**Whoops... Edit... the episode
Beyond the Sea from season 1 is included in the box set and I did not include it when I put up my original post. Dont know how I could have missed it. Its one of the series greats and has one of my favorite, totally underrated actors in it - Brad Dourif**
Here's what I think the inclusion of each episode means:
Pilot- duh, there are these 2 FBI agents that meet and start to investigate strange cases. going into a movie, its kind of a good idea to know where it all started.
Beyond The Sea- these characters have very complex relationships with their families and with each other, not just with their FBI jobs, plus this episode lets you know that there are psychics in the XFiles universe
The Host (Flukeman)- theres squishy mutants in the XFiles universe and sometimes things get gross
Clyde Bruckmans Final Repose- once again there are psychics, and sometimes they are tortured souls. also this one shows that The X-Files was not always a totally serious show and could have comedy in serious situations
Memento Mori- Scully has/had cancer and it is not something that was a 1 season plot line and then forgotten. it was a big deal to all of the characters of the show and this shows part of the deep relationship between Mulder and Scully.
The Post-Modern Prometheus- This was the black and white, 1950's monster movie/Cher episode. Your guess is as good as mine. This one is just nuts
Bad Blood- Vampires are either fat pizza delivery guys or hot sheriffs. Also shows the work dynamic between Mulder and Scully
Milagro- This was a weird but good one from a later season. Why it is the final pick on Carter's list, I don't know. I guess we'll have to see the movie to see how it ties in. Maybe it shows that some psychics have different abilities and some evils can be willed in and out of existence, or it could be that it shows the analytical, always-thinking mind of Scully
