As of 1994 when we toured the Coroner's Building, they said there were
approximately 30 homicide cops in the PD.  I assumed (though I did not ask)
that this meant that they did more than investigate the approximately
2-per-detective-per-year cases that the approximately 60 murders per year
(some washed up on the shore of the lake from Detroit) would allocate.

There's also bottled blood, now.  It wouldn't
necessarily be necessary to kill to eat.  And I
suspect that it would take more than one warm body to
sastify First Hunger.

Maybe they're rotating it like they do Hercules, etc.  If so, then they
will show around four episodes a month all on the same day, a
mini-marathon.  I hope so.

I checked the scheduebot, and much to my DELIGHT, it's a two-day
marathon.

P.S.  One of my favorite episodes will be shown on 10/17:  Sons of
Belial.  I just loved that episode.
