Pusher - S3-E17

Other mistake: The FBI crest outside the main FBI building is incorrect as it has the words UNITED STATES BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION on it instead of FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION.

Pusher - S3-E17

Continuity mistake: Pusher loads the revolver with one bullet, leaving five chambers empty. When Mulder picks it up and points it at Pusher, the bullet can be seen in the cylinder, just to the right of the gun barrel. Later, when Mulder begins to slowly pull the trigger for the third time (aiming at Scully), we see the cylinder turn to Mulder's left. Problem is, with the bullet situated as it was when Mulder picked it up, the bullet would have moved to the barrel and been fired the first time he pulled the trigger, killing Pusher. Instead, it fires on the third pull.

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: 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.

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.
