Trivia
The character of Phoebe Green was originally intended to be a recurring role because Chris Carter admired actress Amanda Pays and he liked working Sherlock Holmes references into the script. But the fan reaction to this rival to Scully proved so strong that this idea was swiftly dropped.

Goofs
Phoebe Green mentions having a "certain youthful indiscretions atop Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's tombstone on a misty night in Windlesham" with Fox Mulder. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was buried in Windlesham but was reburied in Minstead in 1955.

Quotes
Mulder: I was merely extending her a professional courtesy.
Scully: Oh is that what you were extending?

We don't talk like that.

I'm going through the Xfiles and enjoying them. Some more than others, but this episode was just wrong. English people do not talk and act like that. It's like it's the 1940s talking like the bloody queen. I'm English and I found it annoying. Worse episode so far for me.
