I think I liked the X Files better...

...before I moved to the DC area.

I know they filmed the show in Vancouver, BC for the most part. But the thing is some of the locations don't even resemble the actual places.

For example, in the episode Colony (2nd season) they pursue a guy in Germantown, MD. But they do it through dark and narrow alleys, resembling a NYC-type city.

Germantown, MD is a somewhat-new city, a suburb, with many many houses, not many apartment complexes. Plus they have a few companies around, mostly government contracting ones. The roads are very wide. Plus, back in 1994 I bet there wasn't much around that area since it's still in development as of now.

I just think they'd make the thing a little more believable... The narrow, dark alleys would have resembled Baltimore, MD much more, for example. In the Tooms episodes, the Vancouver-Baltimore actually resembles Baltimore. Just a thought.

Oh, and the subsequent End Game episode, they meet at the "Old Memorial bridge" in Bethesda. There is no Old memorial Bridge in Bethesda. I used to live there, I'd know. I even googled it to make sure I was right :)

Yes, I know, I am a pain when it comes to details... :P

Re.

Considerando como os americanos e resto do mundo em geral acha que Buenos Aires é a capital do Brasil. Um pouquinho de incoerência geográfica é esperada, hehe. Fosse há 10 anos, eu ficaria doida por um tour nas locações.
