Discussion Post: Converting The Masses
This is the first part of a two-part question, but I'll do them on separate days.
You want to convince a friend to get excited about The X-Files. (Assume the person is someone who wouldn't be automatically averse to the idea, but hasn't previously encountered the show, presumably via living under a rock for the 1990s.) What episodes would you use as the introduction? And, just as importantly, how would you frame them--that is, what would you tell them about why these episodes are awesome, and represent only selections from a more awesome whole?

The other thing is that there are different kinds of fans. I don't think I'd ever succeed in converting someone who was predisposed to like the mytharc, because I'd never think to show someone those episodes...
