Mulder (David Duchovny) and Scully (Gillian Anderson) investigate
strange goings-on at a secret gouvernment airbase where pilots disappear
and reappear with parts of their memory missing, even though they are
warned by the mysterious Deep Throat (Jerry Hardin) - who will in the
course of the series become Mulder's most important contact - not to.
Their investigations are blocked by the army every step along the way, and
yet they manage to witness the flight of two mysterious objects near the
airbase one night, so Mulder decides to break into the premises to see
what's really going on - but he is soon arrested by the army and ... Scully
has to come to terms with the fact that the army might let Mulder
disappear from the face of the earth - when she finds out that a friendly
and helpful local reporter who has hooked up with them repeatedly is
really an undercover agent for the army - and she takes him hostage and
exchanges him for Mulder. When Mulder is released from army custody, he
knows he has seen something ... but that something has been erased
from his memory. This episode (as so many others) ably
demonstrates both the attraction and the shortcomings of the whole series The
X-Files: On one hand, the series is amazingly good at building up
elaborate conspiracy theories, theories that make more sense in the
context of the series than on their own, but ont he other hand, if you are
a casual viewer of the series, or even watch this as an isolated episode,
you get the distinct felling that something's missing, that you are
cheated out of a few too many explanations. Plus, the premise that a
grown-up man believes in UFO-sightings near a secret airbase seems a bit
far-fetched - aren't secret airbases exactly the spot where new flying
machines (that might look like UFOs today but might become standard
tomorrow) are bound to be tested?
