As have others, I was thinking the same thing. But I also noticed this
occurence in previous seasons with the whole "insect hive" sort of plot
they had going.
I'm personally convinced at least one of the writers, perhaps even Chris
Carter himself, has been exposed to some of the general SR plotlines. I
doubt Carter actually plays SR, but I wouldn't be totally suprised if I
were to find out he had heard of the game. It's far more likely one of the
writers either plays or has a friend that plays SR.
