Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Destined to become the most collectible video among fans of The X-Files, this two-episode cassette is from the show's excellent fourth season--the first episode presenting a pivotal chapter of the series' conspiratorial "mythology" and the second offering a stand-alone plot so twisted and bizarre that it was banned from Fox TV after its original broadcast. Scripted by series creator Chris Carter (who is interviewed on this video), "Herrenvolk" is packed with crucial events that link it to previous and subsequent episodes concerning the conspiracy of alien colonization that runs throughout the series. (Because of this, the following synopsis will only make sense to the show's loyal fans.) While Mulder attempts to protect the mysterious Jeremiah Smith (Roy Thinnes) from an alien bounty hunter, he witnesses a secret farm community where clones--including a replica of Mulder's missing sister--carry out some unknown task. Meanwhile, Scully learns the astonishing truth about Smith, and Agent X is gunned down as a traitor, staying alive just long enough to leave Mulder a vital clue to the ongoing investigation. Dealing another trump card in the unfolding conspiracy, Cigarette Smoking Man orders the miraculous healing of Mulder's dying mother, on the logic that "the fiercest enemy is the man who has nothing left to lose." While "Herrenvolk" is a first-rate chapter with intricate connections to The X-Files mythology, "Home" is a stand-alone episode that surely qualifies as one of the most outrageously bizarre hours of drama in the history of prime-time television. It begins when Mulder and Scully investigate a horrible case of infanticide in the seemingly peaceful town of Home, Pennsylvania. The tiny, malformed corpse leads the agents to investigate the mysterious Peacock family, a trio of hideously deformed brothers who maintain a legacy of inbreeding with their equally disfigured mother, a quadruple amputee who is kept hidden on a rolling platform in the Peacock home. Brilliantly scripted by Glen Morgan and James Wong, "Home" posed a horrifically clever challenge to network censors, and managed to get away with murder in terms of what is implied and actually revealed. The Peacocks are both repugnant and oddly compelling (the writers may have been inspired by the documentary Brother's Keeper), and their loving mother (arguably the most freakish human ever depicted on mainstream TV) will go to any length to continue her family's mutated bloodline. What's most amazing is that "Home" covers this terrible territory with outrageous humor and the appropriate touch of tragedy--not only can Scully ponder the horrors of the Peacock legacy, she can crack wise by quoting the movie Babe while maneuvering through the Peacock's pigpen! And if you think the surviving Peacock brother is just keeping mommy comfortable in the trunk of his Cadillac, well... you haven't been paying attention. --Jeff Shannon Average Rating:
 Rating:  - most memorable xfiles, bar nonedespite the others who call this rubble because they live near by the actual town or the ones who call this art, let me put this in simplest terms: THIS IS A TV SHOW. By far, the most memorable episode of an acclaimed tv show. This particular episode is about a family trapped in tradition, a twisted and sad tradition, mom doing it with her sons and having her sons' baby, cutting off limbs-rolling around the floor on a skateboard! Yes this is twisted. Come on now, people dont make jokes about backwoods, ... Read More Rating:  - Factural errors aboundBecause Home, PA is a real town in Pennsylvania and because I grew up a few miles from there, the many factual errors in the Home episode distracted me to the point of being unable to suspend my disbelief. First, Home is in Pennsylvania and we fought for the Federal side in the Civil War. War of Northern Aggression? Absurd. And we don't talk with a drawl, either. Don't get me wrong, we're hillbillies, but not the southern kind. Second, Home is in Indiana County. The sheriff of ... Read More Rating: - Home is wildly entertaining but viciousI just saw a repeat of 'Home' for the first time since its original airing in the 4th season. I had remembered everything, for I guess eight years. Seeing it again made me realize what a perfect slice of pure horror it is. How can a one-hour episode become such a horror classic? Its imagery is its artwork. There is an iconic image early on, at night with lightning, with the three brothers silhouetted in darkness with the Home lit up behind them, that sets the standard and the rest of the show delivers. ... Read More Rating:  - Herrenvolk/Home was...It's interesting to note that as gross as Home was, everyone remembers it. The best part was the deleted scene with Mulder and Scully squeezed in a closet and she asks him if it was his flashlight she felt. Mulder is funny saying he's turned on pushing pigs. As for Scully and her "Babe" comments, I didn't see Babe and therefore can't relate. As for Herrenvolk, I think that was a very pivotal episode in trying to keep account of all the aliens and their purpose. We see the governments involvement and ... Read More Rating:  - Herrenvolk an interesting plot thickener, Home however...Considering there are already plenty of in-depth descriptions and summaries of the episodes already, I'll stick to my oppinions. Herrenvolk was a good episode. Intriguing. Any episode involving mulders sister and the smoking-man ahs got to be good. Plus it helps out the over all plot of the show. 5 stars. Home however... is utterly horrible. I was disgusted for a good hour if not more after watching this episode. Disturbing is a mild way to put it. If you have a weak stomach, I highly UN-reccomend ...
