I'm only on season 3 so far so maybe they explain it later but why does Mulder always put the X on his window? It's driving me crazy.

That way the aliens couldn't mess with his mind.

If I knew I'd tell you. I don't remember any guy named "X" ever appearing in the X-Files, and I used to watch it a lot.

Mr X was some inside contact that helped Mulder out every so often.

Ooooooh! Yeah, now I remember him mentioning a "Mr. X" once... It took adding the 'Mr.' to it before I recognized it.

I'm pretty sure it was to call for Deepthroat in seasons 1 and 2, and X until whenever he died. End of season 4 I think.
