dear the internet: that is not cool. that is stupid.
Did you know that Veronica Mars rents a car from the same fictional rental company, Lariat, that Mulder and Scully rent cars from? TV is one big in-joke! You heard it here first!

All this really proves is that the X-Files is the center of the TV universe. Which we knew already.
You know, that's so true. Watching the whole series (including the movie which I have never seen) is my summer project, and I have to say, without this show so many other shows probably never would have gotten made. It's so ambiguous, and dark, and it has these arcs that go on forever. And the characters actually change over time, instead of exhibiting the no-long-term-memory symptoms so many TV characters have.
Oh, and Scully totally wants me.
Scully DOES want you. It's odd that you're only twigging to that now.
And yeah, a couple of years ago (around when Lost launched) it became clear that the X-Files is the lynchpin to the entire current television universe. Nobody knew it at the time but that show was the first salvo of the next generation of TV. Television 2.0, if you will. Besides being one of the first shows to do mytharc storytelling, it was also one of the first shows to use the internet as a fanbase builder/discussion area, and one of the first shows to treat television as a cinematic medium rather than shooting everything flat, and one of the first shows to make selling full seasons of the series on DVD into a marketable part of its audience strategy.
Oh: now I'm babbling.
I've been thinking about what an exhausting show it must have been to make, which is something that I guess the show's stars have indicated in interviews as well. I mean, basically it had movie-like production values, except they were making am episode very couple weeks. Crazy. I know all one-hour TV shows have mad production schedules, but it seems like that would be even more true for the X-Files.
I also love how ambiguous and unresolved the endings to individual episodes often are--it's very un-TV-like.
I'm babbling too, but then, what is my blog for if not babbling? It's a babble-fest.
We can babble. It's within our rights.
