Like Dana, I couldn't really watch it, but then I am a wuss.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

I am not a good judge of onscreen brutality.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ah, yes--Criminal Minds is another show I'd measure pummelling grossness by.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I am not usually a wuss, but there was something about this one. But I would have to watch all of it to tell you what it was.

For me it was that it just. Kept. Going. I was expecting Bob to either give up Raylan, or to get knocked out and/or killed, but he just kept taking it. Plus the music that was playing, which struck as a blatant homage to Reservoir Dogs, and also reminded me of the scene of the sheriff and his family getting killed to the sounds of Johnny Mathis in the X-File's "Home".

It was very Reservoir Dogs ish, especially at the beginning.
Honestly, I was thinking "Yolo looks really vulnerable to a groin kick, I wonder if Bob will take it?" for at least some of it. And then wondering if I was not getting the Drew puns or not hearing them right.

I could probably watch it now, knowing he lives. I have to rewatch the episode anyway, once my husband and I are in the same city again.

I had been spoiled that Bob was going to get a hurtin' so, as soon as I saw it coming, I jumped ahead. Then, went back in little pieces until I could watch the whole thing. I'm glad I did because, apart from the gore, the interchanges between the two a really charming...in a totally disturbing way, of course.
It's just a really well written scene.

I actually found the scene with Ava in the bar harder to watch.
Another favorite moment, "I'd like a young Gerard Depardieu to play me in the movie." I wonder if that was in the script or if Ron Eldard was just being really self-aware.

As soon as Ava ordered the brandy, I knew some variation on what was coming. With Bob, I was just terrified he wouldn't live out the episode
