->The death of Deep Throat is so brilliantly handled that the show would be trying to [[FleetingDemographicRule replicate it's success for years to come]], but never quite get it as right as it does here. The idea of killing off such an established character is a shocking move because he has formed an integral part of the show's tapestry. Had this been [[CutShort the end of the series]], ''(Chris)'' Carter was bowing out with the message that nobody, not even Deep Throat, was safe from being tidied up by this government conspiracy. What a bleak, unforgettable message that would have been. With the show renewed, it has a secondary purpose of reminding us that not even Mulder and Scully’s safety should be taken for granted. That’s something that would prove quite prescient very soon in the first third of season two. More importantly the execution is perfect. There’s simply no way this outcome could have been predicted on first viewing because Deep Throat has always appeared so well connected. The prisoner/embryo exchange seems to be going down perfectly and Deep Throat is suddenly shot with such speed I was left reeling on first viewing. I wanted to rewind it to confirm what I had just seen! If you are going to slap your audience around the face with the death of regular character this is how to do it. Quick, unexpected, unfair and unforgettable. I don’t think I have ever seen it done better, personally.
