Deep Throat
Synopsis: Mulder becomes interested in the disappearance of Lieutenant Colonel Robert Budahas, a test pilot who had been exhibiting strange behaviors and had developed an odd rash before his apparent kidnapping by armed special forces men. Before leaving, Mulder is approached by a mysterious man, who tells him not to take this case. Mulder and Scully investigate anyway, but are surprised when Budahas is suddenly returned, but with crucial parts of his memory drained. With the help of two teenagers, Mulder manages to get access to the Air Force base where he had previously seen bright lights moving in erratic patterns, and actually sees one of them up close before he is captured and brainwashed by the military.
By Gordon Lawyer on Tuesday, March 16, 1999 - 7:50 am: Does Deep Throat remind anyone else of Harley Quin?
By Mark Swinton on Tuesday, October 26, 1999 - 4:22 pm: Actually, he reminds me of Mark Twain and a couple of other characters from Star Trek.
(But before you complain about Trekkers invading this site, I do actually find the X-Files intriguing from time to time...)
By Chris Thomas on Tuesday, October 26, 1999 - 10:11 pm: The actor who played Deep Throat actually appeared in an early episode of NextGen.
By Jesse on Friday, July 18, 2003 - 7:42 am:Jerry Hardin, who played Deep Throat, was Mark Twain in the 2-part TNG ep "Time's Arrow".
By MikeC on Monday, June 14, 2004 - 3:50 pm: Harley Quinn? What was that analogy about?
By TWS Garrison on Monday, June 14, 2004 - 11:19 pm: Actually, Gordon Lawyer asked about Harley Quin (who was I believe the Joker's henchwoman in 1990s Batman continuity), not Harley Quinn (my favorite Agatha Christie character).
But I have no idea about what he was writing.
By MikeC on Thursday, July 06, 2006 - 3:34 pm: And the first X-Files Big Name Guest Star is...
Seth Green.
Who was nowhere close to being a big name in 1993.
By WolverineX (Wolverinex) on Wednesday, February 20, 2008 - 4:18 am:I thought I recognised him somewhere when I was watching this episode again today..
By WolverineX (Wolverinex) on Friday, May 30, 2008 - 12:45 am:@TWS Garrison: Its the other way round.
Harley Quin is the Agatha Christie cahracter
while the Joker's accomplice is Harley Quinn.

Besides, it's not like this board couldn't use some attention anyway.
In the Ruminations section Phil believes that this is the first ep where we see Scully's cross-necklace, but I'm fairly certain it can be seen in the Pilot when she first enters Mulder's office in the basement, or possibly even when being interviewed in Blevins's office.
Phil thought it strange that Fox could "walk ten miles in broad daylight across a supersecret base and not get caught" but doesn't comment on how dumb it was for Mulder to walk right across the runway considering that is probably the most exposed spot on the base, and that ground radar would detect him the second he cleared the 'tall grass'.
Phil notes that when Mulder and Scully were accosted by those goons in suits that she only had one bullet "loaded". For one thing, having a bullet in a clip/magazine (although it looked like at least two) is not technically 'loaded' as you would have work the slide first in order to fire. Secondly, I'd like to add the oddity of Scully using a Walther PPK/S (or a clone) as her sidearm when I don't believe any US federal agency, police department, or the military have evermade that gun a standard issue. Plus, Scully's near-empty magazine that Phil comments on is not correct for that firearm, leading me to believe it is a prop
