Veena Sud lit a cigarette and stared out the dingy window at the low-slung clouds of the Pacific Northwest. She was a woman with murder on her mind. It was those damned expectations. They'd almost buried her once, and now she had to kill them. Kill them quick and without mercy. Veena Sud, creator (or should I say adaptor) of AMC's murder mystery The Killing, and her publicist sit down with the NY Times Sunday Magazine to blame the "expectations" of the "super viewer" for the series leaving a bad taste in everybody's mouth...You know, like last night's booze hanging on your tongue when you remember how that dame taunted and teased you all season. Who killed Rosie Larsen? she kept saying. Keep watching. Find out who killed Rosie Larsen. Just one more red herring. And then she took a powder and left you holding the remote with no clue as to who killed Rosie Larsen. And now Veena's back. Like a bad penny. Promising to tell you who killed Rosie Larsen. At the end of season two. That dame's no good, I tell you.
