MISTAKES/GOOFS

CONT: (At 16:55) While searching through a chest containing many VHS tapes, Agent Scully's left hand quickly pans over the contents, revealing it to be without a latex glove; yet, in the next shot after calling over Agent Mulder, when she puts the video into the player, her hand is clearly gloved. She wouldn't have had time between the shots to put it on.
FACT: Mulder states that he is color blind; if this were true he would be medically ineligible to be a Special Agent in the FBI.
