Talk:Pilot (The X-Files)

Isn't the ending scene to this and to "The Erlenmyer Flask" a tribute to the end of "The Raiders of the Lost Ark"??? Might be worth looking into. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.248.15.158 (talk) 01:39, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

The first episode (and I believe only the first episode) says that it is based on actual events. Did Fox (or anyone involved with the show) ever reveal on what "actual events" either "Pilot" or The X-Files might be based? --In Defense of the Artist 02:58, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
 * A simple ploy to make people watch, I believe. I haven't seen any definite either. Davhorn 03:18, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Nope, it's based on the case that eventually lead to Presidential Determination 95-45 (of course, without the UFOs thing). []  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.81.245.131 (talk) 23:44, 27 September 2014 (UTC)

What's the deal with the organic molecule when Scully meets Mulder? How is she supposed to identify an incomplete structure (There are three R sequences.)? A "synthetic protein"? Where are the amino acids? 130.243.201.151 21:48, 23 September 2007 (UTC) The deal is that most people aren't that observant. Move out of your mother's basement and you'll see.

Mom lives a long way from here. That most people don't notice is hardly a good reason for making poor research. Especialy since Scully is supposed to be educated on the matter, one could expect a cerain level of correctnes, as far as the story allows it. 130.243.208.107 14:14, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Title
Shouldn't the title of this article be Pilot (The X-Files)? It's the standard for other pilot episodes without titles, and the DVDs list the episode as "Pilot", not "The X-Files", anyway. Consensus is probably the best way to go about deciding on the title, so have at. I'm for moving it, to line up with how other series go about it, but I could be convinced by strength og numbers the other way. GRAPPLE  X  23:48, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm all for this. See my comment two years ago during my GA review. I must have missed the nominator's subsequent request for me to move it. Matthewedwards : Chat  04:30, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
