Teliko - S4-E3

Trivia: The initial footage of the episode was taken from the movie Airport 1975 (a Columbia Airlines jumbo jet). (00:00:01)

Memento Mori - S4-E14

Trivia: "Memento Mori" is Latin and means "remember that you are mortal"/"remember you shall die". It was said to military leaders who won great victories to keep their feet on the ground. In this episode both Scully and Mulder are made very aware of her mortality.

Paper Hearts - S4-E10

Trivia: When Mulder asks clerk's office for a transfer of John Lee Roche, he gives his badge number: JTTO 47101111. In the "Piper Maru" episode, the call sign of the sunken P-51 Mustang plane discovered by the French salvage team is JTTO 111470.

Musings of a Cigarette-Smoking Man - S4-E7

Trivia: Towards The End of this episode, the Smoking Man states that the Buffalo Bills will never win a Super Bowl as long as he's alive. If we are to believe that the Smoking Man was killed by Mulder in what is as of now the final episode of the series, this statement ended up being true.

Elegy - S4-E22

Trivia: In this episode, longtime character actor Sydney Lassick was cast to play Chuck Forsch, an over-sensitive and delusional patient in a psychiatric hospital. Eighteen years earlier, Sydney Lassick played a virtually identical delusional psychiatric patient, Charlie Cheswick, in the Oscar-winning film "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" (1975).

Questions

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?

Chop Luftmysza

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.
