GOOD LORD WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK. Okay, I'm glad I stopped here rather than expecting it to get better. WHAT WHAT WHAT.

(I was also hoping/half-expecting Barclay would turn out to develop an adversarially friendly relationship with the heroine. I guess not! I agree that Sussmann being a traitor actually makes sense as a plot twist, and that could have gone to a lot of interesting places, but EVIL RAPIST OF PUREST EVIL was just ... what what what.)
