Uncertainty and TV Science Fiction
"TV Shows."
The hit TV show, starring agents Fox and Mulder, was a thorough investigation of the paranormal. On of the most paranormal things not explored currently, though future serialized movie updates are promised, is Agent Mulder's suspicious growth in height from season 1 to season 4. Did she merely start to use lifts, or was there another force at work. Trick photography, first practiced in films like "Man with a movie camera" are used to abuse items of continuity in episodic narratives. Characters can grow or shrink within the course of a multiseason narrative without regards to the expectations of the viewer for characters to remain the same height, per se, though weight may be expected to vary.
