Some of our readers wanted to know why Jason just stood frozen while Tucker plunged into the ocean (in “A Dead Man”). We really don’t have an answer for this. The scene came to us like that and we thought it worked well, particularly since it is imbued with a strong sense of the illogical.

Also, initially, Jason was supposed to shoot Tucker with a small firearm hidden on his calf. We changed this for a knife because it requires direct contact. A gun would have allowed Jason to fire on Tucker as he disappeared into the water.
