Chris Carter
wrote the first two episodes of The X-Files (1x00 e 1x01) and Glen Morgan & James Wong the third one (1x03). They did the same for "Millennium".The Titles of the first three episodes of Millennium:
1m00
Millennium (Pilot) "Who Cares?" – Carter1m01
Gehenna – Carter1m02
Dead Letters – G.Morgan & WongThe "Wongs" (as they're called) left the Mythical Set after "Die Hand die Verlertz", to write the teleplay for "Space - Above and Beyond", unlucky but "OK positive" show (I read the English book of the first episode). They came back to the X-Files during the fourth season ("Home"). Then Morgan & Wong wrote another pilot for another, more unlucky than "Space" (it never had an episode) show. Now they're the producers of "Millennium". In "Space" they unburden themselves: one of the protagonists has a girlfriend, and the other two kiss themselves in the first episode.
FIRST SEASON
1x00 Pilot
When Chris Carter presented the project, the answer was: "No, thank you." Then he explained again and, this time, the answer was: "OK, we'll do it, but let us alone." Before the final test, David Duchovny asked to Gillian Anderson to proof the scene together. They had the parts.1x06 Ghost in the Machine
I love this episode because it's one of the first ones I've seen (for the subject, computers) and, then, I saw every X-Files episode.1x12 Beyond the Sea
In this episode, Mulder calls Scully for the first time with her first name.1x16 EBE
The first Lone Gunmen's apparition: in the Italian version, the photographer, who settle on Scully, is called Froster.1x20 Tooms
Scully & Mulder make a memorable talk:
SECOND SEASON
2x03 Blood
Mulder sells Scully's phone number for an infrared viewer. The interested is Frohike.2x05 Duane Barry
Scully was kidnapped because of Clyde Klotz (no offence :) ).2x08 One Breath
Melissa Scully is madder than Fox Mulder.2x14 Die Hand Die Verlwtzt
This would be the last G.Morgan e Wong's X-Files episode. They said good-bye to the troupe through Miss Paddock's sentence on the blackboard: "Good-bye, it's been nice working with you." They came back for the fourth season.2x20 Humbug
Humbug is the most beautiful episode.2x24 Anasazi
Chris Carter plays one of the FBI agents who examine Scully on Mulder's behaviour (poor Dana). Two comments are interesting. Carter's one: "Act is a waste of time." Duchovny's one: "In the script he was indicated as another agent, so we called him the agent Other Agent. He had only few cues, but he always confuse them, so, I don't think this character will return."
THIRD SEASON
3x01 The Blessing Way
Mulder asks for sunflowers seeds. Fox inherits the passion for sunflowers seeds (really very good, but unfindable in Italy) from his father, as he said in "Aubrey", according to Jung's archetype theory. Chris Carter loves them.3x03 DPO
D.P.O. is called Darren in honour of Darin Morgan.3x04 Clyde Bruckman's Final Respose
This episode was written by Darin "Mitico" Morgan: at the start it had to be gloomy and sad, but then the Mitico's Spirit won and he put some witty remarks: Bruckman asks to Mulder: "Fox? Don't tell me it's your real name!"3x12 War of the Coprophages
Another wonderful Darin Morgan's work, for the subject too, that Mulder emphasises at the end ("Faeces." he sighs, after the explosion of the lab, that have made a that-material-rain over them. "Well, at least they bring good luck.").3x15 Piper Maru
Piper Maru is Gillian Anderson's daughter's name.3x18 Teso Dos Bichos
Several interpretations was given to the title (for some of that Shiban was called by the Fox ethical office). I thought was "The Plain of the Serpent" (the words are similar in Italian).3x20 Jose Chung's "From Outer Space"
Another wonderful Darin Morgan's episode. It's one of the most beautiful (it's one of the Gillian Anderson's favourite episodes) and it emphasises the difference of points of view. It was so peculiar that Mark Snow decided to use the theme song of the X-Files, during the autopsy. Detective Manners is called so because a director (who works with Darin in "Humbug" and "War of the Coprophages") had the reputation of using a bad language. (He insulted the bugs in the "War", too...)3x21 Avatar
The first episode written by David Duchovny (with Howard Gordon). David went to the set of the first scene (Skinner & the woman in bed). Mitch Pileggi commented: "He swarmed on the set with the greatest of ease. And he criticised us, too!"3x22 Quagmire
Queequeg dies. The authors were vying to kill it. The dialogue on the rock was written by Darin Morgan.Scully: "Doctor Faraday?"
FOURTH SEASON
4x01 Herronvolk
Other Samantha's clones. She entered the Guinness for quantity of clones.4x07 Musing for a Cigarette Smoking Man
There are parts from "Pilot". In Italy was dubbed in two different ways: "Here there's only the most nuisance agent of the FBI!" in the Pilot, the more literal "Here there's only the unwelcome of the FBI!" in here. I didn't understand how Smoking Man could be in a ghetto, during the Second World War, when Mulder was a woman ("The Field Where I Died"), when he was born in 1940. Poor Smoking Man, unsuccessful writer.4x13 Never Again
Rob Rowland, who plays Edd, is the actual Gillian's boyfriend (husband?). Before this role, RR playd Cooper Hawks, the "in-vitro" protagonist of "Space - Above and Beyond".4x15 Memento Mori
This is the most beautiful episode with "Humbug", "Small Potatoes" & "Jose Chung". Curiously, in many sites the title became "Momento Mori": "The Moment to Die". "Memento Mori" was a Latin motto: the humans had to remeber their own mortality and looking for the right life (stoicism) or catch the day (epicures). This is my own motto: "Memento Mori: Omnes Diem Crede Mihi Diluxisse Supremum, Grata Superveniet Quae Non Sperabitur Hora, Carpo Diem, Quam Minimun Credula Postero." (I remember I have to die: I believe every day is my last, the unexpected hour will be plaesant, I catch the day, trusting at least tomorrow.)4x17 Tempus Fugit
This is my famous sentences (eight years old): "Tempus Fugit, Merda Permanet." (Time goes by, the shit stays).4x18 Max
With "Tempus Fugit" it's the most beautiful double episode of the Show. Poor Pendrell, he was very nice!!! I want he come back!4x19 Sunchrony
Mulder cites Scully's degree thesis by heart!!! "Never is a very long time. Though the multidimensionality suggests infinite solutions and an infinite number of universes, every universe can do just one solution."4x20 Small Potatoes
The tailed-mad is Darin Morgan!!!!!!!!!!
