I first started watching "The X-Files" regularly around the third season and I have very clear recollections of this episode. I still think it's interesting to see Giovanni Ribisi and Jack Black in the same episode, basically as the characters that they would play variations of their whole career.

A clear sign that I play too many video games:

As Mulder is lookign around the arcade, a lot of video game music can be heard playing. Now, the creators were nice enough to actually record REAL video game soundtracks rather than just some random beeps, but they produced a nit in the process. Amid all the noise, one can clearly hear some music from Sonic The Hedghog, a game that was only released on Sega Genesis. Why would an arcade go through all the trouble of setting up a Genesis in the arcade to play Sonic when anyone can pick up a used copy for a few bucks and play it at home? (maybe they're just playing a "NOW That's What I Call Video Games!" compilation over the speakers or something?)

Blitz, actually there is a bit of history of console games getting put in specialized arcade machines. The Nintendo Playchoice-10 are a known example. Its not at all unlikely that there might be an actual Sonic the Hedgehog arcade machine.

NANJO: Although Scully sarcastically tells Mulder to "jump in anytime" after getting told off by the sheriff at the beginning of the ep one has to wonder why neither agent tried to defend or explain their position to an overbearing local?

It's fairly rare to see it done properly in movies/TV, but when the EMTs were using the defib on Mr. Kiveat the paddles were on the opposite side of the body to where they should be.

Despite a lack of tangible evidence, M & S were well within their rights to shoot DPO in/near the hospital. If they had, the sheriff would still be alive and Mrs. Kiveat wouldn't have to live in fear of Oswald getting released, since the psych ward could find no symptoms of mental illness.

The OK town this all takes place in apparently has a 'lightening laboratory' a mile away from where Oswald lives yet, M & S never go to visit it for some reason (blow the budget on effects instead?).
