait. There's also the back story of why the ending of Requiem was kept a secret, why Chris waited until the last day of shooting Requiem to write the finale, and why only 2 people knew of it's true ending. . . . All in All, an Excellent Book to add to your X-Files Paraphernalia!
