    Phantom Galaxy: The X-Files Season 5 Roundtable

    Welcome back to the X-Files Round Table returns to Phantom Galaxy with over four hours of coverage for the fantastic 5th season!

    Nathan is once again joined by Victor Rodriguez from Inside the Sound of Fear, Dave Roy from The Great Fright North,,  X-Files super-fan Karen Wagner, and introducing Shannon Barnes who sits in for Tommy Wood this time, but will be a regular co-host going forward. ----more----

    Perhaps the tightest and most consistently good season of the show to-date, Season 5 represented an experimental undertaking for television; deliver an entire season filmed after the upcoming theatrical release that will follow it. As a result, the storylines are more structured, the monsters of the week more plentiful and strategically planned. Duchovny and Anderson, at the top of their fame, have never been better.

    So join us as we follow Mulder and Scully through the subterranean tunnels of the Everglades, into cubicle farms overseen by demonic insectoid overlords, down the arcane virtual spaces of the World Wide Web, all the way to the last place you'd ever expect them....a Cher concert! 

    Enjoy, and remember, THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE!
