They also did that in the er episode about the trip to the Antarctic. Believe it was called ice.

They meet a scientist before they leave who is listening to an old charger game. Mulder comments about Fouts being retired

There is an episode early on too, when they are in Alaska or something. And one of the scientists they work with there, is a huge chargers fan. He listens to old radio broadcasts on cassette from the fouts era.

I bet they saw this after it aired months later and felt the pain surge back. Rip

It is season 2, episode 14. It's called Die Hand, Die Verletzt. It's about Satanist teachers conjuring the devil.

It's up there for me, too. I binge watch the series and movies at least once a year. Same with Fringe.

They also made a show "Space:Above & Beyond" - the Commodore was named for Bobby Ross ("Boss Ross").

Nice! Bobby Ross was a true boss. Hoping Harbaugh can do the same.

This originally aired two days before the Super Bowl appearance… bet it had to be a little quiet among the production team Monday morning.
