Nitting the guide: Phil says that three guards follow the truck and turn around. But when they turn around, we can see there .. are ... four ... guards! (Pick, pick, pick.)

Wouldn't it make sense for Mulder to put on the seatbelt when it looks as if the truck is about to crash?

Or does he know that his charmed life/ Hero protection also covers car accidents?

When Mulder says in his cell he can't die from the black oil, I said "Because he's a hero! (and heroes don't die! )

I recently re-watched this ep and I wondered how that elderly Russian guy was able to get into a sealed NASA lab so easily, administer a shot, and steal that fragment without notice? Also, why did he have to go to Canada to return the fragment back into the ground? I missed the reasoning for that. It also seems like international and domestic travel happened quite fast, but that's fairly normal in this show.

Not only that, but why didn't he at least attempt to steer the truck in a safer direction, such as the opposite way he went?

My apologies for mentioning something that Phil pointed out in the Guide, Peskov accessing the NASA lab seemingly unchallenged, but I had not yet purchased it by my previous post. The other questions; however, are still unanswered by yet another rewatch.

In this ep Scully seems to have switched her sidearm back to a Sig Sauer from her previously used S&W.

At the end CSM seems unconcerned that a large chunck of ash fell onto his clothing before he tossed Scully's 'evidence' into the trash.
