If what he said was true, then the strength wouldn't be illusory.
Yup. That's what I'm saying.
Wait, what were we talking about again?
Saffron: But we've been wed. Aren't we to become one flesh? Mal: Well, no, uh... We're still two fleshes here, and I think that your flesh ought to sleep somewhere else.

I am also confused that Teppy confused Bale with Owen.
I thought she was confusing Firth with Owen.
My god! It's madness around here! Cats lying down with dogs...

They said because he didn't "play nice." I interpreted that as meaning that he doesn't always respect limits - which the scene with Rebecca seemed to bear out.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I get where Steph is coming from, I think.
I like that the issue of BDSM became irrelevant because the unsub wasn't who they thought it was. However, all the indications--Rebecca's line about "what made them that way" and Paul's freaked out reactions to his ex-crush's sexual tastes--are that only fucked up people go in for BDSM. Which just isn't true. Lots of mentally healthy, unscarred people go for it and to portray it as some kind of twisted kink is sort of bothersome to me. But it didn't ruin the episode for me or anything.
The only other really closely portrayed BDSM I can recall is the CSI with Lady Heather--which I thought addressed it better than this. But I try to keep from comparing The Inside to CSI because I think they're very different shows.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Or "what doesn't kill you...doesn't kill you."
Wow, that's some kind of profound. Actually, I may have to start using it that way.

A perfect dom doesn't, no. I'm not saying I'd let him tie up my nearest and dearest, but I just don't get why he's supposed to have been playing (rather than, say, overreaching).
a dom that tries to force his/her sub to do something against their will is far from perfect. this is a basic tenet. i'm not talking out of my ass here, I know several people in the scene and have had extensive discussions about just this sort of thing. That's one thing that Brandt was right about, after they stopped speculating about the parties' motivations among themselves, they needed to ask someone who knew.

Art Crawl!!!
Oh, here is something that I'm confused about: did the cop do the initial killing that started the investigation that led to Brandt being a suspect in the first place? So that he could follow up on Brandt's social life and rape and murder all of his dates? Or are we to assume that the cop was stalking Brandt for his own reasons prior to the beginning of the first investigation?
Or is there still a killer out there?
