Easter Eggs
Leyla Harrison
In Season 8, a character named Leyla Harrison is introduced. She was named after a prolific fanfiction writer and internet fan who passed away from cancer.
10:13
Clocks frequently read 10:13, and apartment numbers or codes often use these digits. It is a reference to creator Chris Carter's birthday (October 13).
Kim Manners' Headstone
In the revival (Season 10), Mulder visits a cemetery. A tombstone reads "Kim Manners" with the epitaph "Kick it in the ass." Manners was a longtime director/producer of the show who died in 2009; the phrase was his catchphrase.
Morley Cigarettes
The fictional brand smoked by the Cigarette Smoking Man. It is a nod to the film Psycho and has become a standard prop in Hollywood for a generic cigarette brand.
