Trivia:
The title "Død Kalm" is probably meant to resemble Norwegian for "Dead Calm" (referring to the movie Dead Calm (1989)) but it's gibberish. While the word "død" actually means dead, "kalm" is not a Norwegian word. The literal translation would be "Dødelig ro" (a deadly calm), whereas the proper translation (a quiet sea without waves) would be "Vindstille" or "Blikkstille". And in any case for a Norwegian title only the first letter is capitalized (Død kalm). moreGoofs:
Crew or equipment visible: As the camera is fixed on Henry Trondheim drowning, the cameraman's hand is visible passing upwards on the left side of the screen as if treading water. moreFAQ

Well, maybe Mulder didn't need a translator, but I think I can speak on behalf of the entire population of Norway when I say that the Norwegian spoken in this episode is horrid. I read an article somewhere where it said that it was an X-Files episode in which the story took place in Norway. This had me quite intrigued. My expectations were however crushed, seeing as how this episode struck me as a little boring and quite average, compared to the rest of the season. The old make-up looked awful on Mulder, horrifying on Scully and you can hardly notice it on the other guy, Trondheim. This episode sticks out with its darkness & awful translation of an otherwise beautiful language. It remains an above average episode, with a pretty good teaser and a story that works up until the end.
