Trivia

The phrase at the end of the opening credits "accuse your enemies of that which you are guilty" is a phrase used by Joseph Goebbels, the head of the Nazi propaganda machine during World War II. During a speech he gave at one of the Nuremberg rallies he said "the cleverest trick used in propaganda against Germany during the war {first World War} was to accuse Germany of what our enemies themselves were doing." Many think this was an attempt by Adolf Hitler to justify the impending imprisonment and slaughter of Jews to the people of Germany by telling them that it's okay for them to do it because everyone else is secretly doing it anyways.

Quotes

Walter Skinner: I need you to put the weapon down, Mulder.
Fox Mulder: Cannot do that, sir. You seem to be working with people who tried to kill us.
Walter Skinner: I don't work with them. The world is different, Mulder. When Scully started, it was just us. Dark forces in the U.S. government, there was barely a Russia.

WTF was that?! Chris Carter died. His double is miserable & boring

This episode is not X-files. It's even worse than self-parody. Scully has a voice of a junkie drunkard or has a throat cancer implanted by his son (son of Sun) probably. She should drink less. Mulder looks like he lacks sleep & dies of boredom. Both look like stupid, pure morons reciting meaningless words. Some greyhaired dude is following them for no reasons. They resurrect someone but he's not Christ. Plot doesn't exist and all walking & talking is pointless. They talk about eternal life. What a bull... Ch. Carter died 20 years ago or 25. This is pure boredom and fakery. Stay away from it. Oh, music-you will hate it too!
