Marty is so compelling she could have her own series. Mulder doesn't want to leave her there, and neither do we. Instead, Marty uses the cursed eyes one last time: To line up a kill-shot that lands her in prison. When she learns the horrible truth, that the eyes she's been forced to look through are those of the father that she never knew (who murdered her mother) she again refuses the agent's plan to trap the man.

Mulder is immediately drawn to Lili Taylor's uncooperative Marty, even as he calls her on all that false bravado and "angry blind girl comedy routine." He wants to help her, but she's been fending for herself her entire tough life, and doesn't know how to trust anyone. We know he's a slick used-car salesman, yet we can't help but think he's offering us a great deal that we'd be foolish to pass up.Ĩ Lili Taylor in "Mind's Eye" Airdate: The blind girl who lights up her cigarette by putting her face next to a gas burner is someone we want to know more about, even before she starts seeing murders through the eyes of a brutal stranger. Here, he thanks them for believing all the many false stories about aliens he's created in order to protect the government's real secrets (Fletcher claims, for example, to have invented Saddam Hussein). McKean is always great at playing oily jerks, and he's perfectly cast here his scene with the Lone Gunmen is a perfect example of this. When he stumbles upon his heartbroken wife (Nora Dunn) crying into her wine glass at a bar, Fletcher is as surprised as we are at the pain and compassion he feels for her. But the role isn't exclusively a comedic one. Fletcher's just too lame and ordinary to pass himself off as Fox Mulder, even when he's wearing his face (not that there isn't some truth in his take on Mulder as an emotionally-stunted weirdo who could do with some bedroom furniture). But when he starts slapping Scully's butt, and kissing Assistant Director Kersh's, Dana (as he calls her) becomes suspicious. He looks at Mulder's stalled-out, basement-based career and sees a chance to become the fast-tracked go-getter he's always wanted to be. His wife and kids are almost as unhappy with him as he is with himself, so when a shared encounter with a spacecraft results in his switching bodies with the handsome and single Fox Mulder, Fletcher embraces it. Wait a minute…is she really a mocking skeptic of alien abduction, or is she part of the conspiracy? Pounder's cagey performance still has us wondering.ĩ Michael McKean in "Dreamland I" and Dreamland II" Airdates: and Morris Fletcher is a dissatisfied Man in Black, based out of Area 51. Kazdin is intriguingly enigmatic in the scene, doling out information with a Mona Lisa smile and watching intently for Mulder's reaction. She had completely written off Duane Barry as brain-damaged kook, but when a medical exam reveals microscopic drill holes in his teeth and implants in his nasal cavities, she's befuddled, and reveals the findings to Mulder. Her deliciously dismissive delivery as she orders Krycek to fetch her some coffee is priceless but her best scene is her last. Intense yet subtle, she holds her own with David Duchovny's Mulder from the start, and effortlessly commands the respect of the agents around her, presaging her subsequent starring role on The Shield. 10 CCH Pounder in “Duane Barry” Airdate: As Special Agent/FBI hostage negotiator Lucy Kazdin, CCH Pounder creates the perfect guest character one we sense has a very interesting back-story, even though it's never told to us.
