"I'll give you two guesses, one of them is wrong" The Trivia Thread!


Recommended Posts

Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose. Though I can't think of an example off the top of my head except Mulder's death that never came through.

Aaand... Elegy? I can't remember if the deaths the patient sees already happened of if they were premonitions. But one of the visions was of a girl with a knife in her eye, I think. No wait! That was Chinga! I choose Chinga.

ETA: If these were indeed correct, someone else feel free to come up with a trivia question. I've tried but I'm having trouble using my brain thinking right now.

Okay, let's see how close attention y'all pay to the opening credits:  What, in place of Federal Bureau of Investigation, does it say at the top of Mulder & Scully's badges?

 

Yes, I know you can easily check.  I want to see how many people have taken note of it prior to this, since it took me years of watching to notice it said something other than the actual agency name.

No, although I think there's something about the DoJ at the bottom in small type. 

 

Even though there's a big ol' FBI next to their photos, the agency name spelled out above it is fictitious.  Which makes all the sense in the world, and is done by any production making prop badges for its Fibbie characters, but it took me until maybe the fourth or fifth season to notice.  I'm glad I'm not the only one.

 

We'll give it until the end of the day, and then we'll let joelene take it.

A fan who was a friend of mine (and who probably would have thought the episode featuring her namesake was rather lame, but I've only seen bits and she was more forgiving than me if something was 'shippy).  She survived several bouts of cancer (among other things) before meeting a metastasis she couldn't conquer.  She'd met Gillian (who made Leyla's life by ignoring the "time to move on" handlers at the fan event to grab Leyla's hand and ask her if she was doing okay at the time following the cancer -- Leyla had told her how much GA's portrayal of Scully's battle had meant to her), and been a real presence online, so she caught 1013's attention.

That's more than I knew, Bastet!  I remembered that you knew Leyla but didn't know about her speaking with GA.  That's great. 

 

(And I totally LOL at her probably thinking the ep was lame.  Hee.  It was, but at the same time it was made of WIN.)

 

I don't know yours without looking it up so I'll see if someone else can answer.

Good gawd, I have no idea. Conduit is one of my least watched season one episodes, but I did see it during our rewatch. I think there might have been codes to missiles or radio frequencies or vaccination formulas or something like that. Maybe this will trigger something for someone who's got it on the tip of their tongue.

I figured this might be a group effort; the scene popped into my head, and I could think of three things the analyst rattled off, so that's the number I decided to go with, but I know it's a rather obscure scene.

 

You've got DaVinci's man, and you're right about a piece of music being another one of them, but it wasn't from Mozart.  We hear it, and it's Scully who identifies it.  I'll spot you the composer: Bach.

 

As for missile codes, I initially thought that was wrong, because I'd been thinking only of the scene at the field office where the agent tells M&S about their analysis of the data found in the big stack of papers taken from Kevin's house.  I forgot about the scene before that, where the NSA agents bust in to ask M&S where they got the first printout they had -- which the NSA says contains a fragment of a defense satellite transmission.  And it's possible that transmission contained missile codes, so we'll call that one close enough.

Hooray for team effort! Especially when you pull answers out of your ass. Do you know what the other stuff hidden in the binary code was, Bastet?

Hmm. Okay, got one, probably another easy one but it'll pass the time.

Name four episodes where Mulder does his slide show for Scully including what the slides depict, except the one from Pilot.

Edited by joelene

My favorite slide show is from Bad Blood (reused images and all) -- it's a dead cow.  Actually, six dead cows, their bodies drained of blood.  This one, and this one, and this one ...

 

There's also an exsanguination slide show in Eve.

 

Darkness Falls features a slideshow of rugged manly men in the full bloom of their manhood.

 

I'm blanking on a fourth right now.
