Trivia

*This is one of the four episodes in "The X-Files" run to not feature Dana Scully, the others being "3", "Unusual Suspects" and "Travelers."
*At 23:31 into the episode, Walter Skinner is flipping through files in Mulder's office. Only one file has a visible name tag. If you look closely it says the name Foo Fighters. It is in reference to actual foo fighters, not the band.
