Been floating around a mini series of totally public domain persons for funsies after the first movie script, and today I realized that Bobby Darin’s music may also be public domain?
Guess who just provided the soundtrack for the legally grey mini series 😆

All Eyes Lead to the Truth | D.P.O. (3x03)
Sometimes durin’ the lightning storms, Darin liked to listen to his Walkman while sittin’ under the big oak tree out back. No one ever told him that was dangerous, but after he was struck, everyone sure liked to tell him it was his own fault.
Darin didn’t understand how he was expected to know stuff like that if no one ever bothered to tell him. It felt like people enjoyed callin’ him stupid so much that they never wanted to teach him nothin’ and spoil their fun.
He might’ve been a slow learner, but that didn’t mean he didn’t pick up on things.
Darin could look at a car and know the name and model. If he spent enough time on a video game, he could usually get a high score. He could tell when electricity kept actin’ up wherever he went that it might’ve had something to do with him.
The first few times it happened, he just thought the wiring in the house was goin’ to shit. But after several ‘power surges’ and ‘freak accidents’ happened in the span of a month, he saw a pattern. Something would set him off, then the electricity would act up.
He spent weeks practicing. Darin was pickin’ on his Ma there for a while, gettin’ her riled up so that she’d say somethin’ mean and make him mad. That never took long, but after a while, Darin realized it was better when he didn’t really get upset. When he did that, he couldn’t control the electricity very well. Instead, if he just let his emotions build up inside, and if he concentrated real hard, he could make stuff happen. He could make flashlights with no batteries turn on, he could start a car from twenty feet away, he could change the TV station like he was a human remote — he could do anything he wanted.
His power was too cool to keep to himself, but Darin knew he needed to practice before showin’ it to Zero. If he performed a bunch of magic tricks or hocus pocus mind games like the Stupendous Yappi, Zero would think he was lame.
It had to be somethin’ cool.
After a while of tinkerin’ with his powers, Darin stayed after closing time at the video arcade and said he had a surprise. Zero was disappointed when the surprise wasn’t beer or bud, but after seein’ his name spelled out across all the machines, watchin’ a bolt of lightnin’ strike right outside the windows, and hearin’ any song he named come outta the jukebox — he was impressed.
“So… this was from you getting zapped in the field?” Zero asked, in between swigs of his soda.
“Yup,” Darin nodded.
“That’s sick.”
“I’m like that fast guy from the Justice League,” Darin chuckled.
“Barry Allen became The Flash because he huffed too many fumes, dumbass,” Zero replied, always feelin’ the need to correct him.
“Still was lightning wasn’t it?” he spat back.
“Sure, dude.”
It was times like these he couldn’t tell when someone was just agreein’ with him ‘cause they didn’t wanna hear him talk no more or if they actually thought he was right. It made him feel stupid he couldn’t tell the difference, but he didn’t wanna feel even more stupid by asking and lettin’ someone else know he couldn’t tell.
“Whatever, man. My powers are way cooler than the Flash’s anyway. If I needed to go fast, I’d get a McLaren F1,” he shrugged.
“Well technically, the Flash has more than just super speed. He has super strength, time travel-”
Darin’s frustration built as Zero kept rambling. He hated feelin’ like an idiot. If he had the comic collection Zero did, he would’ve known all that too. His Ma refused to get him any when she realized he was mostly just lookin’ at the pictures. They wouldn’t have pictures in them if they didn’t want ya to look at ‘em.
Darin felt a surge of indignation burn through his body, and at the same time, the power in the arcade shut off. The suddenness of it all caused Zero to stop talking. When he realized what he’d done, he felt embarrassed for lashin’ out like that and quickly turned the machines back on.
“Hey, I’m real sor-”
Darin faltered when he looked over at Zero. He was starin’ at Darin with a funny look on his face. It was the same face Zero made when their homeroom teacher caught them lookin’ at the March ‘93 Playboy. It was the same look he got whenever his Mama knocked on the door while they were smokin’ reefers.
His friend was scared of him, and it made Darin feel powerful.
“Bet the Flash can’t do that, can he?” Darin laughed, every hair on his body standing straight.
It took Zero a moment to respond while he waited for his balls to drop, but when they did, he shook his head firmly, “N-no, dude. No way.”
Darin was grateful that his powers made him run hot, ‘cause Zero’s hands were trembling as they checked on the machines throughout the arcade. “S-so, are you going to show anyone else what you can do? I bet you could get a special on Jerry Springer.”
That brought a smile to his face. His Ma would probably keel over if she saw him standin’ next to Jerry. “I think I need to tell Mrs. Kiveat. I keep callin’ her every time I pick up the phone. I think I’m scarin’ her.”
“Have you tried maybe not doing that?”
“No shit!” he snapped, causing Frogger to hurl himself into the road. “It’s like the phone knows when I’m was thinkin’ about her.” Probably because he was always thinking about her. Maybe he couldn’t stop it because his love for her was the one thing he couldn’t really control.
With his new powers, he could have anything, but all Darin wanted was Mrs. Kiveat.

THERE IS A FICLET AT THE END OF THIS!
I just checked my inbox. There are 8 Henry prompts.
EIGHT.
I want to tell you a little story about the Henry universe and how I came to write it. The short version is that it was inspired by Mrs. Doubtfire.
When I got the prompt that initially made me write Henry in the first place I was like Oh! It would be so easy to make him unlikeable and have her longing for Mulder. Write a character like Daniel who just wants her to be a stunning and brilliant accessory, but who could never APPRECIATE her.
But for whatever reason I recalled watching Mrs. Doubtfire as both a kid and an adult, and how those experiences differed. I thought, what if Scully got Pierce Brosnan’s character? A really wonderful guy who adores her and is a great dad and isn’t like…idk…gonna disappear to Patagonia for 6 months.
As a kid I wanted Sally Field/Miranda to go back to the Fun Dad. As a woman? Scully, my darling love, let him go.
And that conflict is what makes it fun and challenging to write. If the choice feels obvious then what’s the fun in doing it? But if you have to struggle along with her and decide if you/Scully/Sally Field want stability or adventure, it’s a better journey.
***
It’s two in the morning and Wicket, the impossibly fluffy dog, is whining at a thunderstorm. She strokes his lush head, palms the hot silky flap of an ear.
Her phone rings and she closes her dry eyes.
She answers it without a word.
“You always loved storms,” he says. “I knew you’d be up.”
Wicket mouths her hand gently. The thick of her palm.
“Remember Darin Oswald?” he goes on. “That motherfucker. I still think of him when there’s lightning.”
The silence after is long and lazy and safe, like a July afternoon hammock or miles of Colorado highway.
Thunder booms and Wicket huddles against her.
She last fucked Mulder in a storm like this, on his last birthday, with her husband’s blessing, and it shames her like nothing she’s ever done. Not even William.
What shames her is the rightness of it, the way she so easily said yes, Dana, yes, all the gods of Olympus and Asgard and Tir Na Nog want it for you, lass.
She swallows into the thunder again when she wants to scream. She cants her face to the cold, cold moon.
“Scully?” His voice, his voice; she’d followed it to the grave and past.
Scully opens her eyes. “Yes,” she breathes. “I remember.”
Hears him smile in the dark. “The nineties,” he muses. “What a fucking time.”
“My bangs,” she laughs. “My shoulder pads.”
“My ties.”
Lightning like the primordial earth, like millions of years of volcanoes and oxygen emissions and gorgeous, promiscuous carbon.
Wicket panting.
Her twins - Joan’s twins - safe in the dark. Viv, blonde and beautiful.
Fucking him - no, Dana, be honest - making love - on that sticky couch. Leather-bound books and Mulder’s rich boy wardrobe and the way she’d gotten a better stylist and a better tailor because he was so goddamn beautiful.
Kissing him before 9/11 when you could wait at the airport with balloons, Jesus, kissing him between the millennium and 9/11 in that hot, sweet bubble and -
“Scully?”
The dog keens into the night. Her dog, Henry’s dog, and thunder and thunder and thunder, rolling like the drums of Moria.
She hangs up the phone and weeps her divided love into Wicket’s plush ruff.

Valerio Olgiati und der schöne rote Beton - Farbbeton zwischen Ästhetik und Betontechnik
Valerio Olgiati und der schöne rote Beton – Farbbeton zwischen Ästhetik und Betontechnik
Der Schweizer Architekt Valerio Olgiati erhält für sein monumentales und doch archaisches Entwerfen weltweite Resonanz. Diese Monumentalität kommt vor allem auch in Olgiatis Denken zutage, das an die großen Ideen der Philosophie anknüpft, dabei an Oswald Spengler oder Friedrich Nietzsche anknüpft. Darin zeigt sich Größe: Darin, dass das sich das eigene Wirken nicht nur in der eigenen Disziplin…

All Eyes Lead to the Truth | Season Three Master Post
We’ve come to the conclusion of a momentous season! From some of the most iconic episodes to some of the most beloved characters, season three was full of intense chapters!
Check out this thread to see all the characters we got to meet!
3x01 | The Blessing Way - The Well-Manicured Man (@fridaysat9
They were all living on the precipice of the end of the human race, but they were only concerned with jobs, school assignments, and playdates.
Life, as it should be.
3x02 | Paper Clip - Victor Klemper (@monikafilefan)
The offspring of a rebel syndicate member unearthing truths Victor has spent decades trying to bury beneath buttercups and begonias has marked him for certain death.
3x03 | D.P.O. - Darin Peter Oswald (@gaycrouton)
His friend was scared of him, and it made Darin feel powerful.
3x04 | Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose - Clyde Bruckman (@fridaysat9)
A funny thing happens when you see your own death. At first you try to make sense of it– what could it mean, why the tears, why her? Then you try to change it.
3x05 | The List - Dr. Juan Ullrich (@monikafilefan)
Juan fidgets with an evidence bag, trying not to blatantly stare at the agents holding an entire conversation with their eyes while systematically categorizing every sway of their bodies, every touch of her hands.
3x06 | 2Shy - Lauren MacKalvey (@gaycrouton)
2SHY > You have no idea how beautiful I think you are. I must confess… I feel inextricably drawn to you. I can’t stop thinking about what you said the other day… You don’t deserve to feel lonely, Lauren.
3x07 | The Walk - Leonard 'Rappo' Trimble (@admiralty-xfd)
Every night, he walks again. And every morning he wakes in the same bed with the same phantom pain. Every day he wishes he’d just died; that explosion that didn’t quite kill him cost him his life, anyway.
3x08 | Oubliette - Lucy Householder (@monikafilefan)
She has to go. It’s all so clear now. She has to go back. Through the woods, through the house — into the dark. Maybe she was never meant to leave it at all.
3x09 | Nisei - Penny Northern (@gaycrouton)
It was the strength of these women that got her through those experiences, and it was the strength of these women that would help her embark on this dark path they were all destined to walk.
3x10 | 731 - First Elder (The Well-Fed Man) (@admiralty-xfd)
The one thing that can be manipulated more effectively than any other is her fear of the unknown… of what happened to her last year.
3x11 | Revelations - Owen Lee Jarvis (@fridaysat9)
He gave of himself, abandoning what little life he’d had, to honor God’s words and do as he had been called.
3x12 | War of the Coprohages - Dr. Bambi Berenbaum (@gaycrouton)
Bambi felt a flush spread across her chest as his hypothesis brought a smile to her face. Hearing that he hadn’t been merely indulging her earlier was a refreshing change of pace.
3x13 | Syzygy - Detective Angela White (@admiralty-xfd)
Detective White stops as Agent Scully finally glances over at her, somewhat defensively. And then she gets it. Everything about the way she’s been treated since the agents arrived makes perfect sense.
3x14 | Grotesque - Agent Bill Patterson (@fridaysat9)
Patterson figured that Mulder might have a theory about a potential copycat killer, but no; he’d been researching gargoyles and goblins. Monsters recorded in dusty old tomes pulled from the library shelves.
3x15 | Piper Maru - Kimberly (@monikafilefan)
Kimberly Cook is good at her secretarial job. So when the man she’s been working closely with for two years is troubled, she refuses to let him file the feeling away like some confidential case in his cabinet.
3x16 | Apocrypha - Luis Cardinal (@admiralty-xfd)
The Scully woman is not simply angry, she’s unhinged. And there’s a small part of him that understands; it’s the part of him that, prior to working for the Smoker, had never been asked to shoot an innocent woman before.
3x17 | Pusher - Agent Frank Burst (@fridaysat9)
Frank doesn’t care if he has to tell him his mother’s maiden name and his favorite breakfast cereal if it means getting his location.
3x18 | Teso Dos Bichos - Officer (@monikafilefan)
He doesn’t get paid enough for this shit.
3x19 | Hell Money - Hsin Shuyang (@gaycrouton)
The gods might not be listening, but the devil was waiting for him down the street, ready to play a game with all the men whose American dreams had turned into nightmares.
3x20 | Jose Chung's From Outer Space - Detective Manners (@fridaysat9)
That's a bleepin' dead alien body, if I ever bleepin' saw one.
3x21 | Avatar - Carina Sayles (@monikafilefan)
She can tell he doesn’t do this. Doesn’t drink alone in a bar, letting a stranger slowly seduce him.
3x22 | Quagmire - Queequeg (@gaycrouton)
Queequeg was loved.
3x23 | Wetwired - 'Doctor' Stroman (@admiralty-xfd)
Another town, another test, another shitty motel room… but always the same boss.
3x24 | Talitha Cumi - Teena Mulder (@monikafilefan)
If only Bill had known back then that the untrustworthy person he was referring to would sleep with his wife and father his son.
Stay tuned for more perspectives coming in Season Four!
1 | 2 | 3 | 4

✨Trivia for “D.P.O.”✨
- The Filter song "Hey Man, Nice Shot,"used throughout this episode, was written about the television broadcast of Pennsylvania politician R. Budd Dwyer's suicide. Dwyer, a much beloved community leader during the 1980s, was caught in a bribery scandal. His shame and embarrassment drove him to publicly shoot himself during a press conference. Later that day, a number of television stations throughout Pennsylvania broadcast taped footage of Dwyer's suicide to a midday audience.
- Giovanni Ribisi had to audition twice before being cast as title character Darin Peter Oswald.
- Mulder stumbles upon a picture of Sharon Kiveat whilst flipping through Darin's porno magazine. The actress who plays Sharon, Karen Lorre née Witter, was Playboy Playmate of the Month for March 1982.
- The sideways shot of Mrs. Kiveat's legs--as viewed by D.P.O. from under the car he's working on--is accompanied by the Filter song "Hey Man, Nice Shot" (in a subtle reference to D.P.O.'s admiration of Mrs. Kiveat's legs). Filter's frontman is Richard Patrick, whose older brother Robert Patrick would later became an The X-Files (1993) regular.
- Jack Black, the character "Zero," also auditioned for the part of "D.P.O."
- During production of this episode, director Kim Manners' best friend and his friend's son were killed. Manners was offered the chance of passing on this episode, but he decided to stay on board.
- As a meta in-joke, during this episode's end credits, Chris Carter's usual on-screen end credit eerily appears on Darin's TV. It appears as if Darin had just caught the end of an X-Files episode while channel surfing.
- At the end of the episode, the song being played is "Live Fast, Diarrhea" by The Vandals. This band and song title are displayed on the T-shirt that Darin wears throughout the episode.
- The Astadourian Lightning Observatory is named for Mary Astadourian, chief researcher and office manager at 1013 Productions, and Chris Carter's personal assistant.
- The "Sonic the Hedgehog" theme is played several times at the arcade hall.
- While his mother is watching a Jerry Springer-type show, Darin switches to a channel broadcasting an actual music video. The video/song (released by Fox Records) is entitled "Catherine" and performed by a real 90's band called The Rosemarys. However, fake credits for the music video appear on the TV screen: the song's title is "Mary Beth Clarke, I Love You"; it is produced by "JHartling Records"; and it is directed by a person named "Deb Brown." These fake credits were actually an in-joke just for the members of the AOL X-Philes Forum, a now defunct online community of X-Files fans. Mary Beth Clarke, JHartling, and Deb Brown were all known members of that community.
- Several crew, including episode director Kim Manners, make a cameo in the form of the yearbook page that Scully flips open.
- The arcade game played at the beginning of the episode is Virtua Fighter.
- "Hey Man, Nice Shot" was also used in The Cable Guy (1996) featuring Jack Black who plays Bart 'Zero' Liquori in this episode.
- The license plates on the tow truck are the proper ones from Oklahoma at that time.
- The title of this episode is taken from the initials of the character "Darin Peter Oswald." The initials are seen on the high-score screen of what appears to be Darren's favorite video game.
- The original concept for the episode was a one line concept card stating "Lightning Boy" that had been tacked to a board in series creator Chris Carter's office since the first season. The episode contained several scenes of elaborate lightning effects. Notably, a "lightning machine" used for the sequence where Darin is struck by lightning was created by Special Effects Supervisor David Gauthier and buried under the ground.
- The show's writers decided to approach the boy's power "as a metaphor for disenfranchised adolescence". Writer Howard Gordon described the episode's concept as "Beavis and Butt-head electrified".
- The sheriff, Teller, was named after Teller from illusion and comedy duo Penn & Teller.
- The farmhouse used for Darin's home, situated in Albion, British Columbia,[7] had been used during the production of the movies Jennifer Eight (1992) and Jumanji (1995).
- The producers had difficulty securing permission to use a dead cow in the episode. The art crew tried to create a faux-dead cow, but it did not look real. Consequently, the producers reached out to a slaughterhouse and were able to use a real corpse.
D.P.O. Page on the Official X-Files Website
- The line "‘Cause I’m in the mood for a little barbecue." was originally "‘Cause I’m in the mood for a Quarter Pounder", but the mention to McDonald's' sandwich was cut. Chris Carter still jokingly suggested to paint golden arches on the truck that picks up the dead cow.
