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.

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

"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.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
that's kind of their thing though. they almost always start out showing you the end of the episode first.

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.

I just remembered: Fresh Air is re-airing the interview they did with Walton Goggins.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Okay, I've finally had the chance to watch Southland. Damn, damn. I really liked Nate. Damn. I didn't even catch what happened - was he shot?

Oh, god. God.
I had no idea Hatosy was such a good actor. When I first started watching reruns, the scene that completely hooked me was Hatosy breaking down over the kid he'd been trying to help who ended up committed murder.
