X Files 1.2 "Deep Throat"

Not one hell of a lot to say about the second episode beyond the fact that I feel they jumped the gun by giving the viewer undeniable evidence that the government has UFOs and they'll do whatever they can to protect them. I would have liked to see the show play a bit more with the ambiguity of the situation instead of giving Mulder credibility right off the bat. Put it into the mix a couple episodes later and it would have been great, I think the second episode would have been better used for the first MOTW (monster of the week) episode so as not to lead the audience to the conclusion that the show is just a government conspiracy/UFO show.

Other than that it was a fun episode with a great pre-Buffy cameo by Seth Green, (which establishes a two degree separation between Twin Peaks and Buffy) and the very first official Scully-ditch.
