We get a hint of the dichotomy involved in the character of Deep Throat (Jerry Hardin) in this episode. This time, instead of warning Mulder to keeps hands off of an investigation, he's providing info so the FBI agent can fast track an X-Files case before it can be broomed by the government as a toxic spill event.
For a while there it looked like this was going to be a lone wolf expedition on the part of Mulder until Scully showed up in Townsend, Wisconsin to bail him out of a tight spot. The Max Fenig (Scott Bellis) character was a pretty good one, particularly when he cast Mulder as the subject of his own investigation into UFO's and government conspiracies to suppress information. And of course, the 'enigmatic' Dana Scully. That was a trip, especially Mulder's reaction to it.
I thought Mulder gave a fairly strong, impassioned speech there near the end of the story about how no government agency has jurisdiction over the truth. Two decades ago this sounded like we were on the vanguard of really learning something concrete about the existence of aliens, but here it is almost a quarter century later and we're no more the wiser. Well, maybe someday.
