Featured reviews
I always loved the dynamic of Mulder and Deep Throat. Something about the two of them together always felt so right. While the pilot episode does a lot to help us understand our two main characters, this episode really dives into the worldbuilding and lore of the show (and what's to come). While I doubt there are people out there who would dare watch this show out of order, I must insist that, if you are one of these people, you MUST watch this episode. This is one of the most important episodes in the series, and undoubtedly the most important episode of the first season.
This was a great episode to continue off from the pilot as it further build upon the sense of mystery and a sense of conspirancy as it seems some have acces to knowledge that others don't!
This episode had an intense thrilling vibe as mulder and Scully investigate the disaperence of a military pilot! The first episode introduces the possibility of extraterestial life, this one introduces how the military is possibly hidding secrets about extraterestial offentlige!
Mulder and Scully is once again amazing as Mulder is willing to do anything to expose the secrets! The introduction of Deep Throat is great as well as he serves as an important role in Mulders journey to discover the truth!

This is one of my favorite episodes, it introduces the character of Deep Throat(He was much better than Mr.X) to the series. This episode also features a guest appearance by Seth Green before he became famous.
There are some great Mulder and Scully moments that could bring a smile to your face, these two characters are the best pair ever. The last 10 minutes of the episode are a must-see. Mulder was so close to seeing the truth, but was prevented from doing so. Then Deep throat warns Mulder that "they" have been with us for millions of years. To sum it all up, its good.
Mulder: Scully tell me i am crazy!
Scully: Mulder... your crazy...

This episode is marked by the debut of the legendary deep throat character.A big favourite for many x-files fans.No concrete explanation is given as to why he decides to help Mulder or inadvertently help him in following cases nor is his real name revealed.In this episode Deep Throat advises Mulder to cool his interest in a case he's involved in.Mulder being the free spirit he is disregards his advice.
Jerry Hardin plays Deep Throat well and endears himself to the viewer as a mysterious,slightly dubious individual.Having seen him star in an episode of Star Trek The Next Generation i believe it was the right idea to cast him in the role of Deep Throat

Deep Throat introduces us to a beloved character referred to as Deep Throat. We never learn the name of this mysterious informant, who continues to assist or not assist (as the case may be) Mulder in subsequent episodes. He advises Mulder to stay away from a case Mulder has begun and Mulder does the opposite. This episode helps to add to the audience's mistrust of the government as UFOs are supposedly being flown on a United States Air Force Base in Idaho. The action becomes tense and suspenseful when Mulder is captured on the top-secret base and Scully must find a way to rescue him. This show also marks the beginning of famous guest stars who either were famous at the time of their appearance or soon came to be well-known. The guest star to look for in this episode is a young Seth Green before his roles in Buffy and Austin Powers. This episode is a fun, exciting ride.

[Mulder and Scully have just asked two teens if they saw a flying saucer]
Scully: Mulder, did you see their eyes? If I were that stoned...
Mulder: Ooh! If you were that stoned, what?
Scully: Mulder, you could've shown that kid a picture of a flying hamburger and he would've told that's *exactly* what he saw.
