Another awesome episode to set up the UFO mythology of the show. The plot is great and you start to get to know the characters better. I especially love Scully in the early seasons when she is so incredulous toward Mulder and his far out ideas.
The scene in the diner with Seth Green is hilarious! Moving around his hamburger like it's a flying saucer, and all the 90s slang!
Some other favorite parts: when Mulder buys the UFO photo in the roadside diner, the exchange in the car where Mulder says "Tell me I'm crazy!", and the argument in the motel room about when are the costs of government secrecy too high. One of the most iconic scenes in the series is Mulder standing out on a landing tarp when a UFO flies in and hovers over him.
The episode is entitled "Deep Throat" because it introduces the shady figure who gives Mulder information on the sly (like Woodward & Bernstein's source for Watergate). Now the audience finds out that it's not just aliens, but also a government conspiracy that will play a big role in the series.
