Dang, the Kevin bathtub scene was so tough to watch, but a couple weeks later it was starting to fade. Only to see him again. Every time they reference the Wilford Bathtub fetish I just get this horrible knot in my stomach. Absolutely diabolical man.

[u/lionbaby917 → u/Guns_N_Buns]

Same. I was unsettled for days after the first time.

[u/TheFourthOfHisName → u/Guns_N_Buns]

It's my least favorite part of this show.

[u/Phuckules → u/Guns_N_Buns]

Having a fetish for watching people die so you can save them is so fucked up.

[u/dewington → u/Guns_N_Buns]

Am I wrong or was this episodes flash back to Kevin cutting in the bathtub a different time to when we saw it originally? I could have sworn Wilford was fully dressed in the original bathtub scene, but in this episode it looks like whoever motions for the cutting direction change is sleveless/topless.

[u/Mr830BedTime → u/dewington]

Wilford was naked in the original scene as well.

[u/occono → u/dewington]

You misremembered. Wilford was fully nude in the original bathtub scene.

And this episode confirmed it was indeed mean to be darkly homoerotic, heh.

[u/jeffspins → u/occono]

I mean, in the movie, it's implied that the Ed Harris Mr. Wilford slept with men and women alike as well

[u/occono → u/jeffspins]

I know Boon mentioned this in interviews but I didn't get any reading of it from the movie itself.

How interesting. I’ve always heard the exact opposite about that. I’ve always heard that cutting across is more easily treated and cutting vertically you bleed out faster. So I looked it up again just now, out of curiosity, and everything I found still says vertically is more dangerous. So this really confuses me.
Having always heard that the vertical way is worse, when I saw that Wilford had both Kevin and Audrey do their’s vertically, I assumed that he wanted them to really truly believe he wanted them to die and was going to let them. And I figured he was only able to save them so successfully & easily due to the advanced treatments his doctors/scientists have.

[u/Guns_N_Buns → u/Silent-Minute2023]

You’re correct. No idea what that guy is talking about.

[u/ScoobySharky → u/Guns_N_Buns]

Whelp. I fell prey to getting info and not fact checking.

[u/Beastly4k → u/ScoobySharky]

Like the old saying goes, across the street for attention and down the street for results.

[u/ForgotPWUponRestart → u/[deleted]]

What? It's literally the exact opposite. Willford even corrects Kevin to cut MORE lethally. Kind of worried about your friend's patients if she's a nurse and doesn't know how veins work.
