fox mulder wears a wedding band because his wedding was never resolved on screen.
why does fox mulder wear a wedding band?
never resolved on screen
in several shots, mulder can be seen wearing a wedding band. this was david duchovny's idea; he explained "that was just me, you know, fooling around. i had recently gotten married, and i wanted to wear it." he later described the situation as "so mulder to never have mentioned that he was married". series creator chris carter later told duchovny that the situation "creates a problem. if we ever do a show that takes place seven years ago, you'll have to be married." however, duchovny reassured carter by pointing out that there were not very many episodes, if any, that had been planned to take place seven years prior to the events in this episode. the inclusion of the detail caused an "internet frenzy" and the minor detail was never resolved on screen.
travelers (the x-files)
mulder's greatest nemesis was the smoking man, who, despite his obvious ill-intent, seemed to hold mulder in special regard. though he mocked mulder to his face for his foolishness and the futility of his quest, in "two fathers", he told his son jeffrey spender, "you pale to fox mulder." mulder also developed an intense enmity for alex krycek, a double agent who briefly worked with mulder in the fbi as an infiltrator, and who continued to serve as a recurring adversary, acting as an assassin for the syndicate in the murders of bill mulder and melissa scully.
