When the teaser ended, I said (to my dog apparently since she was the only other one in the room), “The killer’s going to be an Iraq War vet, you just watch.”

Told the Missus, “That’s the guy – he did it,” within seconds of his first appearance on the screen. I have a gift, no kidding, and can do it in real life also, but I digress.
