But what made the X-files episode so great was that it was more than just a single-note “Hey, let’s put Mulder and Scully in Springfield” laziness the way most later guest star appearances were. It also played with Nimoy’s regrettable “In Search of…” Newage (rhymes with sewage) show.
And it had the great line “The following tale of alien encounters is true. And by true, I mean false. It’s all lies. But they’re entertaining lies. And in the end, isn’t that the real truth? The answer is no.”
