[edit] baby William

The article says, "Mulder is the father (possibly by in vitro fertilisation) of Scully's son William." Can someone cite a reference to the show to support this claim? --Memenen 9 July 2005 11:07 (UTC)

This may be referring to the flashbacks presented in the season 8 episode Per Manum, which introduces Zeus Genetics and Scullys doctor. She was attempting to undergo some sort of fertility treatment in the time frame of those flashbacks (which would have been around season 5) but it also seemed to suggest her efforts were a failure.

Overlaping in the article --Wikinewsblackcat 16:06, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

A recurring theme in the eighth season of "The X-Files" is Scully's uncertainty regarding the identify of her baby's father. (Her greatest fear is that he will be an alien-human hybrid.) In "Per Manum" we learn that she asked Mulder to be her sperm donor. After hesitating, he agreed, saying "I wouldn't want this to come between us", but the result was negative. Enthusiasts of the Mulder-Scully romance (called "shippers" in fan circles)often use the last line of that episode as a springboard for their favorite fantasy: As the agents embrace, Mulder says, "Never give up on a miracle." Scully worries all through her pregnancy that her baby will be normal and 100% human. When William comes out with ten fingers and toes in the season finale, he seems perfect. Scully voices her doubts to Mulder only after the boy is born. Mulder says to Scully as he holds William, "The truth we both know," sealing it with a very tender, unpartnerlike kiss on Scully's lips. Mulder status as William's father is inferred by the diologue and emphasized by the body language of the actors. What's never made clear is whether the pair had consummated their physical relationship to achieve Scully's pregnancy or whether the original test issued a false negative. Mulder never married and Scully's baby was implanetd by alien's in the third season Mulder never dated Scully I don't know how that got to be but i'm a big supporter of the X-files and i've like seen almost every episode and not once did it mention Mulder being the father of Scull'y baby.

[edit] Education

It is not possible to graduate 'summa cum laude' from Oxford University, as British universities in general, and Oxford in particular, do not assign grades in this manner. Did he perhaps graduate with a 'First Class Degree'?

[edit] big cleanup edits

I'm doing some major cleanup on this page - taking out unnecessary info, organizing it better, referencing things that should be referenced. I'm not finished (currently have only done "Personality" and "Trivia" sections), but let me know if you disagree with any of my cuts. I just think in general this (and most of the other X-Files character pages) have veered from "useful encyclopedia article" - something helpful to both newcomers and fans - to "dumping page for arcane and oblique facts". Not to mention a lot of it was incorrect or misleading.

I also plan to make more consistent headings - a "Family and Relationships" section that will include parts of the current "Family and early life" section, as well as summaries of his relationships with friends and women - which were scattered all around in other places.

[edit] edits done!

The edits are done, for the most part. Any comments or criticism, please speak up!

Hi I just watched an episode today "Travellers" Season 5 and its set in 1990 and shows Fox wearing a wedding ring - do you have any background on him being married ?

[edit] Am I Mulder?

Strangely, I was born on October 18, 1961, am 170 pounds and about 6 feet tall, and graduated from Martha's Vineyard Regional High School (where all Chilmark children attended high school).

I graduated in the top ten percent of my class (only 125 kids in the class of 1979), and I don't remember seeing him. Maybe I'm Mulder... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Actiscenei (talk • contribs) 16:39, 10 February 2007 (UTC).

Nope because Mulder was born on October 13, 1961. Marikology 19:28, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

One of the unofficial "FBI advisers" that the character is based on has a website (I got this information from a source that will remain unnamed) Weird Story.orgOddly enough His birthday is 13,October 1961. As the site develops it may be interesting to see the correlations between the show and the content of his site.Myraedison 00:34, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] ...loss of virginity?

From the trivia: "Mulder lost his virginity at the age of 29." Anyone have a source of that? While I'm not the biggest X-Phile, and I haven't really seen that many episodes, I've never seen it mentioned anywhere else and it does sound slightly like vandalism. 13:21, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Considering all the porn he has, I'd suspect he's still a virgin, even when he donated his semen to Scully.--cw1925 19:37, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

I can't remember the episode it's in, but there's an early series episode where a guy can start fires with his mind, and Mulder & Scully are joined by an English woman that knew Mulder at Oxford. There's one bit where she reminds him of 'what they did on top of Arthur COnan Doyle's grave' and the episode implies they used to have sex. 62.136.5.62 23:29, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

the episode you're talking about is "Fire" and there is no dialogue that indicates Mulder lost his virginity at that time. The character simply references a "certain youthful indiscretion." Marikology 04:56, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Didn't Mulder have Sex with Kristin in "3"?

[edit] Other Family Members

Just wanted to mention that just because Mulder mentioned his uncle ("Humbug"), albeit very loosely, this does not warrant an entire article.--cw1925 19:39, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Married

Mulder wears a wedding ring in the episode "Travelers", could this mean he was married? Maybe the writers were going to elaborate on it in later episodes but just decided not to. I don;t know if this is already mentioned somehwere in another episode, if so, reply :)

The only reason Mulder is wearing the ring is because David Duchvony had recently gotten married and purposfully didn't take it off, presumably just to see what people would say. However, the show never elaborated on to whom Mulder was married; most fans assume it was Diana Fowley.
kk cheers

[edit] Sister disappered in Chilmakr, MA or Lake Okoboji, IA?

The article said Chilmark, but many times the series says Okoboji. I changed it to the latter but would like to know what others who are better informed believe. Interlingua 20:44, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] A source that can be used Truth Is Out There: The Official Guide to the X Files

There is a book called Truth Is Out There: The Official Guide to the X Files by Brian Lowry. If you need more X-Files information (especially about development of episodes), get the book and cite it. WhisperToMe (talk) 05:56, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Why Carter called him 'Fox'

Years ago I read somewhere (I can't remember where) that the first namens of siblings Mulder add up to Samantha Fox - that was supposed to be the reason for Carter calling Mulder 'Fox'.

[edit] Trivia

How about mentioning his statement about "Plan Nine from Outer Space" as being so off-logic that it shuts down the logic center of his brain and allows him to make intuitive leaps of reasoning? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.235.75.151 (talk) 03:22, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
