Trivia
The song playing the first time Duane Barry is seen is "Red Right Hand" performed by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds. This song is also one of the more popular ones showcased in the movie Dumb and Dumber (1994), which hit theaters the same year that this episode aired, 1994. It's since been used in such popular works as Scream (1996) and used as the opening theme for Peaky Blinders (2013).

Goofs
Towards the end of this episode, when asked about the cross Scully wears, Dana's mom states "I gave it to her on her 15th Birthday." However, a flashback in a later episode reveals she actually received it as a Christmas present.

Quotes

Fox Mulder: What can you do about it?
Walter Skinner: There's only one thing I can do, Agent Mulder. As of right now, I'm reopening the X Files. That's what they fear the most.
