Clyde Bruckman (played by Peter Boyle in "Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose")

Propaganda under the cut for length reasons

Clyde Bruckman: Hilarious. Tragic. Makes fun of Mulder, won an Emmy for it. "Final Repose" is one of TXF's most acclaimed episodes for good reason. If Clyde wasn't Clyde, this episode wouldn't be nearly as well received.

Clyde Bruckman: You don't get it, do you, kid? Two years from now, while driving down Route 91, coming home to your wife and baby daughter, you're going to be hit head-on by a drunk, driving a blue '87 Mustang. You'll end up looking worse than 60 feet of bad road your body slides across after flying out your front windshield. Young Husband: Mister, you really need to work on your closing technique.

The Eves: Such a cool concept. So terrifying.

"You and you. You have 46 chromosomes. The Adams and the Eves ... we have 56. We have extra chromosomes. Number 4, 5, 12, 16, and 22. This replication of chromosomes also produces additional genes. Heightened strength. Heightened intelligence." "Heightened psychosis."

I paid too much attention to a guard. Bit into his eyeball. I meant it as a sign of affection. Are you going to give me an IQ test by any chance? I think I can top 265. We're very bright, we Eves. It runs in the family.

Sheriff Hartwell: I love how petty Mulder & Scully get over him. Also the fact that he's [episode spoilers] a vampire.

Luther Lee Boggs: Brad Dourif killing it as usual. Memorable for a reason.

All Eyes Lead to the Truth | Eve (1x11)

It happened on the playground at recess. Not in the way she’d read about these kinds of things in storybooks: a flash of light, some ghostly vision, a possession of some kind. It just was. 

She wasn’t like the other fifth graders. She was smart, advanced. There had been no need for first or second grade. And it was while she sat reading her science textbook cover to cover for the third time, studying the chapter on ionic bonds, that she became aware of thousands of other things she’d never learned. It was as if she were suddenly leading another life, but not just one. Maybe three or four. Five, perhaps. 

It felt like there were… six.

Teena Simmons sat alone next to the water fountain except she wasn’t alone, not really. There was another presence with her now.

It was hard to explain, but somehow she knew. 

She just knew.

Propaganda:

Phoebe Green: I can kinda admire how hateable she was with so little screentime

Invisigoth/Esther Nairn: she has a doctorate and a truckload of eyeliner. what more do you need?

The Conundrum: He ate.

Dr. Blockhead: I don't think that man has a medical degree

BLOCKHEAD: I don't answer any questions until I talk to my lawyer. MULDER: Who's your lawyer? BLOCKHEAD: I represent myself.

SCULLY: Well, his body possesses some anatomical discrepancies... some offshoots of the esophagus and trachea that almost seem umbilical in nature and... I've never seen anything like it. BLOCKHEAD: And you never will again. Twenty-first century genetic engineering will not only eradicate the siamese twins and the alligator-skinned people, but you're going to be hard-pressed to find, uh, a slight overbite or a not-so-high cheek bone. You see, I've seen the future and the future looks just like him. (He points at Mulder, who is standing in front of a trailer in a classic model pose. Hands on his hips, one foot up on the step, looking off into the distance.) Imagine going through your whole life looking like that. That's why it's left up to the self-made freaks like me and the Conundrum to remind people.

Ronnie Strickland: Honestly, if being an actual [episode spoilers] vampire turned out to be super lame, I would also put in fake fangs and do all the stereotypical stuff for funsies

Carla Stonecypher/Michael Kinsley : Teamwork makes the dreamwork 😎 #stonecypher is a badass name

Triangle-verse!Skinner: [MILD EPISODE SPOILERS] undercover wwii resistance woo

Mr. Nutt: Michael J. Anderson was born on Halloween and has worked for both David Lynch (Twin Peaks!) and Nasa. And he plays a hilarious hotel manager here!

Flukeman: Iconique! Darin Morgan's first time working on the show

The Eves: Such a cool concept. So terrifying.

Patrick Crump (played by Bryan Cranston in "Drive")

The Eves (played by Harriet Harris & Erika/Sabrina Krievins)

Patrick Crump: This is basically Bryan Cranston's audition for "Breaking Bad". Also I never noticed how ridiculous the character's name is. Makes him sound like the candyland version of Fall Out Boy

The Eves:

To jog your memory, here are the episodes they're from:

Drive: With Mulder trapped in a car by a seemingly deranged man, Scully races to determine if the man is suffering from a deadly illness—and if Mulder is in danger of becoming the next victim of a government virus.

Eve: When two fathers on opposite sides of the country are inexplicably murdered at exactly the same time in exactly the same way, Mulder and Scully find that their eight-year-old daughters are perfect twins and were created in order to continue The Litchfield Experiment, a eugenics project of the 1950s which produced cloned boys named Adam and girls named Eve who have heightened strength and intelligence, but are prone to psychotic behavior.

Beyond the Sea: A death row inmate named Luther Lee Boggs claims that he is psychic and can lead Mulder to a serial killer in exchange for a lesser sentence of life in prison. The agents' roles are reversed in this episode, with Mulder doubting Boggs's claim and Scully believing him after she is told that she can communicate through him with her recently deceased father.
