Goofs:
Continuity: During the part where the car's radio and clock go crazy, the sunlight changes. From one angle we see Mulder, and the shadow on his face shows the sun angling in from his left. But the next shot of Scully shows the sun angling in from her right. The shot changes and once more the sun is on Mulders left.

I bought the Season 1 boxset today, and it was essentially a blind-buy. When the show was on the air I was somewhere between too young and not interested, so I only watched it once or twice. Now that I'm into horror and everything, I've been wanting to check this out, and the new, cheaper boxset was too good to pass up!
Suffice to say, it was $30 well spent, based solely on the pilot. I highly enjoyed it, the characters are great, the story was creepy, the actors were very good....I loved it all-around and am looking forward to watching more in the near future. A great start to what I am sure is a great series.
