Tonight’s ep was _Triangle_. And you forgot the Bugs Bunny-style smooch Scully gives Skinner for helping him out. 😉 And I like the shots in the elevator - just because you see the character in what are normally “off-camera” moments. > [@](#): > > Count me in on Postmodern Prometheus where “Walking in Memphis” was sung by Cher, and Mulder and Skully danced at the end. That moment just grabbed at something right in the middle of my chest (and not in a creepy Alien/Xfiles kinda chest-grabbing, but in an Aww-how-oddly-beautiful-and-good-goosebumpy kinda chest grabbing). I agree, and I wanted to nominate this. The only Cher song I’d ever consider seeking out to hear, because I liked the sound and the moment. From the other episode that aired tonight, _Drive_: "On behalf of the International Jewish Conspiracy, I have to tell you we’re almost out of gas. ---

I liked the “morph” guys’ reactions to / comments on Mulder’s life. Especially, his comment (after playing a phone message from the Lone Gunmen), that his (Mulder’s) friends are geeks. ---

PS to earlier post: Also, Mulder’s reaction at the end, when he gets home and sees his apartment. He goes outside to look at the number on the door. I liked the “Chupacabra” episde. I liked it when the Lone Gunmen showed up. I liked Frohicke showing up at Scully’s place somewhat plastered, when Mulder’s believed dead. I liked Baltimore episode where Mulder first meets the LGs (with the appearance by one of the detictives from that police show that was set in Baltimore), and the sequal episode where Byers meets again the woman from the Baltimore episode. In one episode, we get a glimpse of an issue of the Lone Gunman’s newsletter or whatever it was. The headline was, “Monica: Minx or M\_\_\_\_\_\_?” (I can’t remember what the other word-starting-with-M was; something that meant something like robot or andriod; someone only seeming human. No doubt someone here knows!) I liked the episode where Mulder is attracted to a woman in a cult, and we learn interesting things about who knew whom in past lives. I remember Mulder with an alien, saying, “I abducted him”. Hilarious! Even though it turned out to be a halucination or something. At first, I liked the shows that moved forward with the whole plotline about Mulder’s sister, the Cigarette Smoking Man, the Well Dressed Man, etc. But eventually, they kinda lost me. They’d established all sorts of things that seemed to be just dropped or forgotten, or contradticted, about what was going on, what the aliens were up to, etc. ---

> [@](#): > > PS to earlier post: Also, Mulder’s reaction at the end, when he gets home and sees his apartment. He goes outside to look at the number on the door. You’re actually conflating _Small Potatoes_ (with Eddie van Blundht - morphy guy with tail) and _Dreamland_ (two-parter with Michael McKean and Area 51). Both had some fun moments, though. ---

It was the episode where the Lone Gunmen meet Mulder for the first time, can’t remember the name of the episode. My favorite part is when Mulder whips out this cluncky, old cell phone. It just shows you how much that man was attached to the phone, even from the beginning. Also, many moments that people have already mentioned, Mulder’s yelp in Jose Chung, just the whole episode of Small Potatoes, Peter Boyle as the psychic. Loved the series until it started jumping the shark with the Terminator replacing Duchovny. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/your-favourite-x-files-moments/181552.md?page=3)
