Last weekend I purchased the Year 2 edition and it's been amazing to see how dense and dark the series was, and how smart, too. At first, I didn't see the appeal of the series; it was pitched as a more violent yet less otherworldly edition of X-Files, but it quickly toned down the gore and toned up the bizarre, and it became quite an excellent companion series. All of which makes Frank Black's disappointing 'zombie' episode of X-Files all the more curious a viewing experience; I think they did his character justice and it was amazing to see him interacting with Scully and Mulder, but still...what a missed opportunity. Mulder could have made a fascinating adversary for those who ran the Group, but I guess you only get one conspiracy of enemies per character in Chris Carter's thinking---Mulder had the Syndicat, Doggett had the Super Soldiers, and Frank had his Group.
