Trivia / The X-Files S07 E10 "Sein und Zeit"

• Troubled Production: This episode burned through its allotted budget faster than expected, forcing the crew to improvise several scenes near the end of the shoot. In particular, they weren't able to film a scene involving a news report on Amber Lynn's kidnapping until one of the producers reached out to Robert Penfold, an LA-based Australian reporter (and fan of the show) who agreed to do the cameo for nothing. One member of the crew also made the mistake of carrying a folder of production documents, including the ransom note used in the episode, home from work and left it in a public phone booth. When he realized his mistake, he went back to retrieve it and was arrested by police who had discovered the note and didn't realize it was a prop.
