| has gloss | eng: The first season of the science fiction television series The X-Files commenced airing on Fox Broadcasting Company (Fox) in the United States on September 10, 1993, concluded on the same channel on May 13, 1994, and contained 24 episodes. In the first two seasons, executive producer Carter and co-executive producers Morgan and Wong, along with other writers, helped to define the shows fledgling story arc. The "mythology", as the producers called it, was initially established as a government plot to cover up anything pertaining to the existence of extraterrestrial life, and Mulders attempts to discover the fate of his sister, Samantha. He believed that she had been abducted by aliens years prior, when Mulder was a child, which profoundly affected him and ignited his obsession with the paranormal. Carter himself wrote the shows second episode, "Deep Throat", which was directed by Daniel Sackheim. It introduced a character named Deep Throat (played by Jerry Hardin), the first of several secret government informants who would at times help or hinder Mulder and Scullys investigations. |
