Trivia:

The "clay pot as recording media" plot device was investigated in "MythBusters" (2003). They determined that it was so highly unlikely as to be impossible.

Goofs:

Crew or equipment visible: Gillian Anderson's stunt double can be seen after Tea Leoni asks 'Scully' to show her how to run with high heels. It's also noticeable how the stunt double starts running before Anderson leaves the frame.

Quotes:

Fox Mulder:You know Scully, I was just thinking about Lazarus, Ed Wood, and those Tofurkey-eatin' zombies. How come when people come back from the dead, they always wanna hurt the living?
Scully:Well, that's because people can't really come back from the dead, Mulder. I mean, ghosts and zombies are just projections of our own repressed cannibalistic and sexual fears and desires. They are who we fear that we are at heart. Just mindless automatons who can only kill and eat.
Fox Mulder:Party pooper. Well, I got a new theory. I say that when zombies try to eat people, that's just the first stage. You see, they've just come back from being dead, so they're gonna do all the things they missed from when they were alive. So first, they're gonna eat. Then, they're gonna drink. Then, they're gonna dance and make love.

A good ghoulish time

With the Syndicate gone and the answer to Mulder's sister's disappearance finally answered, there are many more stand-alone episodes in the series. I've seen a lot of fans dislike Seasons 6 & 7 because of the increase in stand-alones and the increase in the show's humor. Not for me. This episode (directed by Duchovny) is an example of the cast just having a good time. The show doesn't have to be all about aliens, conspiracies, and seriousness all the time. The bubble bath scene alone is priceless! Plus, how many times do we get to see Scully laugh? There are outtakes where they would have to stop shooting for a period of time because Gillian Anderson couldn't stop laughing. All in all, this episode shows the actors in a somewhat different light and it's enjoyable to see.
