Might Dr. Ivanov be a reference to Doctor Who's Davros? The weelchair, the mechanical voice, the blend of robotics and insects. Just a thought to anyone who can confirm or deny it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Trondheimsgutt (talk • contribs) 13:12, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I thought he was more likely a reference to Stephen Hawking. -- Beardo (talk) 16:35, 20 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

-- I definitely think this is a Davros reference; first thing I thought of when I saw the character in the episode. --ShawnML2 (talk) 01:00, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Will review soon. Glimmer721 ^talk 16:28, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comments:

• Should "Ekbom syndrome" be capitalized (or at least that way)?
• "Mulder visits the nearby Dr. Ivanov, a wheelchair-using scientist who works on insect-like robots, and renders the man speechless- informing Mulder that the specimen is, technology-wise, vastly superior to anything he's ever seen before." This sentence is a little confusing. Is Mulder the one speechless? Also, the dash needs to be an emdash.
• Do any of your sources mention what "Coprophages" means? Could be added to the paragraph explaining the title.
• You might also be able to get something from here, or at least in the future.

Otherwise this is pretty solid. Man, I really have to rent the third season from my library soon! I'm placing this on hold for 7 days while changes are addressed. Glimmer721 ^talk 22:25, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I believe I've fixed everything. And Ekbom syndrome is a proper noun, hence the capitalization. It's actually supposed to be Ekbom's, and so I fixed it. I'll also try to add parts from that article later.--Gen. Quon (talk) 23:10, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Good enough for now. Passing... Glimmer721 ^talk 00:02, 9 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What is "Shearman and Pearson" - in footnotes but not mentioned in the list. -- Beardo (talk) 16:37, 20 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No mention of the meaning of the Sheriff's name? "Frass" is the name for insect dung. Joyous! | Talk 23:21, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Grapple X, Drovethrughosts, Glimmer721, and Igordebraga: I thought you all might get a kick out of this viral tweet I just saw about the image and its caption. Having dug through old history pages, I'm 95% sure I added the image and the bit about one dying (I think someone else added that fun fact to the image later on). Regardless, I remember reading that fact in 2012 and thinking it was hilarious. I hope the attention this is getting puts a smile on your face, haha!--Gen. Quon (Talk) 18:18, 22 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Haha, thanks for this! These episode articles always remind me of the first time I watched X-Files back in 2012. Good memories! Drovethrughosts (talk) 19:16, 22 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Great one (even made sure to like the tweet where you claim authorship). And someday I need to both finish Season 11 and use the DVDs for both that and 10 to improve the only episode articles left here. igordebraga ≠ 22:08, 22 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Fantastic. I always loved how deadpan that caption is. ᵹʀᴀᴘᴘʟᴇ ꭗ 12:19, 23 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
