The Post-Modern Prometheus - S5-E5

Corrected entry: When The Great Mutato is lured out by a peanut butter sandwich, he puts down the sandwich when the agents give chase and we see he has taken one bite. When Scully picks up the sandwich, there are two bites taken out of it.

Correction: Yes, we saw him take one bite, and yes, Scully picks up the sandwich showing two bites were taken out of the sandwich; but what you fail to observe is that The Great Mutato has 2 mouths.

Chinga - S5-E10

Corrected entry: When Scully calls Mulder the first time, he is watching what sounds like a porn movie in his office. During the conversation, he goes to turn off the TV which shows swarming bees. But you can see both his arms are down. Neither is holding the phone on which he is talking to Scully. (00:07:35)

Correction: I don't need to use my hands to hold a phone. I can pin it between my head and shoulder.

Christmas Carol (1) - S5-E6

Corrected entry: In this episode, we see a flashback of Melissa and Dana opening presents at midnight on Christmas. They each get identical cross necklaces. But earlier, in "Ascension," Dana's mother tells Mulder that she gave Dana the necklace for her fifteenth birthday.

Correction: This sequence is a dream, not a flashback, which accounts for the conflict.

Paper Clip (3) - S3-E2

Visible crew/equipment: When Mulder and Scully enter the abandoned mine through a doorway, the viewer can see at right in the distance a number of people sitting on a wall, and one crouching in front of the wall with what looks like a dog. They are sitting still, but there is still movement there. (00:16:00)

Trivia: Scully's father, Scully's older brother, and the man Mulder thought was his biological father were both named William. (The father who raised Mulder went by "Bill, " as did Scully's brother.) Mulder's actual biological father, Cancer Man, was played by William B Davis (who also goes by "Bill"). Scully and Mulder's son was also named William (before being adopted and having his name changed to Jackson).

Trust No 1 - S9-E6

Question: After blowing up the car, when the NSA guy answers Scully's question, "How the hell do you know my size?" he says, "I know the name of your college boyfriend, your true hair colour, your ATM PIN number." This strongly suggests that red is not her true colour. Therefore, my question is: What is the true colour of Scully's hair?

Chop Luftmysza

Answer: He was being facetious. He doesn't specifically know that information, he was merely giving examples of the types of information he has access to.

I think so too.

Answer: Actress Gillian Anderson's natural hair color is strawberry blonde, which she dyed fiery red. (Although in the revival of the show she wears a wig).

The question does not concern Gillian Anderson's true hair colour-it concerns Agent Dana Scully's true hair colour.
