widescreen format. The entire episode takes place in real
and simultaneous time, meaning that the entire episode
takes place in 47 minutes. The episode, which takes place
in the past, has simultaneous action in 1998. It was filmed
in continuous shots, like in Rope, each 10 or
more minutes long. No cutting or editing within the
shots. This means that the camera moves around a lot.
- Mulder gets caught in the
Bermuda Triangle during an investigation and finds
himself on a ship stuck in 1939 and full of Nazis. It
could happen.

mirrors (think "Mirror, Mirror" from Star

Spender are Nazis and speak German. Mulder has an affair
with a woman who mysteriously looks a lot like Scully, and there is a kiss.
