At the conclusion of the episode, Chris Carter's Executive Producer credit is seen on the TV that Darin is watching, with Darin's face reflected in it. Until Season 9's 'Improbable', where Carter's credit is in Italian, it remains the only time the closing credits have been altered. (edit) The Filter song "Hey Man, Nice Shot" is used twice. First when Darin is working on a car in the garage and again later when he kills Zero. (edit) The name of the song that plays during the very beginning of this episode is called "Ring The Bells" by the group James.
It can be found on their album "Seven". But the version used in this episode was from the Greenpeace benefit album "Alternative NRG". (edit) Both Giovanni Ribisi and Jack Black have gone on to become well known actors in TV and films. Ribisi had a recurring role as Phoebe's brother in Friends and has appeared in Saving Private Ryan, Gone in 60 Seconds and The Gift. Black has risen to fame in popular movies Shallow Hal, Orange County, and School of Rock, and is half of rock duo Tenacious D. (edit) The character of Teller was named after half of the magic/comedy duo Penn and Teller, notorious skeptics when it comes to the paranormal. (edit)

Scully: Are you aware that something like 60 people die from lighting strikes across the country each year? And five of those happened right here in Connerville?
Coroner Stan Buxton: I know it's statistically improbable... (edit) Mulder: Did you see what he did to my phone?
Scully: So what? Are we supposed to charge him for assaulting a cellular phone? (edit) Zero: There's another slight problem... she's married to your boss.
Darin: Maybe I could fry him.
Zero: Dude, he's your boss!
Darin: Not if he's dead, he won't be. (he chuckles) (edit) Zero: You know... I've been thinking.
Darin: First time for everything. (edit) Scully: I'd have to run a chemical analysis to be sure but it looks like antifreeze.
Mulder: Darin Oswald.
Scully: But why? And how?
Mulder: I don't know Scully, but let's go see if the shoe fits! (edit)

As Mulder opens car door, reflection of camera and cameraman visible 28:08 (edit) Zero (Jack Black) is sitting behind the counter counting quarters when Mulder + Scully come in 9:23, yet when shot goes to Mulder and Scully he is now standing and counting from the same number 9:26. (edit) The wire used to set Pizza sign on fire is visible. (edit) Surely if Mulder's phone became hot enough to start smoking in his jacket pocket, it should have burnt through his jacket, shirt and probably his skin. Also, he should have been the first to notice it, not Scully who was on the other side of the room. (edit) If Darin channeled enough electricity through him to burn an imprint of his shoe into a piece of wood, how come the charge didn't melt the sole of his shoe? (edit)
