A random thought concerning American Gods

You know, I was re-reading American Gods recently, and I was struck with a thought.
With new episodes of the X-files coming up somewhere in late 2017 or 2018 and the American Gods show having cast  Gillian Anderson as Media...

Wouldn't it be cool if there was a promotion for the American Gods tv show disguised as an X-files episode where Scully and Mulder are walking across a street or are sitting in a room or whatever...
It's business as usual and then suddenly Scully would halt and start to stare right at the camera until Mulder moves off screen, apparently just going on with the episode without her. And then she would start holding an apparently one-sided conversation and then eventually she would ask "Did you ever want to see Scully's tits?" And she would start to unbutton her blouse. and then the screen would go black as if someone just shut off the tv. A few seconds of blackness and then. WHAM. AMERICAN GODS. And cue trailer.

Or maybe even no title and no trailer. Fades to black and then back to commercials. That would seriously freak people out. "What the hell did I just see, Etc"

I know that this is supposed to be the Lucy character from the book, but this and other pictures could still be an elaborte ploy to make us think that it won't be Scully doing that scene...


I think that would be brilliant.
And don't tell me Duchovny and Anderson wouldn't be up for it, Have you taken a look at their twitter accounts?

PS; And you can bet when Ricky Whittle as Shadow turns off the tv at that point in the show. People are going to be swearing and cursing so hard that it would be a miracle if his head didn't explode.
