Okay, so I SWEAR that a few months(?) back I saw a preview for a movie about making a television show, and it starred David Duchovny and Fran Kranz and I think some other awesome people that I can't remember right now? And I saw the trailer and got all excited because it looked right up my alley? And the I never heard another thing about it again? DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT? This is an actual thing that existed, correct? I did not dream this up?

Oh! I am 8 episodes into S4. I am liking it very much and more all of the time. The last episode I saw was the Cigarette Smoking Man's backstory one? Which was simultaneously ridiculous and excellent. Ridiculous because are we seriously supposed to believe that he runs every single thing including the Super Bowl? Excellent because character-study-wise it did a very good job.

Of course I like the more mytharc episodes than the MotW ones. Honestly, I've sometimes gotten hung up on an episode and it takes me a while to get past it? Which is what's taking me so long to watch it, I guess. But I do love it very, very much, mostly because Scully and Mulder and Skinner, etc. are just such ridiculously awesome characters.

Ah, "Musings of a Cigarette Smoking Man"! I don't think we're meant to take it all seriously, particularly the Super Bowl and Oscar rigging, but I have to say, I love his anti-Forest Gump speech.

And looking at an episode guide, I see that the next episode is "Paper Hearts", which is OMG excellent. S4 is a bizarre mixture of amazingly awesome episodes and totally forgettable episodes. Without being spoilery, I can tell you you've got some huuuge mytharc stuff coming up very soon.

ETA: I'm sorry, I'm editing because the episode guide I was looking at listed the eps in production order, not the order they aired in. So, "Paper Hearts" is still a couple of episodes away, and new mytharc stuff is coming right up!

The Anti-Forrest Gump speech was BRILLIANT, actually.

"! I don't think we're meant to take it all seriously, particularly the Super Bowl and Oscar rigging

I can see that, it was just sort of confusing for me because the tone of the episode was very serious? I don't know. I need to watch that scene again, I think.

I am excited about what's up next! I've taken off TV-watching this week so I can get caught up on ASoIaF before the new book comes out, but after that, I will be diving back into the show again--I've missed it!
