One thing that comes to mind, about S1......well, indirectly: 'Deep Throat' dies at the end of S1, right? I realized he was the only dead character that did not re-appear in 'The Truth', right? Does anybody know why?

Oh, no clue, Stewie... maybe someone else knows something?
Okay, so Tooms... this guy is one scary liver eater! My favorite scene was the one where he spots that woman and you can READ in his face what exactly he is planning and you can see how excited he is and you are scared he is gonna get poor blondie and then... boom... out of nowhere Mulder is suddenly in the way "I'm looking for my dog. His name is Heinrich. He's a Norwegian Elkhound. I use him to hunt moose!"I think that was extremely well done I felt really sorry for Mulder in court. He knew he was right and he sounded totally unbelievable and ridiculous. Sniff. But I liked how it becomes clearer that Mulder and Scully manage to work together and understand each other, complement each other. She really stood up to Skinner in that meeting (Skinner: Well, maybe your mind has become too open.) and after the court hearing it was sweet how she interacted with Mulder... Well, and then of cousre that famous scene in the car was great to watch again Fox Mulder: Got that sandwich I asked for?trivia from tv.com - first appearance of AD Walter Skinner (I was kinda shocked... thought he had been in an earleir ep...) - This is the first episode that the Cigarette Smoking Man speaks in. - This episode marks the first time a serial killer has returned for a sequel. The other two killers are Robert Modell ("Pusher" and "Kitsunegari") and Donny Pfaster ("Irresistible" and "Orison") __________________

that scene in the car. Classic
I was surprised when I first found out this was Skinner's first episode too, felt like he was always there |

Know what you mean... after so many seasons with him we see Mulder and Scully and just assume his presence

I like the S1 Mulder and Scully the best. Esp Scully, she was funny and playful too. She got very serious after her abduction. Mulder should have thought her how to be funny despite of the mountain of problems. |

And Mulder is a sarcastic pain in the bum... but so good looking at the same time It's weird he hasn't been fired for that... not the good looking part I mean, in most jobs a behaviour like that would get you fired for sure __________________

Yes, I know, but had he worked anywhere else, he would so have been fired
But thanks for posting this quote. Mulder's "me against the world" attitude sometimes makes me forget he also must have friends in higher positions __________________

^You know I wish they had more scenes between him and Senator Matheson. Those type of scenes(including the DT and X scenes here) gave the show such an awesome All the President's Men feel to the show.

^^ You know, I never really liked that character or his connection with Mulder. I could never take it seriously. It felt too much like an old style conspiracy movie... which was probably the point, but still

i think Deep Throat doesn't reappear in the Truth because he has already been in Mulder's mind in The Sixth Extinction. in addition, Deep Throat admits that he has happy life, gets married and has kids. so we've got Krycek, Mr. X and Line Gunmen in The Truth, not to mention a very alive CSM.
btw, have you all known that actually in the original script Scully had a boyfriend in Pilot? fortunately CC knew that Scully's scenes w/ a boyfriend wouldn't do any good to the plot. so he decided to keep the boyfriend in the deleted-scene parts only. thank God! one thing i noticed in Season 1 is Scully's hair, big flashlights and out-of-dated cellphones |
