[x] Remove Ad
Mulder receives a tip from an unknown informant about a case where a man murdered several people, believing that all of them were the same person. In the same neighborhood several weeks prior, a similar murder scenario had occurred. When Mulder and Scully investigate the man's house, they find hundreds of VHS tapes with cable program recorded on them.

Episode Goofs |
| |
As Mulder views the tapes in his hotel room, the TV is shown with the image on the screen being fast forward. However, it's kind of hard to fast forward a tape when the tape hasn't even been pushed into the VCR slot. Instead, the label of the VHS tape can be seen on the lip of the VCR.
| In this episode Mulder says he is colour blind, however people who are colour blind can not join the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
| In one of the scene, Scully knocked a few tapes to the floor when she was searching behind the TV, but in the next scene they were neatly stacked again.
| Scully's mother had pictures of Dana and possibly of her sister Melissa as young girls, but there are no photographs of her sons.
| When Scully fired the five rounds, there are five shots on the soundtrack, but it looks like she pulls the trigger six times.
| Law enforcement officers are taught to always lock their vehicles when exiting, yet Mulder carelessly leaves the windows open, rolled all the way down.
| If Skinner and his men were conducting a manhunt for Scully, as if searching for an escaped convict, why wasn't her mother's house under surveillance?
| In the past, Mulder was able to tell the difference between green alien blood and red human blood, making his color blindness in this episode a convenient plot device to explain why he is immune to the mind-controlling subliminal TV signals. Perhaps it would've been easier if the hotel manager merely said that one of the rooms had a black-and-white TV, and Mulder took that room.
| It is a big assumption on Mulder's part to accuse Mr. X of being a coward and never putting his life on the line. Mulder knows nothing of his shadowy informant, and what's more, Mr. X gets into his share of scrapes: Check "End Game," "731," and "Soft Light."
