It’s the Midsomer Murders theory of crime solving: Just wait until the perp has finished off the entire population of the village/hamlet/castle/renovated fairground but for him/herself and you’ve got your man!

(Just came across this strip from someone’s link on Skin Horse on Friday. It is excellent!)

It’s the method all Great Detectives use: if you can’t catch the killer, wait for more murders. Gives you time to think. If you solve the case, you then get the kudos of catching a badass who slaughtered ten people rather than a wimp who just killed one.

Your shadow taxes go toward important things; like Mulder’s porn collection and Cancerman’s 80 pack a day habit. Seriously, there’s like special checkboxes on their expense reports just for them.

Now I can’t wait for Det. John Munch’s cameo.

This episode really could have done with more Voodoo. But then it’d be just like that Voodoo episode… ah well.
