They sure didn't make Arthur very sympathetic.  I mean, sure, he's a killer, but usually unless they're just crazy they have some good reason behind it.  But this guy... just seemed pissed that his coworkers were going to finish a project they'd all been cooperatively working on, and he wasn't going to get any of the glory because he's dead.  Now for a bit they made it seem like they were going to say Arthur had been killed by them, but they never did.  They said there wasn't an apparent reason for his car crash, and showed one of the survivors to be a douche, but that's not nearly enough.

124: '''The Erlenmeyer Flask''' ''[[1994]] [[May 13]]''
Crazy microscope lady says something like "This isn't found in nature.  That means by definition it's extra-terrestrial!"  Whoa whoa whoa, hold your horses.  Does that make Twinkies and Wiis extraterrestrial?
DVD note: The reveal of the frozen body just isn't such a big reveal when it's the DVD menu image for the episode.  And the season.  And the main image on the case for the season.
So Deep Throat is shot and killed here.  This leaves me with a few procedural questions.  One, how do Mulder and Scully report this?  Anonymously, and ditch him there?  Say that their super secret source was shot during a trade-off of stolen goods?  And though I don't think this is mentioned until early next season, Mulder says he looked at the guy's funeral.  So at least THEY now know the guy's real name and official position, but they're not bothering to tell the viewer?
