Trivia

*About five minutes into the episode, when Mulder and Scully first arrive at the victim’s home, Mulder says, "How a six foot four 250 pound man was buried alive in less than 5 minutes by a 16 year old kid whose classmates lovingly refer to as dorkweed." However, watching David Duchovny's lips, he clearly said "dickweed" originally. Duchovny’s voice saying "dorkweed” has been dubbed over it.
*The video game Bobby Rich plays during the episode is Shiny Entertainment's "MDK".
*It is a second episode that makes reference to a Thrash metal band Megadeth (the first one being "Die Hand Die Verletzt", with Mulder saying to Scully: "Better hide your Megadeth albums"). About 6 minutes into the episode camera centers on a wall covered in posters one of them being the cover of Megadeths 1990 album Rust in Peace.
*Mulder translates "Ich bin ein Auslander" as "I am an outsider". However, "Ausländer" literally means "foreigner". Similarly he mistranslates the phrase "Ich bin ein Berliner". While the phrase is grammatically correct, "Berlin" may at best refer to type of doughnut. Mulder confuses it with Frankfurter or Wiener sausages.
