Absolutely delighted to actually be paying enough attention this X-Files rewatch to realise that Law & Order and The X-Files are same universe lol

Appallingly blurry shot of Detective Munch from Homicide: Life on the Streets and Law & Order: SVU appearing in an episode of the X-Files. A thin rangy older gent with big ears, glasses, coming into an interrogation room introducing himself as the person being interrogated asks "did they find her?"

youtu.be/hKkSv9fwRrI?... Incredibly relevant right now. They want us to ignore our Reason & give in to our Emotion, letting our fear of Project 2025 keep us from fighting back. But we have to listen to Reason, that most of it’s just extremist wishes & not real policies, and it can’t happen overnight
