and not knowing if the fresh-faced young agent who had just been assigned to Mulder was trustworthy or not. And then get it confirmed for sure that he wasn't!

So all I know of XFiles is "I want to believe" and watching a couple episodes and then just highlander crossovers, and I am not fully sure I actually knew that detail at all.

OTOH, I knew he only had one hand? I think?

But until RIGHT THIS SECOND, I didn't know he was also played by a guy who was on Highlander, too. I suspect there were many many many references that went over my head. XD

I need a "superwholock" term for the X-Files/Highlander/Sentinel/due South/etc stuff that was everywhere.
