Part of the show's mythology arc, the episodes tell the story of Mulder and Scully investigating the corpse of an alien autopsy. While Mulder puts his own life at peril in order to find out whether or not the corpse is real, Scully tries to discover the truth about her abduction. Written by Carter, Spotnitz and Howard Gordon yup, the co creator of "Homeland" this episode is steeped deep in the mythology lore but what is fascinating about it is how it almost gives Scully the believer role as well with her arc in dealing with the truth about her abduction.
It's almost like she wants to believe but she has to go through the facts first and starts investigating the MUFON group- which helps women who've been abducted just like her- and discovers that they also share similar traits thanks to their experience.
This two-parter in a way represents what is great about "The X-Files," it's both large in scope but intimate in character relations. One of the biggest story arcs of the show is Mulder's quest to rescue his sister.
It's something that is inherently tied to his drive to find out the truth and as a result is absolutely tied into the D. So it comes as no surprise that when Mulder and Scully investigate the possible abduction of a young girl, Mulder immediately becomes emotionally involved in the case. While it doesn't necessarily advance the mythology of the show in any way, the episode does shed more light on what exactly happened to Mulder's sister plus it serves as a reminder of how personally invested he is when it comes to U.
It's an episode that effectively shows how the theme of obsession and the quest for the truth can become personal to the point that it shows how Mulder is driven by his pursuit to find his sister.
The episode features a remarkable performance by Duchovny and it beautifully expands upon Mulder's back-story with U. Season 1 of "The X-Files" represents, in many ways, the show finding its confident footing but without a doubt one of the best episodes of the freshman season is the explosive finale.
Mulder and Scully investigate government evidence that might be tied into a cover up dealing with alien DNA. As they get closer they discover that they're being targeted by sinister assassins that might be tied to the bigger alien conspiracy. The episode is a masterstroke on how to do finales; several of the recurring story threads that had been explored throughout the season are resolved while new ones are left in the open for the second season to develop.
While its a big episode for Mulder and Scully as they dig deeper into mysterious government conspiracies this episode is a standout for the character of "Deep Throat" played with a great enigmatic presence by Jerry Hardin.
The Bermuda Triangle and "The X-Files" make for a winning combination and couldn't be truer with "Triangle" -a tour de force of technical proficiency and delightfully trippy storytelling.
While investigating a mysterious disappearance, Mulder becomes trapped in a different time while Scully races to save him. With its dreamy tone think David Lynch meets Alfred Hitchcock meets "The X-Files" , this episode is a fascinating stand alone story that plays with the viewer's perception, as well as Mulder's, of what is real and what is not.
Duchovny shines in a great performance while several of the show's supporting players, like Mitch Pileggi or William B. Davis, excel in different scenes by playing characters in the past. To add to the surreal vibe of the episode, Carter shot many of the scenes in one long take to give the impression that Mulder is definitely not in the same space as he normally is. Written by Carter, Spotnitz, Gilligan and John Shiban, "Memento Mori" reveals the fact that Scully has a rare tumor and is in fact diagnosed with cancer.
Mulder's character arc as the constant believer is put to the test when he argues that Scully's abduction led to her symptoms. Featuring powerhouse performances from Anderson and Duchovny, this episode wonderfully handles the mythology aspect of the show through a very personal lens.
By seeing how the ramifications of a U. Not only does it rank as one of Carter's favorite episodes but it also gave Anderson her very well-deserved Emmy win for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series.

While examining a mission in Antartica, Mulder and Scully discover that an alien parasite is at large and is the reason for making its victims filled with rage.
What is essentially a bottle episode - meaning these are the episodes that are filmed in one location in order to save money - is one of the most suspenseful hours that "The X-Files" has ever done. With stellar guest performances from Xander Berkeley and Felicity Huffman, "Ice" has all the slow burn tension of Carpenter's chilly masterpiece.
With wonderful suspense and horrifying sequences, this episode also is an early glimpse at how Mulder and Scully's relationship began to develop across the series. It's no secret that "The X-Files" sometimes embraced its comedic nature throughout various episodes but "Jose Chung's from Outer Space" is a delightful highlight that adds a touching dose of meta humor to the story.
Mulder and Scully investigate an alien abduction incident where two abductees tell the same story but through different points of view. With a "Rashomon" point of view device and a script from Darin Morgan that melds together the supernatural with a more comedic approach, this Season 3 episode stands as one of the show's most daring classics.
