Heh. The pity is that, while I was never a big fan of the X-Files, some of my favorite episodes were the ones where Mulder was actually operating as a profiler. I think it's because I like seeing characters display their competence, and we'd been told Mulder was a really good profiler, so it was satisfying when that got backed up with actual (fictional) evidence.
Ah well. Now I want to write a story about psychics with empathic gifts that make the profiling thing really work. Except it would probably have to be a story about what psychological wrecks those psychics rapidly become, and that isn't the kind of thing I'm good at . . . .
