IT IS EASIER TO TALK TO NEW PEOPLE WHEN YOU ARE FEELING CONFIDENT

GUYS. THIS IS A POWER POINT.

No "kinky" hair, hm? Color me not surprised.

The writer makes a point of properly introducing you to the victims and making them people first before they're just a body — he did this intentionally.

And the funny thing is, he's a weirdly feminist misogynist, if you'll forgive the oxymoron. I'm thinking of the scene where he puts on his grief counselor hat and tells one of his own near-victims that "Nothing you did or could ever do made this happen to you. It's all on the person who attacked you."

I was waiting for the anti-circumcision blowhards (pun intended) to get here.

he's positively demure.

No, they were down. These shows have at least one dress rehearsal usually and the clothes are fitted to the models way before. There are no surprises for the models working.

When he looks into the camera and is like "WHY ARE YOU WATCHING THIS? ARE YOU SICK?"

True, but the show does several important things:

That, and the bit in the interrogation where she says something about "people who watch shows about people like you." As in, serial killers. Like, we're suddenly all complicit in this, and it's horrifying because it's true.

I want to see the rest of this one... The little glimpse is killing me softly.

oops replied to you when I meant to reply to original commenter

Teeeeechnically (and this is an interesting distinction he himself makes) Spector (Dornan's character) doesn't rape the women he kills. He ties them up and strangles them, and only achieves his "release" later when re-living his crimes. So while the violence is there it's not as explicit sexually as most rape scenes,…

It does but not in a glamorized way, at least to me. Its very unsettling in a way that makes you realize, hey, this does happen. It should make you uncomfortable. Also, (and this is brought up in the show) he is driven by sexual desire but he never rapes his victims. Its very multifaceted and richly complex. It's done…

And then it calls the audience right the fuck out on that, more than once. That second season was intense.

So does Law & Order: SVU. The Fall is significantly better.

Jen looks a bit Rita Wilson-y when she has Jimmy's mouth. Which is somehow not one of the weirdest sentences I've written.

Jen might be the best at making facial expressions to accompany the lips that I've seen.

I am so happy for Timothy. The whole exchange between him, Richard Lawson, and Erin was very exciting.
