Review of Lazarus

The X-Files: Lazarus (1994)
Season 1, Episode 15
5/10
No Relationship to Reality

Warning: Spoilers
This episode supposedly ends in Catonsville and then Arbutus in Baltimore County. I have lived in both areas (not far from each other), and the locations used in the episode bear little resemblance to reality.

1) There is no "Catonsville PD." There are no incorporated cities in Baltimore County. The lowest level of law enforcement is the Baltimore County Police Dept (good at speed traps and not much else).

2) Both areas are middle class--older houses but well kept. God knows why they thought it was rundown like the episode shows.

3) Washington County Airport? There is a Washington County in Maryland, and it may have an airport, but it's nowhere near Baltimore County. They may have been thinking of BWI (Baltimore-Washington International) which would have been Friendship at the time, but that's a large commercial airport. No light planes.

I realize these episodes were shot in Canada, but I'd think they'd know a bit more about the environs of DC.
