Yup. I live in northernish VA, and it was always funny seeing mulder and scully roll through my hometown with trees in the background I’ve never seen in my life

You can tell the show is unrealistic because if it was realistic, half of the scenes would be them sitting in traffic on 66/495

The X-Files cracks me up. Ah yes, mountains covered with coniferous trees in the background, this is clearly rural Iowa.

Thanks and fuck you. Now my brain can't be unwired to catch details like that for the rest of my life.

Though in a strange twist, I know have a greater understanding why Cleveland is always used by marvel since Ohio doesn't exist.

Pssh, shows what you know. The forest moon of Endor looks lie northern CA redwood forests, WHICH ARE TOTALLY DIFFERENT.

Plus all the news anchors are from Vancouver too.

Chris Gailus is in Sonic the Hedgehog. Tony Parsons was in The Pledge and Saving Silverman (and Masterminds, which has parallels to DHWAV plus Patrick Stewart in a mustache!) Tamara Taggart was in a ton of movies in the early 2000s.

Surprisingly good supporting cast. Patrick Stewart, Matt Craven, and Callum Keith Rennie as I recall (though the fake accent on the latter...)
