Yeah, I heard Season 2 starts slow but ends ok. My wife and I are loving Season 1(shes one of the few girls I know that would have sat with me while I watched all 9 seasons of Xfiles on dvd)
This show is/was so good in Season 1 that I would actually consider buying the Blu-Rays to replace my HD-DVDs. I got the set as a blind buy never having watched a single episiode when they were broadcast, and I could not pull myself (or my wife) away from watching these first season shows as fast as time would permit.
Excellent news.
(Yes, season two starts slow but it would have been hard to follow up the intensity of season one)
