With the forthcoming release of JCVD my thoughts turn to metatelevision shows I have loved and the memories they have left me. The success of pomo and meta techniques rely on accomplished scriptwriters and actors, which all these shows share with aplomb. Curiously David Duchovny is the most common recurring link between most of these shows. This may mean that Fox Mulder is the most important character in my pop cultural universe or that David Duchovny has a really good agent.
