Given the many name tributes on X-Files, I think I always believed they named Mulder’s mother after James Wong’s wife, also Teena (same spelling), and short for Christina. Though I think M&W might have been off the show by the time she was introduced (Colony?), so that might blow my theory.

Mulder does some serious Adam West Batman-level detective work in this episode.

In reply to lilacsigil.

Maybe Teena is an anagram of Anne? And someone in the production company had a stroke?

Or… tam tam tam… this is a “bonus” X-file?

In the files in the mountain she was called “Anne Mulder” then for some reason she suddenly became “Teena”. Who knows?

“Rahr!” cliffhanger, oh noes!

I always wondered what Talitha Cumi meant. Now I don’t have to look it up myself. 🙂

I make an exception for Teena Marie (who was a mother), but otherwise yeah, I thought it was an unlikely and not-great choice of name for Mulder’s mom.
