In this ep, Mulder is revealed to be red/green
colorblind. What exactly does this mean? When he
looks at Scully's hair, does it look gray or green
or what? At any rate, according to the Official
FBI Web Site, special agents (as opposed to boring
agents, of course) have to pass a color vision
test. (And it's none of your business what I was
doing on the Career Opportunitys page.)

My dh is colorblind. Red/green colorblindness is the most common. Rarely do people see only in black and white. There are degrees of red/green colorblindness. For my husband, everything that is either red or green looks brown in varying shades. So Scully's hair would look brown. Or he might call it "blonde" since it's fairly light. My dh can distinguish traffic lights. It does seem to me that it would be difficult to be any type of law enforcement officer if you had any degree of color blindness. How could you recognize a suspect, ie what he is wearing?

I found this episode to actually be more worrisome than the usual MotW eps, because of the realm of possibility it presents (however slight it may be). I believe there's already a measurable level of control through television as it is...

Fox got a clear view of the cable van's license plate, but didn't follow up on it for some reason. That's the sort of thing he would remember.

Similar to the previous ep, the slide on Scully's sidearm locked back prematurely, except this time it was after only four shots as opposed to six by Mulder's last time.

If it was Mr. X's intention for Mulder to solve the case before he killed the doc and cable guy, why did he still shoot them likely knowing Fox was nearby? Alternatively, since mistaking Scully's body for some other poor victim was clearly a ruse to slow Mulder down, why didn't Mr. X's cohort simply tell him that it wasn't her?
