Scully: Sees impossible evidence about people being instantly cremated into the ground
Scully: Then sees the perpetrator was involved in a highly technical and dangerous experiment. Then ALSO sees his shadow burned into the wall
Scully: "Nah it's all just coincedence and delusion. Nothing paranormal going on with him. Anyway let's go"
At least Mulder had some sense in believing the situation and wanting more to be done, but still, he could have said to the detectives something along these lines: "This guy was involved in a highly dangerous experiment. He is a professor of physics, you can check his credentials and the lead scientist he was involved in an experiment, and it went wrong, and it's caused a type of radioactivity on him (he's lying about the radioactivity instead of instant shadow cremation to help sell it more). You need to take special measures in order to prevent anyone else from dying (or he could he say you need a quarentine unit, or he could call in specialist FBI help). We've already seen evidence from the radioactivity with the victims deaths, including two cops who had guns on him, showing this is an ABSOLUTELY DANGEROUS SITUATION"
But nah, Mulder and Scully are like "Anyway, nevermind, he's all yours, bye. Oh btw keep him in soft light all the way of the journey there and when he's there keep in soft light (never explains why or reasoning like i mentioned, he just throws it out there)."
Ugh.
At least Mulder then contacts his source about it... But doesn't tell him the truth about the guy's abilities... Which then caused two innocent deaths, and prevented his source from capturing the guy, which would have spared more innocent deaths like with the detective.
Ugh.
I enjoyed the episode overall, as seen by my rating, but i have some problems with it like those mentioned above.
