The Erlenmeyer Flask is an X-Files of a different color. The Erlenmeyer Flask was the episode which crystallized the alien mythology that has now become the foundation upon which The X-Files is built. Carter has a plan and this show laid out just enough to tantalize as he weaved aliens, clones and conspiracy together. It's smoke and mirrors and it makes for great television. The Erlenmeyer Flask is also notable for other reasons.
Important things happen to reoccurring characters and some famous lines are uttered.
I can't give up. This video offers quintessential X-Files as well as any two of the early episodes ever could. Fans will especially want to have The Erlenmeyer Flask in their collection as the foundation of things to come. Kathie ack to the top. Review by Tasha Robinson es, the Earth is being invaded yet again by a technologically superior and wholly unknown alien enemy.
