I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
thing about southland, I think you were spoiled for it in the first scene of the show. I was pissed when they showed (essentially) the final scene of the ep FIRST. I knew that someone died based on that scream (awesome voice acting by the way), and I knew who based on the person sitting in blood soaked clothes in the waiting area.

see...i assumed he'd done something to his wife's boytoy and/or something had happened to her. Nate never entered my mind.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
oh, that's interesting. I never did imagine it was his wife or his wife's new man. He's half crazy, no doubt, but he didn't seem like that kind of menacing.
The scream sounded like a woman's scream, and his crying seemed like someone he really cared about. He wouldn't cry (like that) for the wife's BF I don't think.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Can you say you were spoiled by the show itself? I mean--when they tell you, they tell you. It's the show. They often (if not always) do in media res.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
yeah, it is probably not the right language to use, but I would have preferred that they not have had the end scene at the beginning of the program.
It would have had more impact on me if I hadn't been on the edge of my seat the whole episode wondering when the man was going to get it.

that's kind of their thing though. they almost always start out showing you the end of the episode first.

oh and i assumed that whatever he'd done had caused her to lose the baby and that's why she screamed/he started crying.

That's telling language right there...their intent may merely have been that.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
you think they want me to wonder when he is going to die? dang. okay, maybe. this is why I don't like watching bio pic movies of famous people who were assassinated. I don't like waiting for someone to be killed. I'd prefer it just happen and be shocked by the act.
that's kind of their thing though. they almost always start out showing you the end of the episode first.
yes, but usually it isn't the end the end. it's like about 10 minutes from the end of the ep so there is some uncertainty of what will really occur.
