"Deep Throat" is where it all begins in the Conspiracy Lore of The X-Files. To understand Mulder and Scully's journey throughout the series, one must start with this episode.
The title refers to Mulder's first government insider informant, a man who leaves newspapers at Mulder's door, and can only meet under the cover of darkness or whenever Mulder least expects him.
The tantalizing thing about this episode, and many of the Conspiracy-related stories to follow, is that the show's creators decided against outright "Look! Here's an alien!" shots, and always left the viewers craving more.
Now, in the years since the show's debut, it may seem a little corny watch. (Note the 90's tech in cell phones, or lack thereof, and computer programs) But, it introduces a lot of the recurring themes and characters that Scully and Mulder encounter throughout the series.
Definitely worth the watch, and one of the most important shows of the series.
