    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Several crew, including episode director Kim Manners, make a cameo in the form of the yearbook page that Scully flips open.
    • Goofs
      When Frank Kiveat collapses, the EMT states that his pulse is thready. His partner gets the monitor/defibrillator and the first EMT carries out chest compressions even though Frank is moving spontaneously (i.e. is alive). Then the ECG shows asystole (flat line) before they apply the defibrillator. You cannot use defibrillation on asystole. In addition, Frank appears to be conscious when Darin talks to him and clearly cannot be in full cardiac arrest.
    • Quotes

      Fox Mulder: I found it between Miss April and the Women of the Ivy League.

    • Crazy credits
      Almost every episode ends with a fade to black and the words "Executive
      Producer Chris Carter." At the end of this episode, a character is
      flipping through channels on television, and stops on one showing Carter's
      credit.

    Hey Man Nice Shot!
    Just rewatched this episode, hadn't seen it in years. Just as good as I remembered. Jack Black as slacker Arcade employee and Giovanni Ribbissi as I'll say 'Lightning Rod' showing their great acting skills way before they became household names. Fantastic episode!
