I'm curious, though, about two-hour events. I mean, I'm glad about it, but I'm not sure I'd be more likely to watch two hours of a show I didn't think I was interested in than one hour.

dude. is that Vasquez from Aliens in next week's ep?
SCORE! it is. love her.
I spotted that too. Jeannette Goldstein rocks.
Really enjoyed the episode, particularly the obviously Jane-ish touches in dialogue and Rachel/Mel interactions.
It seems completely unlikely to me that a 10 y.o. is strong enough to gut another kid, however. I've got a hard enough time cutting up a chicken.

What is even happening?
She didn't de-bone him.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Did she cut through bone or ligament? I've never guggle-to-zatched anyone, but it seems pretty easy to kill someone by going deep over the soft bits, and slicing skin over the hard ones.
How she got him to sit still escaped me.

She must have gotten awfully bloody, though. I am (as usual) retrospectively curious about the logistics -- how does a 10-year-old in a fairly closely-settled neighborhood manage to stick around to watch the mother find the body, then manage (after the screaming has started, mind) to get away and washed and dressed without being seen or leaving any trace?
It's mostly rhetorical. I know that killers get the crazy luck, what with no one ever sticking their heads out the window at the wrong time.

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
Did she cut through bone or ligament?
She cut through muscle. There's no way she was strong enough to plunge the knife into his abdomen and move the knife. The muscles grip the blade, and it takes more strength than she got. She would have had to stab him in an artery, and once he bled out, then slice him open to see what was inside.

I don't see how she's cutting through the abdominal muscles. That's not like gutting a fish. He was cut from his genitals to his throat, I think they said.
