It certainly didn't seem all that gory to me. The various L&Os have shown things as graphic, and this didn't wallow in it like CSI. I'm only really grossed out by maggots, though.
Buffy: Where are the burgers? Riley: Yeah man, I'm starving. Cow me. Xander: I'd love to make with the moo but the fire's not cooperating.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

I can't watch operations on Nip/Tuck either, but the gore here didn't bother me.
(I've got a friend who doesn't watch Nip/Tuck or c.s.i. but loves to watch those plastic surgery shows on E!, MTV, ABC and anywhere else they show them.)

I think Paul takes his "conscience" duties very seriously. Too seriously, probably, and I think he's going to get hurt.
this. i also think he's going to become way too overprotective of Rebecca and she's going to tell him where to go.

I found it less gory than CSI. And way less gory than Fear Factor.

As someone who has had needles poked in her eye, it looks worse than it feels.
Okay, the show didn't gross me out, but I'm thinking of reporting SailAweigh to Standards & Practices.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Hey, she's not really dead.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I think Paul takes his "conscience" duties very seriously.
I see Web's saying things in reference to owning Becky as a way to make Paul be more protective of her since she's so green.
Web surprises.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
Tim, I thought it was just gory enough to put me on edge and keep from feeling 'safe'. Let's us know how far you are willing to go, and that we could be slapped in the face with something awful at any time.
And enough that my over-active imagination is going to keep revisiting a scenario where someone peels off one of their hands and is able to keep trying at the other for a bit. Shudder.

Tim, I'm squeamish as hell and I had no problem. I mentioned it earlier, but even NCIS has more gore than that on a fairly regular basis. So yes, I think the fact that it was even brought up is odd.
(I think I was misinterpreted on this before; I'm not saying 'NCIS is better because it's gorier'; I'm saying 'the media is freaking out for no reason.')
