A cult hit desperately in search of a broad audience in its first-season, The X-Files exploded in its second season, establishing an audience with storylines steeped in conspiratorial lore and settling in for a long run. The extraterrestrial and paranormal detective work of FBI Agents Mulder (David Duchovny) and Scully (Gillian Anderson) also rounded into shape: Mulder, the believing go-getter; Scully, the skeptical straight woman but also ready to back up her partner, even if against her better judgment. Also popping up in X-Files Second Season are the sympathetic but harried FBI supervisor Skinner (Mitch Pileggi) and the evil Cigarette Smoking Man (William B. Davis), whose nefarious mysteries seem to be in intersecting orbits about Mulder and Scully. Among the more memorable episodes from the season is "Little Green Men," the season premiere, in which Mulders X-Files are officially closed by the FBI, leaving Mulder in a brood over his purpose in the Bureau... until strange radio signals are reported in Puerto Rico. In the classic two-part "Duane Barry" and "Ascension," a distraught former agent (Steve Railsback) takes hostages, claiming to have been abducted by aliens. When he later abducts Scully, a shocking chain of events will lead to the reopening of the X-Files and a revelation about life outside our world. In "One Breath," a comatose Scullys life hangs in the balance, while Mulder must contend with the wishes of her family and of the Cigarette Smoking Mans forces. And in the season finale, "Anasazi," a hacker gives Mulder a computer disk, claiming to have discovered the Defense Departments files on extraterrestrials. As their investigations take them across the country (and into the Arctic) on this 25 episode, seven DVD voyage, Mulder and Scully encounter murderous cultists ("Red Museum"), visions of 50-year-old serial killings ("Aubrey"), and deadly plagues in a prison ("F. Emasculata"), as well as all manner of secret informants, psychopaths, and ghosts. Were still not sure if the truth is out there, but looking for it makes for a hell of a ride.
