Deep Throat

This episode of the X-Files starts with a Swat team entering a house.

Their subject when they get to him is covered in a rash. He is a military pilot and his wife ends up reporting him missing after he fails to return home.

Mulder and Scully fly to Idaho to help the wife find her husband.

During the investigation, Mulder seems to get a little too sidetracked into UFO’s instead of the missing man.

The pilot returns home. His wife claims it is not really him. He cannot remember simple aeronautical information and seems to not remember certain things.

Mulder seeks to see if there are UFO’s at the base and gets caught.

The teenagers that help him get into the base are hilarious.

By the end of the episode they have nothing to show for their investigation. Not even memories. It ends with Mulder meeting Deep Throat.

“Mr. Mulder, they have been here for a long, long time.” -Deep Throat

All the evidence to the contrary is not entirely persuasive.

This is a fun episode.

We get to see our first UFO on the X-Files, or maybe it is a new military airplane. I think that is what makes this show so fun. They change the rules so you never know if it’s the government or aliens.
