           Lazarus 1.15


() 90's style   - The 'southwest' themed wool jacket is honestly something I can see people pulling out of their
closet for fall today; it's so offbeat it's timeless (note:  I have zero fashion sense). Scully once again graces
us with a double-breasted pant suit. The inside of Mulder's black trenchcoat is a bright red which is fantastic.
Lula's beret gives off big time Jill Valentine from Resident Evil vibes

() 90's tech    - Big CRT-style EKGs and hospital monitors - those carts must have weighed a ton to move around the ER.
Tube TVs mounted in the patient rooms along with touch-tone phones. Paper EKG strip. Mulder's large brick cellphone with
the pull-out antenna. We also get treated to a pager sighting. Dr. Varnes lab is a treasure trove of things any 90's HS
or University student would recognize - the gigantic microscopes, the large metal static electricty ball, vacuum tubes, etc.
Because we weren't even in the MapQuest era, Mulder's office has a large map (of Illinois for some reason) on a bulletin
board complete with magnifying mechanism.
All that analog tape equipment used for recording and analyzing the phone call from Scully's kidnapper.

() 90's life    - The opening bank robbery breaks out the 'I'll execute every last one of you!' line (minus the F-Bomb, of course)
a few months before "Pulp Fiction" would come out. It's also crazy to see rows of pamphlets in the bank. We also have a dusty
rose 90's pink color on the curtains behind the bank tellers.  It must have been federal law to have at least one wall of every
building painted in that institutional 'sea foam' green color. I haven't been on a college campus in quite some time, but I would
bet there aren't nearly as many posters and ads with the tear off numbers at the bottom. Randon reference to nicotine gum by the
crime scene detective in its first decade or so of widespread use.



Notes: Between the beige equipment, the wood paneled furniture, green 'horror movie institution' scrubs and the bare bones
phones and TVs, that would be a depressing era to be in the hospital.
