'X-Files'- Season 10 Trivia

1. Having left the FBI many years ago, where was Scully working at the beginning of the episode?

From Quiz 10.1 "My Struggle"

Answer: A hospital

As Scully was preparing to go into surgery, she received a phone call from her old boss, Walter Skinner who was still an Assistant Director at the FBI. Scully then made a call to Mulder to tell him that Skinner was looking for him. When Mulder asked why Skinner didn't call him directly, Scully pointed out that, "He doesn't know how to reach you, Mulder, I barely know how myself". Skinner wanted to know if Mulder was familiar with Tad O'Malley because O'Malley had contacted the FBI, wanting to meet Mulder. Mulder told Scully to "Tell Skinner to set it up", and then told her, "Don't pretend I'm going alone".

From Quiz 10.3 Mulder and Scully Meet the Were-Monster

Answer: A human-sized lizard

The creature was first seen in the woods where it appeared to be attacking an animal control officer. The attack was witnessed by a couple who were spending their evening in the forest, inhaling spray paint. Mulder was skeptical of their story because the couple hadn't taken a photo of the beast; all Mulder and Scully had to go on was the sketch drawn from the couple's memories, and it looked like a spiny creature with several horns on its head (and one or three eyes). A working girl who later saw the monster told Mulder and Scully that it did look like the drawing but it had two eyes (and was wearing white underwear). This episode was filled with plenty of Easter eggs for "X-Files" fans, and it started with the stoner couple. They were portrayed by Tyler Labine and Nicole Parker Smith, who had played similar characters in earlier episodes of the series, "War of the Coprophages" and "Quagmire" from 1996.

From Quiz "X-Files" 2016 Miniseries

Answer: Our Lady of Sorrows Hospital

She was working where we last saw her (in a faith based hospital), in the 2008 feature film "The X Files: I Want to Believe". The hospital, not the same one, was located in Washington D.C. and Scully was washing her hands before a surgery, when a nurse entered to tell her she had a call. Skinner was looking for Mulder, whom he did not know how to reach. Scully called him and let him know. In the second episode, she revealed she'd been working at this particular hospital seven years. Later on in this season, Mulder have Skinner his phone number. The episode started off with Mulder talking about his life long obsession with UFO and abduction phenomenon. Then we were shown a UFO crashing in the desert of New Mexico in 1947.

From Quiz 10.1 "My Struggle"

Answer: Host of a conspiracy theory show

Tad O'Malley met Mulder and Scully in downtown Washington DC and gave them a ride in his bullet-proof limousine. Mulder asked him, "How's a man with your conservative credentials count himself a believer in UFOs and 9/11 false flag conspiracies?" and told him that he thought O'Malley's show was "'The O'Reilly Factor' with a shopworn little gimmick". O'Malley responded that, "What Bill O'Reilly knows about the truth could fill an eye-dropper". He told Mulder that he was a true believer and was working on a case that would "blow open the most evil conspiracy the world has ever known" but he needed Mulder's help.

From Quiz 10.3 Mulder and Scully Meet the Were-Monster

Answer: A portable toilet

The creature had knocked Mulder to the ground and as Scully kneeled next to him, they saw the creature running on the other side of a truck. When they came around the corner of the vehicle, they saw the door close on the portable toilet and headed that way. Mulder opened the door and immediately snapped a photo. But instead of the monster, they found Guy Mann (Rhys Darby) inside using the facilities: "A bit of privacy, please!". They left, but when Guy came out of the toilet, horns were visible on the back of his head (before they were absorbed into his hair). At least one reviewer of the show believed that the portable toilet in this scene was an Easter egg for fans because in the 1994 episode, "The Host", the monster-of-the-week hid in a portable toilet. The monster in that episode was called the Flukeman and he was played by Darin Morgan.

From Quiz "X-Files" 2016 Miniseries

Answer: Joel McHale

Scully told Mulder about this man Tad, and how Skinner wanted to know if Mulder was interested in meeting him. Mulder told Scully to let Skinner know he could set up a meeting. Scully met Mulder outside near a street, they exchanged a small greeting, and then Tad pulled up in a limo. He offered them champagne and they both declined. He was host of the web series "Truth Squad" and turned out to be even more paranoid than Mulder. Joel McHale may be better known for his comedic talents on shows like "Talk Soup" and "Community".

From Quiz 10.1 "My Struggle"

Answer: He had interviewed her when she was young.

O'Malley drove them to a remote house in an area called Low Moor, Virginia. "Aliens couldn't find this place", Scully sarcastically remarked. They met a young woman named Sveta, whom O'Malley said had asked him to contact Mulder and Scully. When Mulder asked her how she knew about them, she said that she had met him, but he probably wouldn't recognize her. "No, I think I'd remember", Mulder said as she was quite pretty. Sveta told him that he had interviewed her and her family when she was a young girl, "Right after my first abduction". She told them that she had been abducted many times, and had been impregnated many times but "the aliens take the babies before they are born".

From Quiz 10.3 Mulder and Scully Meet the Were-Monster

Answer: Cell phone camera

Mulder had a new camera app and was having trouble getting it to work correctly. When they first heard the monster while they were at the truck stop, Mulder whipped out the camera and started taking continuous photos, to Scully's annoyance. As Scully stopped to check on a body they found, Mulder spotted the creature running away and chased after it, snapping endless pictures in the hopes of getting a good shot. He ran into the animal control officer, who like Scully asked, "WHAT is up with your phone?" The guy tried to help Mulder, "Go to settings..." but they were interrupted by the monster who ran right between them while Mulder snapped away. He told Scully that he got a picture, and he later showed her several out of focus shots and a video, which showed him screaming. "Mulder, you've got the lens pointed the wrong way", Scully lamented.

From Quiz 10.1 "My Struggle"

Answer: An alien

The doctor and soldiers were following a trail of "blood" that led into the wilderness when they found an alien dragging itself away from the crash site. The "man in black" who had accompanied the doctor at the site shot the alien with a pistol, claiming that it could be dangerous, and then the other soldiers opened fire. The doctor screamed in horror, "What have you done?" He later carried the body away. When the "man in black" asked him where he was going "with that thing", the doctor said that he was "a man of medicine" and asked why the man had brought him there if he didn't want him to help.

From Quiz 10.3 Mulder and Scully Meet the Were-Monster

Answer: Animal heads on the wall

Mulder was resting on his bed when he heard a man screaming "Monster! Help me!" When Mulder went to investigate, the motel manager claimed it was a guest who was yelling about his bill. Mulder didn't buy it, and when he left the office, he went into the guest's room, which was open and slightly ransacked. He noticed the animal head lying on the floor, and when he picked it up, he saw that the eyes had been cut out and there was a hole on the wall where the head had been mounted. When he pulled on the hole, a door opened into a hallway that ran between the rooms. He was able to look through various animal heads into the rooms of the guests. When he looked into Scully's room, Fox Mulder was looking through the eyes of a fox - nice touch! The motel owner claimed that the hallway was a "security feature", but after Mulder said he wasn't going to report the man to the authorities, the man told him what he had seen. Mulder showed him the drawing of the monster and the photo of the man from the portable toilet, and the motel owner confirmed that they were the same being. Mulder then went to Scully's room to excitedly share the news about the monster with her. "Yeah, this is how I like my Mulder", responded Scully before calling him crazy. The motel owner was played by Alex Diakun, who had appeared in other "X-Files" episodes written by Darin Morgan ("Humbug", "Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose" and "Jose Chung's 'From Outer Space'"). He was also in the second "X-Files" film in 2008. Another Easter egg for fans was the scene of Mulder sleeping in a red Speedo; Mulder had appeared in the same attire in the 1994 episode, "Duane Barry".

From Quiz "X-Files" 2016 Miniseries

Answer: Letter opener

He was locked in the room, and security was so high for the servers that his colleagues could not get inside in time to save him. He had accessed the servers and was looking for something, all while hearing voices. Just before they could drill out the lock, he wrote something on his hand and shoved a letter opener inside his ear. Scully referenced the letter opener on scene and during her autopsy of Dr. Sanjay. He'd written "Founder's Mutation" on his hand. He also told his friend Gupta that his "kids were dying" before he killed himself. Beautiful Canadian actor Christopher Logan played Sanjay. This episode premiered on January 25, 2016. It was written and directed by James Wong. He also directed the season four episode "Musings of a Cigarette Smoking Man", and wrote over fifteen episodes for the series.

From Quiz 10.1 "My Struggle"

Answer: Alien Replica Vehicle

"I was right about one thing - conspiracies have made you a very rich man," Mulder said when he saw the helicopter. When they arrived at the site (and O'Malley removed the cloth bag that had been put over Mulder's head), O'Malley asked him if he knew what an ARV was. "That's an alien replica vehicle?" asked Mulder, indicating the item they were approaching. O'Malley introduced him to Garner, who was surprised that Mulder had never seen an ARV "given his background". For the first time in the episode, Mulder looked truly engaged and excited. He watched the vehicle hover about six feet off the ground, running on "zero-point energy, simply the energy of the universe". O'Malley said that the government had had that energy knowledge since the 1940s, but as Mulder pointed out "oil companies [were] making trillions" during that period. Mulder then watched as the ARV disappeared, which Garner said was due to element 150, unpentnilium.

From Quiz 10.3 Mulder and Scully Meet the Were-Monster

Answer: Cell phone store

Mulder had found a cell phone bag in Guy Mann's hotel room but didn't realize that Guy worked at the store, "Smart Phones is Us". Mulder found out when Scully called him as she was standing outside the store window: "I think I just found your horny toad lizard-man". Scully didn't wait for Mulder to get there; she went into the store and asked Guy if she could ask him some questions. When Mulder arrived, he found Scully standing in a ransacked store. Scully said that after she asked the man if she could ask him some questions, he said that he quit, ransacked the store and fled out the back door. Scully tried to explain that she had received the lab results from the earlier attacks, but Mulder took off to find Guy Mann.

From Quiz "X-Files" 2016 Miniseries

Answer: He'd been bitten by a human man

He'd been an ordinary man sized lizard who could project blood from his eyes. Then, one evening a couple of human men happened upon him in the forest and one of them bit him on the neck. The next morning, he woke up not as a lizard, but as a human male. He hated it, the self awareness and face he did not recognize. Mulder saw him turn from human to lizard, as he was getting ready to go into hibernation for 10,000 years. The killer, and person who turned the lizard into Guy Mann, was Pasha (the animal control worker). Kumail Nanjiani played Pasha, and starred on the series "Silicon Valley" as well. This episode premiered on February 1, 2016. It was written and directed by Darin Morgan. He had previously written five other episodes of the series. Rhys Darby played Guy Mann, aka the were-lizard. In the cemetery scene, Guy was standing in front of a grave stone with the name Jack Hardy carved on it, and Mulder was standing in front of one with Kim Manners carved on it. Jack was the first assistant director on the 2008 "X-Files" feature film and worked on both "The Lone Gunmen" and "Millennium", spin-offs of the show. He passed away in March 2015. Kim Manners worked extensively on "The X-Files", as well as "Supernatural", until his death in January 2009. His brother, Kelly Manners, worked on "Buffy" and "Angel". Other Easter Eggs in this episode - the red Speedo that Mulder wore in season two's "Duane Barry" could be seen on him when he was sleeping in his motel room; Mulder's ringtone was the "X-Files" theme song; and actors Tyler Labine and Nicole Parker Smith, who previously appeared as the same stoner characters in two other episodes from season three.

From Quiz 10.1 "My Struggle"

Answer: Alien DNA

When they first met Sveta, she claimed to have alien DNA so Mulder asked Scully to run a test. Sveta told Scully that she could read people's minds and move things, but when Scully asked her to demonstrate, she said that it wasn't something she could control. She did demonstrate her mind reading skills, telling Scully that she knew that Mulder and Scully had been a couple and had a child, but that Mulder's depression came between them. After Sveta told her that Scully didn't know what it was like to be abducted, Sveta paused and then said, "Maybe you do". Later, given her own history with abduction, Scully decided to test her own blood. Tad O'Malley showed up at the hospital while she was withdrawing the blood, and when he asked her if she was testing for alien DNA, she told him it was for high cholesterol.

From Quiz 10.3 Mulder and Scully Meet the Were-Monster

Answer: Cemetery

Mulder had found a pill bottle in Guy's hotel room, and when he talked to the psychiatrist that prescribed it, the doctor told Mulder that he had recommended that Guy "go for a quiet stroll in the local cemetery" the next time he felt an episode coming on. So Mulder took a chance that Guy might have gone to the cemetery after he ran away from Scully. He did find Guy there and convinced him to tell his story, and what a story it was! It turned out that Guy wasn't a man who turned into a lizard but rather a lizard who turned into a man after being bit by a human. He explained that the next morning, he awoke as a naked man, so he put on the clothes of one of the victims and became obsessed with doing human things, like getting a job, being miserable at his job and lying about his sex life. The gravestones that Mulder and Guy Mann were standing by were special. Mulder was standing next to a gravestone with the name of Kim Manners, who directed over fifty "X-Files" episodes. Guy was standing next to a tombstone with the name of Jack Hardy, who was the assistant director of the second "X-Files" film and Chris Carter's series "Millennium" and "The Lone Gunmen".

From Quiz "X-Files" 2016 Miniseries

Answer: Tulpa

The creature would come to the intended victims and rip them apart. It was known as the Band-Aid Nose Man, and created out of clay. This kind of creature is similar to a Golem. Mulder and Scully first encountered a Tulpa in the season six episode "Arcadia". Also in this episode, Dana's mother died after a heart attack. She awoke briefly when she heard the voice of her son Charlie, looked at Mulder and said, "My son is named William too". This episode premiered on February 8, 2016. It was written and directed by Glen Morgan. Glen had previously written quite a few episodes of the series, as well as episodes of both "The Lone Gunmen" and "Millennium". Musician Tim Armstrong played Trash Man and John DeSantis played the Tulpa. DeSantis also played a Golem on "Supernatural".

From Quiz 10.1 "My Struggle"

Answer: Men had taken her, not aliens

Mulder went back to see Sveta, and he asked her about the interview they had earlier. He had seen her look at Tad O'Malley before she answered questions about her abductions and pregnancies. She said that she didn't believe it was aliens who had abducted her. She said it was men, and that she saw their faces. She told Mulder that she couldn't tell anyone because she didn't know whom to trust, and when Mulder said that she could trust him, she pointed out that he worked for the government and asked him if he wondered "if they were lying to you too?"

From Quiz 10.3 Mulder and Scully Meet the Were-Monster

Answer: The X-Files Theme

When Mulder first approached Guy Mann in the cemetery, Guy was drinking out of a bottle in a paper bag. He offered it to Mulder, but Mulder declined. That bottle ended up getting smashed against a gravestone when Guy tried to use it to trick Mulder into killing him. After Mulder talked Guy into telling his story, Guy offered him another bottle, saying that he would need it, but it turned out that Mulder had brought his own bottle in his coat. After Guy left, Mulder sat down and started drinking. He ended up nearly drinking both bottles and was passed out in the graveyard when his phone started ringing with the familiar song! Guy's outfit may have been familiar to anyone who watched the 1970s series "Kolchak: The Night Stalker". Darrin McGavin's character wore a similar ensemble in the show, and Chris Carter claimed that show was one of the inspirations for "The X-Files". Darin Morgan also worked on the 2005 version of "The Night Stalker".

From Quiz 10.1 "My Struggle"

Answer: Pencils

Mulder had a habit of tossing pencils at the ceiling like darts, and even though the room was pretty much cleared out, the pencils - more than twenty of them - remained. Mulder had come to the office looking for the old X-Files which were gone, although Skinner claimed that no one had been down to the office since Mulder had left fourteen years ago. Mulder said he needed access to the files to get answers. He told Skinner that he had wasted ten years of his life in that office "and all the time I was being led by my nose through a dark alley to a dead end, exactly as they planned", and he told Skinner "I'm sure they lied to you too".

From Quiz 10.3 Mulder and Scully Meet the Were-Monster

Answer: The animal control officer

Scully called Mulder from the animal shelter and told him she was waiting to see the animal control officer. Mulder was scanning the pictures on his phone while he talked to her, and when he got to the picture of the creature, he saw that it had a bite mark on it. This matched the story that Guy Mann had told him; Guy claimed he was resting in the forest when he was attacked and bitten. Mulder realized that the animal control officer wasn't the victim in the forest but the attacker. While they were talking on the phone, the animal control officer attacked Scully so Mulder called for backup while he headed to the shelter. When Mulder arrived with the police, he found that Scully had the man in custody. It turned out that she knew the animal control officer was the killer; she had discovered that the victims had been strangled and had checked his animal restraint pole that he had left at the truck stop for DNA residue. Mulder reprimanded Scully: "That is the second time you've approached a dangerous suspect without backup". "You forget, I'm immortal", Scully reminded him. The animal control officer was played by "X-Files" fan Kumail Nanjiani (from the show "Silicon Valley") who began hosting a weekly "The X-Files Files" podcast in 2014. An Easter egg for fans was Scully's "I'm immortal" quote. This referred back to the 1995 episode "Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose" in which an insurance salesman was able to see how people die. When Scully asked him how she died, he said that she didn't.

From Quiz 10.1 "My Struggle"

Answer: The doctor from Roswell

The doctor from Roswell had apparently contacted Mulder ten years earlier because he "couldn't take [his] secrets to the grave" and told him that if Mulder ever "put the pieces together that [he] would confirm" it. Mulder said he "was being cleverly manipulated" in the past, but now he had met someone and seen something that he felt made him aware of the truth. He said that the abductions were claimed to be alien abductions, but they were actually abductions by men so that the alien technology could be tested: "Alien technology being used against us, not by aliens, not with aliens, but by a venial conspiracy of men against humanity". Mulder asked him what the tests were for, and the doctor responded, "You tell me, Mr. Mulder". He told Mulder, "You're nearly there. You're close". The doctor had one final comment, "Roswell. That was a smoke screen".

From Quiz 10.3 Mulder and Scully Meet the Were-Monster

Answer: A dog

When Guy Mann was telling Mulder his story at the cemetery, he said that he did something insane - he got a puppy and named him Daggoo: "I quickly realized that the only way to be happy as a human was to spend all of your time in the company of non-humans". But the puppy got out of the hotel room, and it was when Guy was out looking for the dog that he ran into Mulder and Scully at the truck stop. Daggoo ended up at the animal shelter, and while Scully was talking on the phone to Mulder, the dog bit her. This didn't put her off though; when Mulder ran off to find Guy, Scully looked at the puppy in the cage and said, "Hey buddy, you want to come home with me?" The name "Daggoo" came from the book "Moby Dick", as did the name "Queequeg" which was the name of the dog that Scully adopted in the 1995 episode "Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose" and lost in the 1996 episode "Quagmire".

From Quiz "X-Files" 2016 Miniseries

Answer: Monica Reyes

Annabeth Gish returned as Monica Reyes. She told Scully that Scully's abduction had left her protected, that Scully was one of the "chosen". She admitted she'd taken a deal ten years earlier from the CSM to become one of the chosen as well. The human eradication had begun in 2012, and Reyes believed there would be no stopping it. Meanwhile, Tad O'Malley was back online warning people of this very conspiracy as Mulder made his way to dear old dad.

From Quiz 10.1 "My Struggle"

Answer: Her car was blown up with her in it.

Mulder, Scully, and Tad O'Malley all convened at Sveta's house where Mulder told them that the alien abductions were a lie, and then O'Malley explained that the ploy was developed so that a group of men could take control of the country and eventually the world by controlling food, drugs, healthcare, militarizing the police, etc. and that the populace would be controlled out of fear by simulating an alien invasion. Scully told them they were crazy; they couldn't make the wild allegations public. But O'Malley did just that, and things imploded. Sveta was seen on television, telling the press that O'Malley had paid her to tell the stories about alien abductions. Mulder said "They got to her"; he went to her house but she was gone. The Alien Replica Vehicle was destroyed; Army vehicles entered the hangar where the ARV was, soldiers got out, knocked down the men working there and then blew up the ARV, killing the men with it. When Scully checked O'Malley's website later, it was down. Scully told Mulder that they needed to find Sveta and protect her. She told Mulder she re-ran Sveta's blood tests and sequenced the entire genome and that she did the same to her own DNA. When Mulder asked her what she was saying, she responded, "She's not the only one". She didn't say for certain that there was alien DNA, but she said "someone needs to stop these [men]". Mulder then received a text from Skinner telling him that he needed to see both of them ASAP. Sveta, meanwhile, was driving down a deserted road when her vehicle died. A beam of light from an ARV shined down on her through her sun roof. As she opened the door to escape, the car blew up and the ARV flew away.

From Quiz 10.3 Mulder and Scully Meet the Were-Monster

Answer: He returned to the forest to hibernate.

After leaving the animal shelter, Mulder somehow managed to find Guy in the middle of the forest, where he was walking along, removing his clothes. He explained to Mulder that it was time for "his kind" to go into hibernation, and when Mulder said that he didn't think reptiles hibernated, Guy responded, "Whoa! I'm not a reptile - that's racist!" Guy told Mulder that he would be hibernating for 10,000 years, which Mulder said wasn't possible. Guy then complained that Mulder didn't believe him, and Mulder responded, "I want to believe!" But when Guy shook Mulder's hand, he morphed back into a lizard and ran off into the woods, leaving Mulder with a smile on his face.

From Quiz "X-Files" 2016 Miniseries

Answer: Spartan

Scully had the alien DNA required to fight off this virus. Tad O'Malley reported that it was being let lose en mass using chemical contrails from planes. She and Agent Einstein figured it out together, that the smallpox vaccine had made most humans and their descendants vulnerable to Spartan, by injecting something into their human DNA that would allow Spartan to turn off their immune systems. So, people were getting sick from illnesses long cured or currently curable. She made a vaccine and used it on Einstein first. Then she went to Agent Miller and Mulder to save them. But, she realized Mulder was too far gone and needed stem cells from their son William. But, she had no idea where William was located. Just then, from above came a beam of light from what appeared to be an alien craft. That was how the miniseries/season ten came to a close, on a cliffhanger. This episode premiered on February 22, 2016. It was directed by Chris Carter, teleplay by Chris Carter, and story idea from Dr. Anne Simon and Dr. Margaret Fearon. Captain Trips is the virus from Stephen King's "The Stand", The Flare is from the "Maze Runner" series, and Greyscale is from George R.R. Martin's book series "A Song of Ice and Fire" from which the series "Game of Thrones" is based.
