You can paralyze people so that they can still breathe. It's a different nervous system from the one she'd use to move around. I don't know if you can do it with a drug, but I wouldn't be surprised. But you can definitely do it.

Yes, general anesthesia consists of two parts: the drug which causes the temporary paralysis, and the drug that knocks you out so you don't feel the pain. There are rare occasions in which the former succeeds but the latter fails so the patient feels the entire procedure but cannot call out for help to let them know things have gone wrong. One of my psych profs in college had a client in therapy from the trauma of that.

I watch for the snark; James Spader has mastered supercilious.

I do watch Breaking Bad...

Heh. I did actually know about plastic containers for HF from high school chemistry! It's used for etching glass, among other things.

How hard do we think it would be to put a good-sized corpse into a latex suit?

That seems like it would result in a comedy of errors similar to Ross and his leather pants.

Like Sherlock said, without talcum powder, damn near impossible. Because it's not like the dude can cooperate and therefore help. Like when you try to get a shoe onto a toddler's foot -- that kid ain't helping, mostly because it doesn't really understand that it can or should help. So you're shoving a foot into a shoe and hoping it all works.

Only this is a much larger, much nakeder scale. Ick. That co-worker must have REALLY wanted the extra bonus money to be willing to shove his dead, hairy, jiggly boss into the suit. And again I say ICK.

Not to mention the foolish futility of it. The man should see jail time - and will likely be paying through the nose for a lawyer at the very least - for all the laws he broke in doing so, when in fact the dead guy took care of his morals clause all by himself, it being the why and wherefore of him getting deaded to begin with.

It was like they had 2 or 3 pitches for episodes that were incomplete, and they sort of just mixed them together to get one full episode.

With every successive reveal, it was like an onion of Utter Badness. Peel away one layer of badness, and wait! There's more badness! Dude dies! No, dude was killed! Co-worker made it look sketchy just to get a bigger bonus! Nanny was accused of killing dad long ago! Nanny is framed! Nanny really DID kill her dad! Wife busy plotting to kill husband! Husband is an abusive fucknut! Son killed father!

About the time the tablet was discovered (and seriously, horrible abusive fucknuts, don't save the video if you don't want to get caught), I just groaned and said, "Everyone is horrible. Everyone. They all suck. All of them. Kill them all. Now."

I admit I'm a sucker for any hint of Sherlock And His Demons, so I loved the closing shot of him beating the hell out of the punching bag.

t edit I have Strong Feelings about Captain Gregson's dye job. And they are as follows: BAD IDEA. BAD BAD BAD NO NO NO.

I do rather like that they successfully brought forward for a modern interpretation of Holmes' propensity to occasionally let a murderer go, if he thought it was justified. Of course, this Holmes does have a functioning moral/ethical compass in a way that Cumberbatch's Sherlock, as a "functional sociopath" may not.
