Hello again!

A question about "Deadly Force": my sister watched this show the first time it aired(I was at class, ugh:), and she is certain that in the scene where Broadway put Elisa on the gurney outside the hospital, she saw a quick shot of Broadway's hands, from his POV, covered with blood(right after he raises his hands and gasps). She didn't record the ep, and the next time it aired, the scene seemed to have been cut. Was there such a scene, that got cut out due to being too graphic?

In any event, I thought it was a great episode as far as stressing gun safety. I have a pro-gun friend who HATES the ep, though. He insists that it's "anti-gun". Was that the message you intended? I didn't think it was anti-gun, personally...

Greg responds...

I don't think anything was cut, but we may have down the blood in retakes. I know we did in the scene that ends act one, with Elisa lying on the floor.

I think it was more pro-gun-responsibility than anti-gun. Goliath uses a gun. Elisa has good reason to have one.

On the other hand, I won't pretend that it was PRO-gun. It was designed to give kids a healthy fear and respect for firearms. I'm not sure how ANYONE could object to that. But I'm sure Charleton Heston could find a way.
