Ha! Excellent.
Now, this would be the perfect time for a swear word.

made me cut a shot of Strong's belt being whipped off
It wasn't needed, from what I could tell. The zip up kind of told us all we needed to know. That and when Strong said he saw Brandt's face on his wife's body all the time. Didn't really need more than that to connect the dots.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Didn't really need more than that to connect the dots.
And yet, it was enough to get the graphic sexual warning at the top of the show. Oy.

Hey, I like moments. Moments are good.
And this week, by the way, was refreshingly twisty. Although in retrospect I can see what Strega's saying (we don't see a lot of extraneous characters on the show so far), I was really surprised by it.

Matt, that last moment came out of a conversation I had with the director, Nick Gomez. I had always assumed it was Web's invisible hand... but he said to me "so Rebecca was the one who paged him, right?" And I was like, "be right back."
Cool. Actually, that part I figured out back in the surveillance scene, but Strong offing himself rather than his captive was a Darla-in-the-box moment for me—the realization came with just enough lead time to make being right a really fun experience.
Paul's never going to believe that Rebecca paged him, is he? Despite his work experience, he has no clue how deep the darkness runs in her.

If you feel like it. I mean, I get that Simon was probably watching, but... I don't know. I'm a little worried that you'll tell me and then I'll feel stupid. But you should feel free if you'd like.

Strega's not wrong, which is why I had two needless characters. I could argue that the doorman was a more pointless, more suspicious character. I could also argue that going to the detective who had previous experience with the prime suspect and could give us more exposition isn't all that out of line. I also tried to take the stink off it by having that character question whether Cole would actually murder. I notice not everyone went right to that place. The first note I got from the network was "we were going to say that it's too obvious the doorman is the killer... but then we kept reading."
