X-Files Mythology - Vol. 2: The Black Oil

This selection of episodes of Fox's popular science fiction drama spans the entirety of its nine seasons on air, tracing the mythology behind the mysterious "black oil." THE X-FILES was revolutionary in the scope of its story arc, inventing convoluted mythologies of conspiracy, aliens, ghosts, and paranormal activities of a complexity that was new to television. Here, Scully searches for the truth behind her abduction, locating a group of self-proclaimed survivors, all of whom have the same chip embedded in their necks that Scully found in her own. Alex Krycek, whom the agents meet while investigating a sunken ship and the black oil, claims to own "proof" of extraterrestrials, leading Mulder on a wild goose chase to Siberia. Included are the episodes "Nisei," "Herrenvolk," "Tempus Fugut," and "Gethsemane," among others.
