Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis is not the first time Mulder is seen wearing glasses. In Pilot (1993), Mulder is down in his office and has glasses on, plus a pocket protector. However, those were myopia glasses, while now he's wearing presbyopia ones, which mark the passage of time and how he's grown older.
- GoofsWhen Mulder and Scully leave the church they find that three steel piles were detached from the church's fence near the entrance just at the sidewalk. It makes no sense for Juliet to remove those piles right at the entrance and moreover to remove three piles just beside each other. This way everybody can easily spot the missing piles just by walking at the sidewalk next to the church and while removing them she must be extra cautious not to get spotted.
- Quotes
[last lines]
Fox Mulder: Well, what are you talking about, Scully? Because I don't know if any god is listening, but I am standing right here. And I am listening. Right beside you. I'm all ears. That's my choice.
Dana Scully: [looks around church to see that they are alone, whispers something inaudible in his ear, then continues talking in normal voice as he mentally processes what she whispered] That's not my four-year-old self looking for a miracle. That's my leap of faith forward. And I'd like to do it together.
Fox Mulder: [he nods] I've always wondered how this was gonna end.
[he reaches for a taper and lights another prayer candle]
- Crazy creditsAfter the opening credits, the tagline "I Want to Be Beautiful" is in place of the traditional "The Truth Is Out There" tagline.
- ConnectionsReferences Dragnet (1951)
The story about eternal youth and beauty intertwined with faith and you get pretty nothing.
Plus, I could not help but wonder if the episode was kind of a mockery towards Scully/Gillian and all her botox/surgeries or whatever she had to look younger.
6 from me.
