Take It From The Tinkersons

Take It From The Tinkersons

Reminds me of me and my wife. We watch a lot of crime dramas and in many of them you don't know who-dun-it, so we speculate. It's curious the way they can make everyone look guilty, it might just be a shifty eyed expression or an inappropriate response. Sometimes we catch them in an outright lie though the coppers don't know it because we saw what really happened, i.e. we get to see only what the producers want us to see. The shows set in small towns seem to be worst on that score. Everyone in town is lying, but they are lying because of some kind of chickenshit beef they have with another person, totally unrelated to the crime. Slimeballs, the lot of them.

You know the people making these shows know exactly what they are doing. They probably have a catalog of suggestive clues they can use to muddy the trail. Sometimes the clues they drop point to everyone but the guilty party. La Mante (The Mantis) did just that. The good looking, friendly young woman in the red sweater turns out to be the killer. Her secret? She was a transsexual and all the victims were men who rejected her once they found out what she was. The actress is not, which might be how she fooled us.
