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?

By that time, they should be hooked :) If not, I should show later stuff: Grotesque, Never Again, Drive, maybe Dreamland,...
Oh Gosh, now I want to rewatch the series.

Although I remember thinking Space was the shit when it first aired. Prooooobably because I was, um, 12. But seriously, Scary Mars Face has stayed with me to this day.
