Deep Throat introduces us to a beloved character referred to as Deep Throat. We never learn the name of this mysterious informant, who continues to assist or not assist (as the case may be) Mulder in subsequent episodes. He advises Mulder to stay away from a case Mulder has begun and Mulder does the opposite. This episode helps to add to the audience's mistrust of the government as UFOs are supposedly being flown on a United States Air Force Base in Idaho. The action becomes tense and suspenseful when Mulder is captured on the top-secret base and Scully must find a way to rescue him. This show also marks the beginning of famous guest stars who either were famous at the time of their appearance or soon came to be well-known. The guest star to look for in this episode is a young Seth Green before his roles in Buffy and Austin Powers. This episode is a fun, exciting ride.
