Synopsis [ ]

The episode explores "the idea of The Mandela Issue, in which large groups of people recall an alternate history, Mulder and Scully find out how the X-Files themselves may really have originated.

Summary [ ]

After turning down Scully for dinner, Mulder receives a bespeak to come across someone. In the parking lot, he meets a man named Reggie who claims to know him. The man claims that someone is trying to erase him from society and to prove his bespeak refers to Mulder's childhood memory of watching The Twilight Zone episode "The Lost Martian" (which in reality is non-existent), to Mulder's surprise. Scully later matches his disbelief when Reggie (now going by the final name "Something") gives her a container of a blood-red-flavored Jell-O rip off make chosen Goop-O A-B-C, which she remembers from her childhood. Mulder and Scully, and somewhen Reggie, contend over whether these events are an example of the Mandela Effect or as Reggie refers to information technology, the Mengele Result. Mulder and Scully are shocked to retrieve that Reggie Something was formerly a member of the X-Files squad, and in fact started working on them alongside Mulder and was in that location on the day in 1993 when Dr. Dana Scully arrived in the basement office. After going over their past cases (with Reggie now part of many iconic past moments from the serial), they learn that the "they" Reggie keeps screaming nearly equally the orchestrator is a retentivity-manipulating cretin named Dr. They. He not simply meets with Mulder but does so in an obvious public place, explaining somewhat cheerfully that the age of people covering up their sins is over and Mulder should just "believe what you desire to believe–that's what everybody does now anyhow". Dr. They besides appears to threaten Mulder when he says "you lot're dead" but then grins and says that he ways Mulder's purpose via the X-Files and chasing down conspiracies is dead.

Reggie is revealed to be a longtime government employee turned mental-ward patient named Reggie Murgatroyd, whose past besides the Ten-Files included existence a lethal drone pilot, waterboarding terrorists, working IRS forms longhand, and sleeping through a stint equally a fraud detection officer. Finally, the three of them come up to their last X-Files case together: an encounter with a Trump-similar alien who brings the remnants of the Voyager spacecraft and says that humanity is horrible and the rest of the universe has banded together to build a wall in outer infinite that volition prevent mankind from ever getting near them. The conflicting says that despite some expert people, human being beings are unique in the atypical negative sense that they constantly prevarication. He gives Mulder a volume with "all the answers" and wishes them a less-than-addicted bye and good riddance. Mulder is apparently distraught with the idea of there being no more than answers to seek and breaks downward into a childish tantrum as Reggie and Scully embrace. In the nowadays, Reggie is taken back to the mental institution; as Skinner witnesses this, he apparently recognizes Reggie and asks why he'south existence taken away, much to Mulder and Scully'due south surprise.

Dorsum at Mulder'south house, they watch "The Lost Martian" after Mulder figures out it was a existent episode from a inexpensive sci-fi knockoff testify, and but equally Scully begins to eat some Goop-O, she stops and she says "I want to remember how it all was".

Groundwork Data [ ]

  • By episodes were recreated using Reggie past compositing actor Brian Huskey into scenes from the episodes "Pilot ", "Teso Dos Bichos", "Tooms", "Abode, Pennsylvania ", "Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose" and"Modest Potatoes", as well equally a shot from "Squeeze" in the amended championship sequence.
  • Darin Morgan on recreating onetime scenes: "Well, that was the terminal thing I wrote. My script was due, so at like 3 in the morning, I was going through erstwhile episodes. [Laughs] I thought it would be much easier than it turned out to be. Some of the episodes that I idea I was going to apply, or certain scenes that I wanted to use that were famous for fans, the problem was those scenes, I remembered them incorrectly. Which I guess is in keeping with the theme of the episode. But so many of the important scenes are played out in tight close-ups between Mulder and Scully. There was no identify to fit Reggie in. And then I ended up [choosing] certain episodes, and how I could fit Reggie into a item shot sort of dictated information technology. And like I said, it was like 4 in the forenoon, so I concluded upward picking a handful and letting it go at that."[1]
  • On the Twilight Zone references: "The final thing I wanted to ask y'all about was that final scene with the alien on the Segway, where you reference the Twilight Zone episode "To Serve Homo." That's where the episode goes into total farce. Walk me through how that scene came together." "The almost interesting affair with that was that information technology was non intended to be on the little scooter. The player [who played the conflicting] was in full makeup and costume when nosotros started setting up the lighting and stuff, and that's his own little scooter. That'southward how he gets effectually. He was riding around on that thing, and information technology simply looked hysterical. I grabbed the DP, Greg, and I go, "Greg, we gotta utilize this. It just looks as well funny." Then that was sort of an unexpected special treat. When we were shooting that, I couldn't stop laughing. Fortunately, the alien speaks telepathically, so information technology didn't matter that I was ruining takes by laughing. That made it all worth it, just to shoot that thing. Usually shooting this stuff is really hard, but shooting that scene… I haven't laughed that hard in a long time." [two]
  • In the episode "Unusual Suspects" from Season 5 in a fourth dimension earlier the events of the bear witness, Mulder answers the phone and greets a man named "Reg". Reggie from this episode claims, he worked with Mulder even before he met Scully. It is possible, the authors named Reggie after that human on the phone.
