    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      "Teliko" is Greek for "end" as well as the name of a "spirit of the air" in African mythology, which is sometimes thought to be an albino.
    • Goofs
      During the autopsy of the Fourth Victim, the depigmented corpse can be seen swallowing. Additionally, actual depigmentation would look much different than what is obviously applied make-up. Also during this scene, both Scully and Mulder are without any protective masks while investigating a suspected contagious disease and Mulder is even snacking on food.
    • Quotes

      Mulder: [seeing the corpse of an albino man] There's a Michael Jackson joke in here somewhere.

    • Crazy credits
      The tagline at the end of the credits is changed to "Deceive, Inveigle, Obfuscate."

    One of the least entertaining episodes
    This feels like a filler episode and nothing more. The first one writing is lazy and uninteresting, and it's written by the same author who wrote the Haitian episode. If you enjoyed that, think of this as half as interesting. I found myself browsing the Internet on my phone after about 30 minutes - it was that bad.
