FACIAL MICRO EXPRESSIONS FOR WRITERS <3

I wish the ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

one of the many many reasons why the x files works so well as a genre-bending show is that every single character actually is genre-aware, but they're only aware of one of the genres they're in, and they for the most part act solely according to the rules of that genre. mulder and reyes think they're in a paranormal show, scully and doggett think they're in a procedural, skinner and byers think they're in an espionage drama, frohike and langly think they're in a buddy action comedy, etc.

there are two notable exceptions to this:

the smoking man, who is not genre-aware at all

krycek, who is the only person in the whole show who is aware of every single genre they're in, which unfortunately means he's the only one who knows they're also all in a romantic drama

I think what we feared were the possibilities. The truth, we both know.

the problem with mulder’s brain disease isn’t inherently that it’s a retcon (that’s tv) or that he “would have told scully” or whatever. it’s just that the writers weren’t interested in making me believe it. it feels like chris carter started from the image of mulder’s gravestone and worked backwards from there. many such cases

This guy knows what he’s talking about. He’s one of the lead writers for Leverage and if you ever watch the series on DVD, do yourself a favor and listen to him talk about how the scripts got written. Some of the advice he has is stuff I use all the time: 1. Don’t introduce an important plot person or thing after the first half of the story. 2. Always tie up loose ends. 3. Introduce important things in the middle of unimportant things. 4. If you have to infodump, find an emotion to tie it to and it will seem less like infodump and more like a motive rant. Seriously this guy knows how to write.
