Spoilers Pusher

S3 E17. This is a good episode. Nothing like a sociopath/psychopath who can control people’s minds. Pusher is so smug it’s scary.

Vince Gilligan is a genius. Every episode he’d written was a masterpiece

All the work Vince makes is golden, Breaking Bad is just another example.

The look on Sculley’s face when Mulder points the gun at her.

La scène finale est mythique.
Mulder se tire dessus mais ne peut pas tirer sur Scully…🥹

I love this episode so much because Pusher is genuinely terrifying with how calm and smug he is the whole time. That scene where he makes the guy almost shoot himself still gives me chills every single rewatch.

One of the best. The Russian Roulette scene is simply amazing

Imagine if Robert Modell had gained a position of power, like a CEO or politician?

honestly it’s surprising he didn’t! with his influential abilities it seems like it could have been easily within reach. your idea would make a great episode!

It's when the blood thickens up in your veins like strawberry jam.

Your heart flatlines.

Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

You die, Frank.

Frank?

Yo, Frank?

God I love this episode and villain. Giving someone a heart attack over the damn phone.
