Hi Derek: You didn't specify what article you had seen that in, so I was unable to track it down, but I believe you ran into one of the differences between UK and US English. In the US, "two hundred two" is correct; in the UK, "two hundred and two". See the first paragraph in Comparison of American and British English. Our policy on the English Wikipedia is to use the variety of English appropriate to the topic of the article, if any, and since The X-Files is an American TV series, that would be US English in most articles that would mention the episode number. (If there is no subject-appropriate variety of English, we usually follow the usage that first became established in the article; see here for a fuller explanation. I hope that answers your question; there are a surprising number of variations in English usage worldwide, it isn't just spelling or even vocabulary. Yngvadottir (talk) 19:50, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
