Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In which episode did Nick Lea appear for the first time?

Answer: 'Gender Bender'

Krycek was introduced in 'Sleepless', but Nick had a small role (Michael) in 'Gender Bender'. Chris Carter liked him (I understand that!) and offered him the role of Alex Krycek in season 2.

2. What is the name of the convict who wants to help Scully catch a killer in 'Beyond the Sea'?

Answer: Luther Lee Boggs

Played by Brad Dourif. In this episode, Scully is the believer and Mulder the skeptic. Boggs says he has a message for Scully - from her father, who died in the beginning of the episode. Scully never gets to hear it. This was one of Gillian's favorite episodes.

3. Usually the sentence 'The Truth Is Out There' is shown at the beginning of each episode. When did they change it for the first time?

Answer: 'The Erlenmeyer Flask'

'Trust No One' - Deep Throat's last words.

4. They changed the sentence at the end of the opening credits often. Which of the following has NOT been shown?

Answer: 'They Are Here'

'Apology Is Policy' was the introduction to '731' (season {3);} 'Believe The Lie' was shown in 'Gethsemane' (season 4), and 'EI etc' (does anyone know how to pronounce this?) is 'The Truth Is Out There' in Navajo and was shown in the beginning of 'Anasazi' (season 2).

5. In 'Squeeze', Scully meets a fellow student from Quantico. What's his name?

Answer: Tom Colton

He is arrogant and very self-confident. He offers Scully a job, but she refuses and stays with Mulder.

6. Who played Donnie Pfaster, the apparently harmless but evil man (?) in 'Irresistible' and 'Orison' (seasons 2 and 7)?

Answer: Nick Chinlund

Nick starred in a few episodes of 'Buffy' as Riley's new boss. Doug played the liver-eating mutant {Tooms;} Brad brought Luther Lee Boggs from 'Beyond the Sea' to life, and Robert played Modell, the 'Pusher', from 'Pusher' and 'Kitsunegari' (seasons 3 and 5).

7. Who of the following is NOT a former lover of Mulder or Scully?

Answer: Tom Colton ('Squeeze')

Tom and Scully were only friends (if at all). Phoebe Green and Mulder were a couple years ago. Jack Willis and Scully were a couple while she was in Quantico, and Kristen and Mulder had a short affair during Scully's absence in season 2.

8. Mulder had several 'helpers' in all these X-years. Can you name them in the right order?

Answer: Deep Throat, X, Marita Covarrubias, Michael Kritschgau

Deep Throat (Jerry Hardin) appeared in 'Deep Throat' and was shot in 'The Erlenmeyer Flask'. He was gentle and polite and really seemed to like Mulder. Next in line was 'X' (Steven Williams) (on the phone in 'The Host', and he appeared in 'Sleepless'.

He was killed in 'Herrenvolk'), who seemed to help Mulder only reluctantly. When X died, Marita (Laurie Holden) was introduced. She was left for dead in 'One Son', but she survived and appeared again in 'Requiem' where she picked up Krycek at the prison.

In the meantime, Kritschgau appeared sometimes ('Gethsemane', 'The Beginning'). I don't remember when he died, but he was killed, too.

9. Who shot Melissa Scully?

Answer: Luis Cardinal (The Hispanic Man)

Melissa was shot in 'The Blessing Way' because Cardinal and Krycek thought she was Scully. It was actually Cardinal who pulled the trigger. The Crewcut Man didn't appear until season 3, and except for the movie, I haven't seen the Well-Manicured Man (played by John Neville) with a gun. He died in a car explosion in the movie.

10. What was the name of Scully's dog?

Answer: Queequeg

Scully got him in 'Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose', he appeared briefly in 'War of the Coprophages' and was eaten by an alligator in 'Quagmire'.
