5.0 out of 5 stars So you think you're an X-Phile?, 30 Jul 1999
By A Customer
Every hiccup and flamingo-up from the first four seasons of the X-files, episode by episode. This book will have you scrambling for your VCR before Scully has even rolled her eyes. Everything from "isn't that a sound boom?" to "Ardis, Maryland, doesn't exit" (Don't ask, just buy the book :-))Great dialogue moments, trivia questions and the author's own unique insights, if you buy only one book this visit....!

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is great!!!!!, 30 Jun 1999
By A Customer
When I first got this book, I hadn't seen that many episodes, so it was good for me to look back and refer to old storylines. But, I began to read it through and realized it is a great book!!!! I especially loved the sidebars, such as "Least and Worst" and "Romance Tote Board." However, it is a shame that it only goes up to the end of season 4. I hope that Mr. Farrand writes about seasons 5-7 plus the movie. Every time I watch a new episode, I wonder what he thinks of it. Finally, I loved Mr. F's sarcasm and what he thinks is cool and what's not. No X-Files fan should be without this book. If you watch old episodes, you'll be able to pick out his nits, plus some of your own!!! Yes, this book has made me a nitpicker of sorts. Here's to a great book, Mr. Farrand!!! I hope to read an updated version soon!!!!
