I just watched the dub for 2x09 and oh my goodness. Gojo's voice actor killed it. The little hitch in his breath between saying 'No' and 'It really is him'? Guys I'm sobbing.

More trivia! (this time with Extra Maps™)

For interest's sake I was trying to figure out where in Poitiers Cleo’s hôtel particulier might be, plus identify the train stations featured during Carmen's trip to Paris—and I think I’ve figured (most of) it out.

First of all, Carmen is supposed to be fifty yards from the townhouse in this shot.

That puts the building somewhere on the east side of the River Clain, slightly north of the Cathédrale Saint-Pierre de Poitiers, but not too far from what looks like the Pont Joubert (the little bridge in the lower right corner). The Caserne d’Aboville (barracks for the 9e Brigade d'Infanterie de Marine) would be a reasonable stand-in for location, and even looks a little similar in terms of architectural style.

The station Carmen flies in to also bears a more-than-passing resemblance to the real Gare de Poitiers

but the pattern of terrain she passes over doesn’t quite fit with what appears to be a southerly approach.

However! This particular background gets rotated and recycled about ten seconds after initial use (left being its first appearance, rotated for comparison; right is unaltered but from ten seconds later), and if we go by the second version,

the curve of the river is a close-enough fit for having taken a path like so

with the little arrow being her upcoming destination, the Gare de Poitiers. Unfortunately I could not match the station Carmen’s train briefly stops at to a real location en route to Paris

so if anyone recognizes it, please let me know! Which leads me to the other ‘???’ moment I had while working on this because

...yeah. Yeah, I’ve got NO idea what’s going on with Player’s map here. He's got France oriented in the usual 'up is north' way, but that just makes it weirder? Because by that compass, Carmen is moving south—even though Paris is east and NORTH of Poitiers.

Though this show does get a little fuzzy with its geography at times*cough*Interpol's HQ is in LYON*coughcough*and Devineaux’s conspiracy map has the Canary Islands on the WRONG side of Africa*cough*

Anyway, after Player regains Carmen’s signal, her GPS marker is heading in approximately the right direction

answering exactly zero questions about where it was going earlier, but all’s well that still ends (somehow) in Paris, I guess? The Gare du Nord then looks to be the best match for where Carmen makes her exit

even if all direct trains from Poitiers to Paris seem to go to Gare Montparnasse instead.

Update: this seems to have turned into a bit of a series, so check the reblogs to get an episode-by-episode for the rest of S1! A full-show overview is here. Also, the street Chase and Julia are driving down at the very beginning of the episode looks to be none other than the Rue de la Cathédrale, as the structure behind them is consistent with the Cathédrale Saint-Pierre’s south tower. From a cartographic standpoint, it does place them on the wrong side of the Clain as well as moving in the opposite direction of Cleo’s residence, but that’s where the artistic licence comes in, I guess. ;)

How will Mike be the central and fifth victim of Vecna. Also, how will the party and Co. feel about that?

It has to do with his central 5 imagery. I'm assuming he's gonna end up in the library bc of the way he's framed upon the Cali gangs return. I don't see the party and Co. reacting well to Mike being taken after all they make a point of showing us Karen saying that Mike is "staying right here" which in itself is an ominous line.

a, "what did Mulder say to Trepkos after the camera cut away" little story.

not rated/2,855 words/read full on ao3 here

The gun stared Mulder down like an old friend and one of the first, few differences between him and Trepkos reared its head. Trepkos was theory and practice in a contained space, people gave him what he wanted and needed. Mulder was practice to prove theory and he was used to getting stopped. Trepkos got what Trepkos wanted. Mulder never had that luxury, having to scrape his fingernails down to gain an inch of ground.

“I’m not going to let you leave,” Trepkos said it like Mulder should be scared of him. There was nothing in this burned-up and out man that Mulder found more terrifying than what was happening on the surface. Scully alone with infected O’Neil. Mulder had just gotten her back and it had taken him less than twelve hours to lead her back into the drooling fangs of danger. Appalachian humanity from what felt like a lifetime ago made Mulder stiffen now across the country.

“Then you’re going to have to shoot me,” Mulder replied without flinching. He’ll die trying to get to Scully and even then he would stumble onto his feet to get to her side. Unlike months before, Mulder wasn’t helpless. There are no invisible puppet masters in the sky slapping their hands down in front of him to prevent his way, just a sweaty scientist who already lost everything.

“You think the FBI won’t be knocking on your door if I don’t come back?” Mulder asked. Trepkos doesn’t need to know that there’s only one person who would care and she’s upstairs. “How would that do for your cover-up operation? The spore would get out and you’d go to jail for murder.”

Trepkos hesitated slightly but held his ground. “They’ll shut down this experiment, never find the spore, and I’m not infected.” Trepkos nodded at Mulder. “Can’t say the same for you, now can I?”

Mulder attempted to move past but was stopped by Trepkos cocking the gun. The click filled the cave, echoed down its corridors. It's a serious situation Mulder couldn’t give less than a shit about. He was more irritated than scared at this point as copious amounts of adrenaline pumped through his veins. Trepkos may have a freshly created body count but he’s still wet behind the ears. Mulder’s used to people wanting to shoot him in the mouth.

“I’m serious,” Trepkos said when Mulder didn’t back down. “I killed my colleagues, you think I won’t do the same to you?”

“I don’t doubt it,” Mulder replied.

He needed this over with. He was calm on the outside but the clock was running out of time for Scully. Every second was a second wasted. All Mulder could imagine was those spores going down Scully’s throat, the fungus taking over her body and bursting through her neck in a failed attempt to reproduce. His mouth went dry as the air got hotter and hotter. He needed to get up there, he couldn’t lose her after just getting her back.

Mulder took a step closer to the other man. He needed something bold, something to take control of the situation and push it in his favor. It took Trepkos by surprise, his fingers slipping slightly on the handle.

“But if you think I’m going to leave Scully up there, you’re not as smart as they say you are.”
