This was Episode 1×02 entitled “Deep Throat” and it was spectacular! We are introduced to the iconic character of Deep Throat and many of the show’s core attributes are introduced here, beginning with the opening title sequence. Chris Carter wrote and Daniel Sackheim directed this episode, and the original air date was September 17, 1993. The show garnered 11.1 million viewers.

In our news segment, we have Fortune with a revealing interview with Chris Carter wherein he tells us why there are fewer alien believers today. We then provide our synopsis of the episode that includes more of the series’ classic features: a bizarre illness, memory loss, UFOs, a conspiracy, and the mysterious Deep Throat, who may or may not be on our agents’ side.
