Two of The X-Files' finest episodes from the series' third season have been paired for laserdisc and videotape release. Both are written by Darin Morgan, a favorite of X-Files fans, and each benefits greatly from his off-the-wall sense of humor and ability to balance comedic and dramatic elements.

"Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose" is considered by many to be one of the series' true high-water marks, and tells the tale of one Clyde Bruckman (played perfectly by Peter Boyle) whose ability to see into the future is limited to knowing how a person is going to die. Elements in the episode include a serial killer, numerous references to silent film creators, and of course, the stupendous Yappi. The dialogue and performances are all dead-on, and the story is alternately funny, thought-provoking, and touching.

"War of the Coprophages," or the cockroach episode, is an entomological romp in the mythical town of Miller's Grove, where an infestation of cockroaches may or may not be killing members of the local populace. Although lacking the depth and resonance of "Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose," "War" is nonetheless enjoyable taken on its own terms, which frankly, get pretty messy at times.
