"She IS hot" :-)

[@christopherwall2121]

It's people like him who give honest, hard-working perverts like Mulder a bad name.

[@dominicansoul1]

I like how Mulder doesn’t take the pen from Scully to take a look at it, he takes her hand instead and brings it closer to him. Dude was totally smitten already in season one!

[@spookymulder945]

Nope. He didn't want mess with the bug. It's a sensitive piece of equipment.

He's just a weird dude.

The lone gunmen..wait for it..wait..waaaaiiitttt...just another reason the X files is the greatest show ever..true story..

[@henryblanton6992]

The Lone Gunmen are the best part of the X-Files Franchise. Techno Nerds who are Tech Savy yet awkward, geeky and a bit hopeless at times. They surprisingly manage to survive. God takes care of fools and sometimes the clueless.

[@dieterdelange9488]

They also added a bit of comic relief. They should have been in every episode.

[@swirlingabyss]

You guys know they got a spinoff, right? I loved it, but it didn't get picked up for a second season.

[@Harriet-Jesamine]

They are a million times funnier and better than the big bang theory

[@markjason4088]

Well Scully is hot 🤷‍♂️

[@cockshield]

Would still fire one into her.

[@luissampaio2104]

looked so young in the first season

[@rickyray2794]

"She's hot" lmao, dude got a mind just like me.

[@melanienagy6389]

I loved the X files and the lone gunman loved them too.

[@chrisxavier3147]

The best trio in science fiction, bar none

[@svjim1]

The lone gunmen would be banned from social media... But they wouldn't be on social media in the first place.

[@jj-oc6cy]

exactly, it's a way for control !

[@hoofheartedicemelted296]

They would monitor social media for keywords relating to their own research on the dark web, not on the ususal channels.

[@phantasmo9998]

The thing with the money sounded crazy on the 1990's. Doesn't sound so crazy today.

[@bridgetgarrett330]

I honestly think that these days the x files series practically stinks without Byers Langley & Frohickie(the lone gunmen)to help Mulder & Scully during their FBI cases. They’ve been on their own since the end of the original 9 season run of the series. Bryce Garrett.

[@wonderlasting]

I've always wondered, does Mulder have a financial agreement with these guys? Are they his hired consultants or just really generous and curious friends?

[@maxfrankow1238]

The latter but they do love getting info. For the most part they are just extremely loyal friends.

[@agentpendrell4493]

They are both on similar crusades - if you haven't watched it already, you can see Mulder's origins with The Lone Gunmen in the episode 'Unusual Suspects' (Season 5 Episode 3).

[@jackburton6330]

They're all just being dudes. They are friends. Mulder was reluctant to introduce Scully until he had to.

[@jj-oc6cy]

@@jackburton6330guys just being dudes

[@courtneyking6015]

Weirdly relevant today….

[@andro99991]

Scully here (upon discovering a bug) reminds me of famous Union General during the Civil War, John Sedgwick, whose last words literally were "they couldn't hit an elephant at this dist". He was shot before he completed the word "distance".

[@donovanphillips6278]

This episode is flawless.

[@stephenh7336]

0:35 "You don't believe that the CIA threatened by a loss of power and funding cause the collapse of the cold war wouldn't dream of having the old enemy back?" 1994 Ummm....

[@spirittammyk]

And this episode was made before the new enemy was to show itself starting with the 93 WTC bombing.

[@HOLYPARISHOFDOOM]

I'm surprised they didn't provide character dialogue from any of the Lone Gunmen as to what makes Scully assume that govt entities _want_ to stop crime or control the deficit, etc

[@tremorsfan]

Even if the government can tell how much money I have in my wallet how would they be able to tell who the wallet belongs to? Check it against the boarding passes? What if it's a family? What about metal detectors in courthouses?

[@superguy7044]

Just at airports. The detectors detect the money and you get your photo taken at that very second. Confirming, you possess American cash. Detectors at courthouse would still be useful to make sure someone does indeed enter a courthouse with the bribe for a judge or witness. Just so the people up top KNOW. The signal detection strength would indicate a rough estimate of how many bills you are carrying, certain frequencies detected would determine the demoniations you carry. ...........I didn't design it.....

[@t1m3fl0w]

Best episode !

[@DarknessIsThePath]

For those pointing out the "pen bug", maybe watch the show first, it was only one out of several bugs in that room.

[@andysummersthxcinemaandmyc7748]

smoking man listening in ?

[@Burger-h1j]

Good upload! I'm watching The Lone Gunmen series now. It wasn't in my country and I am a super big X-Files fan.( but I only like the first movie after season 5) The show was not as good as The X-FILES. It's more light-hearted with comedy. But I do enjoy it. I have thought of a good spin-off for the X-Files. I will call it Conspiracy X. It starts with Mulder and Scully living in Hawaii and being married. But they live in a very Remote Part of the Island with there 2 children. There hous is surrounded with booby traps. Two new FBI agents ( played by unknown actors) .Is on holiday on the island. Mulder gives one of them a map to the location of some buried X-Files😊

[@Harriet-Jesamine]

I always wanted a Scotland Yard X Files Spin Off with pheobe green, attempting to open an x branch of Thames Valley Police investigating weird stuff in The Home Counties, with regular guest appearances from Chuck, snd occasionally Mulder and Scully.

[@williamstanton4283]

They could put the bug somewhere better other than that pen.

[@trevorjames9366]

yea that would be a major screwup- pens easily break open and are used constantly-- plus now the FBI agents have direct evidence that they are being covertly monitored- unless it was meant to be obvious and found - maybe the Lone gunmen left it??!

[@Uhlersoth77]

Definitely, from a practical standpoint. From a tv scriptwriting perspective, it's a quick and convenient way for the duo to realize they're tapped. Especially this early in the show, when they aren't as (justifiably) paranoid.
