Episode Quotes
 
Scully: Well, maybe the exposure affected his mind. Nonsensical repetitive behavior is a common trait of mental illness.
Mulder: You trying to tell me something?
 
Scully: Let's ignore for a moment that there's no credible theory to support spontaneous human combustion.
Mulder: Okay....
 
 
Episode Goofs
 
Banton's shadow can go under the door.
 
Kelly Ryan is vaporized into ash but there is a coffin at the funeral.
 
Dr. Banton unscrews burning light bulbs without so much as a wince. Burning light bulbs get awfully hot...
 
During the scene in the train station, one of the cars reads VIA Rail. That only runs in Canada.
 
When someone stepped into Banton's shadow, they were vaporized along with their clothes. So why wasn't the floor (among other things) vaporized when it came into contact?
