Where in the world were Mulder and Scully?

I'm sure someone else has already made this list, but I've decided to keep track of how many U.S. states (and DC) (and Puerto Rico) Mulder and Scully investigate an incident in. Not counting other locations where part of the incident happens but Mulder and Scully never go to (like England in 1:12). (edited 3/27/24 after watching 2:19) This started as a list of US states and I continue to be interested in counting US states and territories, but the time has come to set up the list for other locations as well. This list includes places that Mulder and/or Scully go to during the episode to investigate a case. Action in DC that is not related to a case in DC does not count. If the action is in DC and spills over to Maryland and/or Virginia, I just count DC, but if the thing starts in VA and then things also happen in DC, I count both. I don't know, it's not an exact science, and the DC area is fluid to me. So far we have...

#beesarthur hasn't watched the x-files #some of these that are in the DC area i am trying to not overthink and just assign the state or DC that they seem to most take place #cause for exampel 1:15 i think parts of it might technically be in VA or DC but the action starts in maryland #and of course DC sort of doesn't count not because it's not a state but because it's the home base #i write those tags after 1:15 and then of course in 1:16 the action really is mostly in DC so now we've got DC properly on the list #scully WAS the case in 2:8 and it appears to take place in DC or at least in the DMV so I'm calling it DC #2:16 was a doozy but i included everywhere that mulder and scully physically were except for DC because the case wasn't happening in DC #(probably)#so massachussetts ny pennsylvania and maryland #2:25 went everywhere man but i counted it as New Mexico #also considering how many times Mulder has talked about Roswell 1947 it's wild it took this long to get to New Mexico #i certainly haven't counted new York everything the 46th street group shows up but i counted it this time because Mulder went there #this time being 3:16 #in 3:18 again we only count massachusetts and not ecuador because mulder and scully didn't go to ecuador #4:7 isn't on this list because mulder and scully don't go anywhere!!#4:9 is a doozy #4:16 is another DoD episode and another True DMV episode - we get the District Maryland and Virginia!!#i didn't want to count south carolina for 4:21 since Mulder and Scully don't go there but i've marked it since Skinner went there #and this case is clearly happening anywhere the bees can be sent through the mail #5:3 counts because it meets my threshold of either mulder or scully being there #undecided about how to count 5:15 #I DO NOT think it is a coincidence that they go to 'Arizona' for the first time in 6:1 aka the first regular episode that was filmed in LA #instead of Vancouver!!#and in another shocker the second episode they filmed in California is the first time an episode is set in Nevada!#maryland in 6:12 according to the idea that 'fort marlene' is fictional fort dietrick #el rico air force base could be anywhere in the dmv and honestly i'm not going to make a guess
