muldertieindex: The Blessing Way (3x01) — Note of curiosity“We give them happiness, and they give us authority. The people believe in authority, they’ve grown tired of waiting for miracle or mystery. Science is their religion, no greater explanation exists for them.” —Cigarette Smoking Man, Talitha CumiWhile Mulder does not wear a necktie or any kind of clothing in this episode — owing to him being half-dead — one of his past ties makes an appearance. In a scene with Skinner, the CSM is seen wearing the necktie Mulder wore to Bellefleur, WA on his first case with Scully, in the ‘Pilot.’ Previously, he wore the necktie in ‘Tooms,’ ‘Little Green Men,’ ‘Ascension,’ ‘Talitha Cumi’ and multiple other episodes. The necktie becomes somewhat of a staple of the CSM which perfectly reflects the character’s banality of evil that hides behind bureaucracy.It is obviously an amazing coincidence the costume designer Larry Wells decided to make it a look for William B. Davis to wear for those particular days on set but a full four seasons before the show made allusions to CSM being Mulder’s natural father, their choice in neckwear was the first domino set in motion. lol -- source link
