The X-Files Revival Trailer: 20 Things You Need To See

11. There's Those Pencils Again

One of the running gags of The X-Files was that when bored, Fox Mulder would throw pencils at the ceiling of his office in an attempt to get them to stick, like an impromptu dart board of sorts. It appears that, despite the X-Files having closed, not only has no one removed said pencils, no one has even fully cleaned out the office. Even the I Want To Believe poster - burned in season five, replaced, and found in Mulder's office in the 2008 X-Files big screen outing (also titled I Want To Believe) is present, just left carelessly on the floor. As far as the pencils, it's nice to see they kept the joke running, but that fact that this office sat empty for years is a little hard to swallow.
