The actor with the tattoo looked eerily like Finn Whitrock from AIU.

Fun fact! It was originally planned that Quentin Tarantino would shoot this series, but the Directors Guild of America did not allow this to happen — he did not have a guild certificate, and it was not allowed to work on TV without it) and a year before that, Tarantino shot the series "Ambulance", of course without having this very certificate and somehow got out) it didn't work out the second time)
and in order to somehow make up for the loss of one star, it was decided to invite another - Oscar—winning Jodie Foster. The girl from the tattoo speaks in her voice.

fun fact number two: soon after filming this episode, the actor who played the main character with a tattoo, Rodney Ronald and Gillian Anderson began dating) so sweet :

A series about emancipation, of course. Give her a separate desk in her office, and she'll move mountains.

@bigupyourmama: it was a wonderful wink to the fans of the series) two burning questions of the question interested the Internet community back in 1997 and repeatedly surfaced in discussions: "Where is Scully's desk?" and "Why is her name not on the door to the office?" To the delight of all the authors finally asked this question to Mulder)
another reference to the Internet discussion is Scully's remark about "Rocky and Bullwinkle" — fans on the Internet (namely in the famous newsgroup alt.tv.x-files) often associated Scully and Maleder with these characters)

@martin_swift: it was about the same in 3x13, a series about a parade of planets, two girls with telekinesis and a city going crazy: there Scully ran over Mulder that she never drives - this was also a nod from the creators to the fans who bothered them with this question on the forums =3

I looked at this Eddie and couldn't help thinking that he looked like Wilson from Dr. House.x) Even out of stupidity, I checked if it was him, although I knew perfectly well that it wasn't HIM. x)))
Oh, these questions!* about* They worried me for several seasons.hd "Where's Saul Scully?", "Why doesn't she have a sign on the door?", "damn, how do they look like a moose and a squirrel from that cartoon from childhood!":"D
And Mulder is so touching in Elvis's house, I'm just eating like a puppy from a sugar bone:D
When Scully got a tattoo, it looked .... ahem... like this... is it erotic or something:D
And their date... God, I pressed such a forehead, and tears of emotion welled up:"3
And how it was a pity that everything ended this way: "with

@Mr_Kirpister: For some reason, Eddie also reminds me very much of Wilson at some points, either with a smile, or with a look, or with an expression on his face. Although I know that the actor is different.

And as always, it was not without bad, bad Russians. Russian Russians I understand that this was the period at that time, but I can't get rid of a mixture of a desire to laugh at every mention of Russians and a desire to punch the screenwriters of those episodes that make Russians the world's evil. Although this is a great example of the fact that even after twenty years nothing changes (and let's not talk about politics, but stereotypes are such stereotypes).
The very idea of tattoos is interesting (and for some reason I remembered Ted Mosby's butterfly - also on the wave of drunken depression and also on the lower back), and Scully herself then looked kind of frivolous, freed from problems and hardships. I hope this ouroboros will make itself felt again.

the moment when Scully gets a tattoo is very cool shot, although she is sitting on a chair leaning a little, but it is taken as if he is standing in a doggy pose and when she tolerates the penetration of a needle under the skin with a smile, other associations are created)

I feel sorry for the guy and his victim, because he didn't commit the murder of his own free will. And the girl, it turns out, was killed for nothing.
Scully has good reasons to break away - she found out about her illness in the last episode. And she kept it to herself while Mulder tried to control her. If she had shared it with him right away, it might have been easier for her.

A great series. Fox is better revealed emotionally, but Dan is not enough. Such a sad Scully, thinking about life. And this tattoo scene in the salon is so erotically shot. In general, the atmosphere is gloomy and doomed, but I really liked it.
