Division/Section Chief Blevins is unfortunately already breaking my rule of thumb that the sillier an x-files character's tie is, the more trustworthy they are. However, I will note how the pattern looks a bit like eyes rotated sideways. Maybe this is a nod to how 1. they're sending Scully to spy on Mulder, and 2. there's gonna be a big theme of watching and spying by the government in this show. (Also, gotta love those glasses.)

And hey, it's everybody's old least favorite, Cigarette Smoking Man! He is wearing an Extremely Nondescript Suit of a rather hard to determine color-- I think it's either dark blue or dark grey, and looks different in different caps. Ah, X Files Lighting. Nonetheless, very standard business colors. He's also got a plain white shirt and what looks to be a plain black tie (suspicious!) It's easy to forget that before he was an unnamed main antagonist, he was an unnamed background character. He's menacing in his background-ness and in his, well, outward average-ness.

And then, of course, we can't forget Third Man.

This is about all we see of him. He is also wearing standard dark business clothes. He's mostly there to add to the Menace tm.

The shot-reverse shot shooting of this scene keeps contrasting these three darkly dressed old guys with our very own Doctor Agent Scully, in her light grey plaid. This provides a visual difference between The Government and Scully. She's in the room with them, but she isn't the same as them.

Actually, I don’t think I’m ever going to stop being pissy about the fact that we never learned what happened to Blevin. He’s built up in Season 1 as Dedra’s main foil within the ISB; a guy whose competent complacency has been rewarded with six sectors; a guy who follows the rules not because it’s the right thing to do, but because 1. It’s easier than breaking them to solve problems that could otherwise be ignored or passed down to someone of lesser rank, and 2. It’ll get him promoted. He’s close to Dedra’s age, but a big deal is made about her youth while Blevin’s “climbed higher” in comparison and he’s not much older. He’s irritating, and he’s arrogant, and most if not all of his attendants seem to be women which does make me raise my eyebrows, but. He was a central component of the Imperial plot in Season 1, and he’s a massive, unresolved question mark in Season 2.

We don’t see him have a Ferrix-scale failure at the end of the first season, so it’s not likely he was demoted. Yet, he’s not there a year later. Was he promoted out of Partagaz’ office? How would that work, considering Lagret seems of high rank and still reports to Partagaz? Did Blevin transfer to a different sector? Did he quit? Did he die? We don’t know. All we know is that Heert’s sitting in his chair, and while I understand the narrative juiciness of pitting Dedra against her former assistant, it’s sad, to me, that Blevin doesn’t even get a line of dialogue to explain where he went. He has some of the best lines in the show, but he vanishes without a word.

Might be a weird thing to say, but Blevin deserved better. Or… maybe not better, but he deserved something, at least.

This post rolled across my dash today and I remarked to my sibling that this is something Jova Tarkin would do and say. They noted that young Wilhuff would never have heard that word before, which naturally led me to create this template on my way to class.
