TerrorKompound. HoodedBride is still in that hood, which is still scaring the bejesus out of me. Her hands are cuffed behind her, and each breath she takes is a loud hysterical gasp as some TerrorMinions lead her down a dimly lit hallway within the TerrorShack. In case you didn't get it, they do a POV shot from Bride's perspective under the hood and show the shadowy outlines of the fluorescent light fixtures whizzing past her head. Then her hood is removed. She is face-to-face with Gaines, who is at the KieferKonsole. Now I just gotta say here that I'm a bit old-school when it comes to villains. I like it when they're all debonair and shit to their hostages. I mean, wouldn't it be great if Gaines, upon meeting Bride, turned on the charm by offering her a seat and a glass of thirty-year-old Montrachet and then apologized sincerely for the déclassé circumstances under which she was brought to TerrorManor? "My my my," he'd say, kissing her hand and ringing the bell to summon Olga, the housekeeper. "I hope I don't sound out of line here but Kiefer is one lucky man to have such a lovely wife! I hope you like Bach because after dinner, over cigars and brandy, I'm giving everyone a little recital tonight of some of my favorite fugues. Olga? Please prepare a room for the lady, draw her a bath, and get her a change of clothes. She's had a very long day!" But no. Lord Phlegm just looks at her, grunts, and turns his attention back to the KieferKonsole. He sucks! And why do the TerrorMinions have to strong-arm Bride down the hall like they're wrestling an alligator? She's tied up and hooded, for crying out loud! Why waste the energy?
