Storyline

- TriviaAccording to Gillian Anderson, her daughter Piper Anderson-Klotz drew the drawing of the horned monster that Mulder is showing everybody during the whole episode.
- GoofsIn the opening scene in his office, Mulder tosses a pencil that sticks in the "I Want to Believe" poster. At that point, a total of six pencils may be seen sticking out of the poster, including the one he just threw, which is directly below the flying saucer. When Mulder gets up to remove all the pencils a moment later, there are seven total pencils: one above the right side of the saucer where there was none to be seen before (although there were a bunch of holes at that spot in the poster in the earlier shot), and none directly below the saucer where we just saw him toss and stick one.
- Quotes
Fox Mulder: It shot blood at me. From its eye, Scully... I think. It was hard for me to see because I had blood in my eyes.
Dana Scully: I haven't done a blood analysis yet, but it's probably residue from the prior attack on this victim. And animals don't shoot blood out of their eyeballs.
Fox Mulder: Oh, no? Well, tell that to the horned lizard, which shoots blood out its eyeball, Scully, yes. It's a defense mechanism. Scientific fact!
Dana Scully: Mulder, the Internet is not good for you.

Now Darin's back and he's done another masterpiece. This is a perfect hour of television. New fans will likely laugh and recgonize how smart the script is, but only people who saw the original run, at least Morgan's episodes in third season, will recgonize the great references to some of the show finest moments - like Scully talking about Queequeg , the homage to Kim Manners, the X-Files ringbell and my favourite, Scully saying she is immortal, just like Clyde Bruckman said in maybe the finest episode of the series back in the third season.
The episode deals with existentialism in a brilliant manner. Mulder's midlife crisis is incredibly funny - he attempting to use new tecnhology is hilarious. The threatment to the transgender girl is certainly respectful and appropriate. The whole commentary about transformation and how awful a human being can be much more awful than a monster is pure genius.
It's a masterpiece of a script, written an outstanding writer who, back in the day, made 4 masterpieces, won an Emmy and disappeared completely from the spotlights.
It's funny, it's heartbreaking, it's smart and it will you touch you in a very emotional way.
