"Quagmire (The X-Files)"

"Quagmire" is the twenty-second episode of the third season of The X-Files. When a series of mysterious deaths and disappearances are reported near a lake in a small town, Agents Mulder and Scully are called in to investigate. With local folklore of a killer sea serpent running rampant amongst the locals, the agents must take their search for the truth to the water. Text taken from the Quagmire summary here.

Trivia

  • The title itself, quagmire refers to the type of area in which most of the episode takes place.
  • Queequeg, as is revealed, is the harpoonist from Moby-Dick, which is the inspiration for what Agent Scully names her dog. Dana inherited the dog itself from a previous episode.
  • Furthermore, Moby-Dick seems to be the inspiration for the nicknames Dana and her father used for eachother in the first season, which were Ahab and Starbuck, respectively.
