Season 1 Episode 2: Deep Throat

Ah yes, the introduction of early seasons staple Deep Throat. I always liked the Deep Throat character and his connections in and out of conspiracies, also he's pretty quick on his feet to escape from Mulder so quickly in the bathroom.

"If we ignore them do you think they'll go away?" - Mulder

Overall I don't like this episode as much as the first but I do think it does a good job of building on the mythos the pilot started. Oddly the one thing that is really hitting me in this episode is the music... it just sounds weird. Like Mike Snow was part timing on a soap opera and mixed up the music this week or something. You do get a good glimpse into how desperately wants/needs to find extraterrestrial life in so way/shape/ or form.

Holy baby Seth Green Batman!!

So this one is kind of short because... just isn't much to say about this episode I guess. Perhaps it's because I don't like this episode as much. Perhaps there just isn't much to talk about in this one. I do like  later in the episode when Mulder runs off only to be caught rather quickly when they kind of give Mulder a scene very similar to Billy Miles in the Pilot. The standing in the white light under a UFO thing. I kind of enjoy the really shady hostage trade at the end of the episode as well, not really any tension to it but it made me laugh.

Random Tidbit: While googling to see if the air force base in the episode was real and if it was connected to any alien activity I found this, a website that has an image of where the KGB says there are alien bases on earth. Hooray Google!!
