Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe marquee for the Pink Motel is shown at 11 minutes; this was a children's book printed ~ 1959, an actual hotel off Rt 5, a film produced ~ 1982, and the scene of frequent film locations since then.
- GoofsAs everyone was looking for some negatives of photographs taken in 1963, Private Investigator Charlie Garrett (Wayne Rogers) stated that he received them in an envelope bearing a postmark of November 25, 1963. That was the day of John F Kennedy's funeral in which then president Johnson proclaimed across the country, schools, businesses, and government offices closed in observance of the day of mourning. This included the post office which could not have produced a cancellation for that date.
- Quotes
Charlie Garrett: Then why would he have moved to Coral City in the first place? And then why would he have stayed all those years?
Police Chief Thurman Gillis: Pardon me. Did it ever occur to you that he might have just plain liked the place?
Charlie Garrett: No, not really.

Inexplicable
The '90s were a time of sparkling, highly- competitive TV programming. Which is why sometimes we find MSW peering self-consciously over its shoulder and trying to emulate the edginess of younger shows. This story is a case in point: Dark, conspiratorial topics like the JFK assassination are a good fit with a cynical, trust-no-one vehicle such as The X-Files. It takes an anti-hero like Fox Mulder to tinker with the facts, knowing that nobody will believe him anyway, and finally throw them away because "the truth is out there". We will love him for it. In MSW, the same plot falls flat and quickly descends into a farce: Apparently, efforts to shed new light on what really happened in Dallas on November 22, 1963 will forever be stymied by men in raincoats who stand around hotel lobbies, face buried in a newspaper. Clearly, in tackling the JFK saga the creators bit off more than they could chew, and it shows.
