Much as I love CK, the goat-scene is not one I like. It's uncomfortable to watch, like the scene in WSS:FA when John is seducing the nurse. Those two disturb me far more than LAMST's vomit, than the blood vow in Prayer, than Crichton's bomb. It's a reduction of John to nothing but meat, selling himself/FS (to the audience, or the Sci-Fi channel), no hope or optimism left, just desperation and desolation. I could be reading this askew, of course, but those two scenes I find depressing and too bleak. We've seen things stolen from John - his mind, his body, his identity - seen him used against his will, but this is the first time I felt like John was using himself.
