The Post-Modern Prometheus - S5-E5

Corrected entry: When The Great Mutato is lured out by a peanut butter sandwich, he puts down the sandwich when the agents give chase and we see he has taken one bite. When Scully picks up the sandwich, there are two bites taken out of it.

Correction: Yes, we saw him take one bite, and yes, Scully picks up the sandwich showing two bites were taken out of the sandwich; but what you fail to observe is that The Great Mutato has 2 mouths.

Chinga - S5-E10

Corrected entry: When Scully calls Mulder the first time, he is watching what sounds like a porn movie in his office. During the conversation, he goes to turn off the TV which shows swarming bees. But you can see both his arms are down. Neither is holding the phone on which he is talking to Scully. (00:07:35)

Correction: I don't need to use my hands to hold a phone. I can pin it between my head and shoulder.

Christmas Carol (1) - S5-E6

Corrected entry: In this episode, we see a flashback of Melissa and Dana opening presents at midnight on Christmas. They each get identical cross necklaces. But earlier, in "Ascension," Dana's mother tells Mulder that she gave Dana the necklace for her fifteenth birthday.

Correction: This sequence is a dream, not a flashback, which accounts for the conflict.

Bad Blood - S5-E12

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.
