[edit] Background Information
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
[edit] Continuity
- In contrast to the birthdate listed on Samantha Mulder's biography (referenced to in the episode "Conduit"), Samantha's birthdate is noted as being on November 21, 1965 on her medical file, in this episode. Her middle name is also noted as "Ann" on the file, which contradicts her biography as well.
- Mulder and Scully are directed to the "Strughold" Mining Facility by Victor Klemper, where they discover evidence of the government conducting experiments on the public. It is unclear whether this facility is connected to Conrad Strughold, who is depcited as the leader of the Syndicate in X-Files: Fight the Future. Also, Dr. Hubertus Strughold was a Nazi medical researcher who emigrated to the U.S. as part of the Operation Paperclip. His experiments were similar to those described by Victor Klemper in this episode.
