The X-Philes' Nitpicker's Stats Attack: Tote Boards

Various Tote Board Stats

1. In "Little Green Men," we learn from Mulder's answering machine that he stood up a woman who subsequently calls him a pig. He gets half credit for at least agreeing to the date. In "Irresistible," Mulder drags Scully to Minneapolis on a ruse to take her to a Vikings vs. Redskins game in the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome. In my book, that's a date!
2. In "The Jersey Devil," Mulder interrupts Scully's dinner with "Rob." In "Irresistible," Scully agrees to go with Mulder to the Metrodome. In "Never Again," she has Edward Jerse take her to the slezy Hard Eight Lounge. (Other possible contenders: Scully's lunch with Colton in "Squeeze and the "weird robbery date" in "Lazarus.")
3. After succumbing to smoke inhalation in "Fire," Mulder parades around his hotel room in black boxers. (Of course, he appears to be buck naked in the shower when Scully finds him near the beginning of "Demons.")
4. Flustered by the events of "Pilot," Scully flees to Mulder's motel room and peels off he robe so he can inspect her back.
5. At the beginning of "The Jersey Devil," Scully finds Mulder gazing at the centerfold of a woman who claimed to be abducted by aliens. As Mulder peruses a criminal profile in "Beyond the Sea," Scully sneaks up behind him and says that the last time she saw him that engrossed he was reading the Adult Video News. When chided for not reading the August edition of The Lone Gunman during "Blood," Mulder responds that it came the same day as his subscription to Celebrity Skin. Just before getting the call that Scully has returned in "One Breath," Mulder watches some kind of videotape in the dark. He repeatedly rewinds the tape and in the background we hear heavy breathing, kissing, and a lusty female voice saying, "We should stop." Near the beginning of "Excelsis Dei," Mulder freezes for an instant and then says whatever tape she found in the VCR wasn't his. Scully retorts that's good because she put it back in the drawer with all the other videotapes that aren't his. After returning from the dead in "The Blessing Way," Mulder tells Frohike that he's going to have to wait a little longer for Mulder's video collection. (This comment in itself would be fairly innocent except for the other references and the fact that Mulder has identified Frohike as a pervert.) In "D.P.O.," Mulder and Scully find a girlie magazine in Darren Oswald's room. Scully expresses surprise that Mulder hasn't "read" that issue yet, and Mulder replies that he has. When Scully finds Mulder watching an odd-looking video in "Nisei," she comments that it isn't his usual brand of entertainment. After being rigged with a videocamera in "Pusher," Mulder wonders if he can pick up the Playboy Channel. In "Small Potatoes," Van Blundht checks Mulder's messages and finds one from "Chantal." She says that it's been so long since they've spoken and she's missed hearing his sexy voice. She informs "Marty" that just for him they have dropped their rates to forty cents a minute and $2.99 for the first minute. (I realize that some of these are inconclusive, but...putting them all together paints a fairly complete picture!)
6. The beast-woman in "The Jersey Devil" amd Detective White in "Syzygy."
7. Mulder (and no one can tell me he isn't), Rob from "The Jersey Devil," Brother Andrew from "Genderbender," Jack Willis from "Lazarus," Frohike from "E.B.E." et. al., Donny Pfaster of "Irresistible," Lanny from "Humbug," Leonard Trimble from "The Walk," Jose Chung from "Jose Chung's From Outer Space," Gerald Schnauz from "Unruhe," Edward Jerse from "Never Again," and Eddie Van Blundht from "Small Potatoes."
8. He steps out a pool wearing them in "Duane Barry."
9. Scully dons them near the beginning of "Elegy." (Oo, baby.)
10. By Hal Arden in "Excelsis Dei" and Fred Neiman in "Small Potatoes." [Marita: One of the young Eves tells the cashier at the rest-stop that Mulder was her daddy--implying Scully and him were a couple, though in this case, no "mistaken" identity.]
11. Scully rubs Mulder's hair as well as squeezes his hand in "Little Green Men." Mulder and Scully hug at the end of "Irresistible." Mulder hugs Scully at the end of "Paper Clip." They hold hands twice in "Pusher." Scully hugs Mulder at the end of "Herrenvolk." Mulder and Scully hug after he returns from Russia in "Terma." Scully hugs Mulder's neck at the end of "Paper Hearts." Mulder and Scully hug near the end of "Momento [sic] Mori" and Mulder kisses Scully on the forehead. Scully hugs Mulder's back at the end of "Demons." (Okay, a couple of these weren't very "public," but they were displays of affection!)
12. Near the end of "Die Hand Die Verletzt."
13. Mulder slept over at Scully's during "Anasazi" and spent the night in Scully's hotel room during "Jose Chung's From Outer Space."
[Marita: How about this? Number of times Mulder and Scully have each fallen for a vampire: 1.]

1. Episodes: Pilot, Squeeze, The Jersey Devil, Shadows, Ghost in the Machine, Ice, Eve, Fire, Beyond the Sea, Genderbender, Lazarus, Miracle Man, Shapes, Darkness Falls, Born Again, Roland, The Host, Sleepless, 3, Firewalker, Fresh Bones, Fearful Symmetry, Humbug, The Calusari, F.

2. By Lucas Henry in "Beyond the Sea." By Augustus Cole in "Sleepless" (sort of). By Scully in "Anasazi." By apparently self-inflicted wound to the head in "Gethsemane." [Marita: Remember this list was compiled after season 4 just ended. Also, Mulder was shot in the head in the "Fight the Future."]
3. Tooms does it in "Squeeze." Incanto does it in "2Shy." An assassin knocks out Scully in the bathroon near the end of "Avatar." Jerse does it in "Never Again." And, Psycho-Nurse Inned does it in "Elegy."
4. During "Fresh Bones" and "The List."
5. After her bedtime experience with Brother Andrew in "Genderbender."
6. During the interview with Darren Peter Oswald in "D.P.O." [Marita: Off the top of my head, also in "Travelers" of the 5th season.]
7. Nurse Charters in "Excelsis Dei." Scully in "End Game." Scully in "The Calusari." Scully in "Never Again." Scully in "Gethsemane."
8. Episodes: Lazarus, Ascension, Irresistible, Die Hand Die Verletzt, Humbug, Our Town, and Unruhe.
9. By a Russian in "Tunguska."
10. Episodes: Our Town, The List, and Leonard Betts.
11. During "Shapes."
12. Frogs in "Die Hand Die Verletzt" and birds in "Syzygy."
13. After stepping in alien body goo during "Colony."

1. Episodes: Pilot, Squeeze, Space, Eve, Genderbender, E.B.E., Miracle Man, The Host, Aubrey, Colony, Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose, The Walk, Hell Money, Wetwired, Home, Teliko, El Mundo Gira, and Zero Sum. (Some of these are disputable. You can't always see what Mulder is putting in his mouth. I'm assuming it's a sunflower seed.) [Marita: Off the top of my head, I don't know whether Mulder was eating them or not, but he threw sunflower seeds at Ronnie in "Bad Blood."]
2. Episodes: E.B.E., Shapes, Fresh Bones, Colony, Our Town, The Blessing Way, Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose, Syzygy, Herrenvolk, Unruhe, El Mundo Gira, Kaddish, Demons, and Gethsemane. [Marita: Once again, off the top of my head, "The Pine Bluff Variant" when she spies on Mulder, "The End" where she is depressed over Fowley, "Emily," where she finds strange men after Emily's adoptive father in prison; and "All Souls."]
3. Mulder thinks Skinner could be the alien bounty hunter in "End Game." Scully thinks Skinner has come to kill her in "The Blessing Way." Holly believes Skinner assaulted her in "Pusher." After seeing a surveillance photo, Mulder deduces that Skinner's been working with Cancerman all along in "Zero Sum." [Marita: Also in "Redux," Scully wanted to name Skinner as the mole, but it turns out to have been Blevins, as revealed in "Redux II."]
4. After hearing that an editor likes his story in "Musings of a Cigaretter-Smoking Man."
5. He analyzes Kevin Morris's scribblings in "Conduit." "Runs a plate" in "The Erlenmeyer Flask." Converts a phone number into an address in "The Erlenmeyer Flask." Runs a background check on Richard Odin in "Red Museum." Researches adoption records in "Aubrey." (By the way, this episode establishes that his last name is Valadayo, but a fax in "Conduit" appears to read "Daniel Bernstein." Different Danny?) Runs a check for missing people in "Our Town." Tries to identify a man in a picture in "Avatar." Converts a phone number into an address in "Wetwired." Runs a set of fingerprints in "Leonard Betts." [Marita: Has he forgotten Pendy? As in Danny Pendrell? Though the name may be disputable, the official card game names Pendrell as "Danny," and he has been more than helpful. ::sniff::]
6. Ish in "Shapes," Scully (for the first time) in "Tooms," Skinner in "Tooms," Samantha Mulder in "Little Green Men," Margaret Scully in "One Breath," Melissa Scully in "One Breath," Mrs. Mulder (for the first time) in "Colony," hybrid Samantha in "Colony," William Mulder (for the first time) in "End Game," Dr. Bambi Berenbaum in "War of the Coprophages," CSM in "Talitha Cumi," and Eddie Van Blundht in "Small Potatoes" (sort of...he says it to himself).
7. Tooms's bile goop in "Squeeze," the burned paint from the top of Darlene's Morris's camper in "Conduit," the Kindred's slop in "Genderbender," the flimy insects in "Darkness Falls," the oil from the alien in "Piper Maru," the blood that dripped from the tree in "Teso Dos Bichos," and Betts's iodine in "Leonard Betts." [Marita: And Scully's alien goop from "Fight the Future."]
8. She first realizes that Leonard [Marita: or rather his brother] is the killer in "Humbug." She intuits that the bellhop is responsible for the deaths in "Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose." She pegs Simon Gates as the man who's after Kevin in "Revelations." And we might say that she had a hunch Nurse Innes was the true culprit before Innes attacked her in "Elegy."
9. "Miracle Man" (Leonard Vance), "The Calusari" (The Calusari), "Jose Chung's From Outer Space (The Men in Black--one of whom looks like Alex Trebek!) and maybe "Revelations" (the children at the Linley Home for Children describe Owen as "all dressed in black" when they tell the authorities about Kevin's kidnapping).
10. Frohike says, "Beam me up, Scotty!" in "Fearful Symmetry." Blaine Faulkner has Star Trek models in his room in "Jose Chung's From Outer Space." Mike Millar refers to "Dr. Spock's phaser" in "Tempus Fugit" and a tractor beam in "Max." (Also, there may be a numerical reference to Trek in "Synchrony." There are two interesting numbers in the episode, and their proximity seems too deliberate to be coincidental. The elder Nichols stays in room 47 at the Lighthouse Resident Hotel, and in his room Scully finds Yonechi's flight information: Pan Oceanic Flight 1701. Trekkers will immediately recognize the latter as the registry number for the USS Enterprise, and some will even be aware that the number 47 is very popular among the creative staff at the Star Trek production offices. In addition, time-travel stories have been a common theme in Trek. Could the numbers be a homage to the most successful sci-fi television series of all time?)
11. Mulder tells Deep Throat to cut the Obi-Wan Kenobe [sic!] crap in "The Erlenmeyer Flask." Blaine Faulkner has a model of the Millennium Falcon in his room in "Jose Chung's From Outer Space." Amanda Nelligan believes Luke Skywalker impregnated her and even sings the Star Wars theme in "Small Potatoes." [Marita: For more things, visit The Star Wars Elements in the X-Files of this site.]
12. "One Breath" (Mulder is trying to find out what happened to Scully), "End Game" (Mulder evidently placed the "X" in his window prior to his meeting with Mr. X at the Kennedy Center, and Scully uses it later in the episode to try to learn where Mulder has gone), "Anasazi" (Mulder wants to learn if the stolen documents from the Defense Department are legitimate, "731" (Scully is floundering to find a way to get Mulder out of the boxcar), "Wetwired" (Mulder is desperate to learn Scully's whereabouts after she runs away), and "Herrenvolk" (Scully wants to learn the meaning of the data entries in the Social Security records).
13. Just before a phone call to Scully from Mulder near the end of "Pilot." At the start of the autopsy Scully performs in "Miracle Man." Just before a phonecall to Scully from Mulder near the end of "The Erlenmeyer Flask." As Scully wakes from a nightmare in "Irresistible." When the alien bounty hunter--posing as Mulder--comes to Scully's motel room near the end of "Colony." When Mulder arrives at the hospital after hearing his mother has had a stroke in "Talitha Cumi." As Scully finds out there are multiple Jeremiah Smiths working at Social Security Administration offices around the country in "Talitha Cumi." (For those of you who don't know, November 21--"11:21"--is the birthday of Chris Carter's wife. There are other number games in The X-Files: for one, "1013"--Chris Carter's Birthday--as well as a preponderance of 47s. Hmmm. A homage to Star Trek?)
