Factual error: At The Beginning of the "Musings of a Cigarette-Smoking Man" episode Frohike says that the CSM appears when Trotsky was assassinated, i.e. 20 August 1940, but he does not claim that this is an exact date of birth. However, he further says that during the Nazi-Soviet Pact (1939-41) the CSM's father "kept NKVD informed on American plans to enter World War II" and for this reason he was executed before the CSM learned to walk. This means that his father could not have been executed earlier than in 1941. Assuming that babies learn to walk between a few months and 2 years, the CSM could not have been born earlier than in 1939. It means that in 1953 he should have been a young teenager, and not an adult man, as he is presented. (00:03:45)
The X-Files (1993)
1 factual error in Apocrypha (2) - chronological order
Starring: Robert Patrick, David Duchovny, Annabeth Gish, Gillian Anderson, Mitch Pileggi
Visible crew/equipment: I don't know if this is visible in all formats, but on the newest UK release on DVD, watching in widescreen, it's amazingly obvious. When Mulder recovers from the vampire attack, he gets up from the floor and breaks up a chair to make a stake. There is a shot of his feet as he smashes the legs off and bends to pick up a piece. In the bottom left hand corner of the screen, you can see a crew member's hand carefully and quickly placing a piece of wood on top of the pile for Mulder to pick up.

[After spilling coffee on his lap.]
Mulder: Great, now my crotch will be up all night.
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?
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.

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.
