Warning: Spoilers
Mulder and Scully decide to poke their noses into the disappearance of a military test pilot. Pretty soon their investigations make lots of people very irritated and angry.

Episode 2 of "The X-Files" has the same problems as the first: some plot developments are kind of head-scratching (why letting Mulder and Scully just go around if their investigations may be dangerous, for example) and the story is a little bit silly. However, now that we have got to know our two heroes, the plot can center on the 'mysterious' world we live in and on those who may be here with us. And "The X-Files" does a great job in making things quite interesting. The acting is a little bit shaky and, as said, the plot has some weird decisions (like Mulder's abduction and posterior release), but it has a good pace and keeps things interesting all through its running time. And with so deep a well from where to create a mystery of the episode (on top of the overall arc), the show can keep everyone happy.
