“No problems there!” says NBC, but originally, Gideon was going to lure tabloid blogger Freddie Lounds (Lara Jean Chorostecki) to a psychiatrist’s office, wherein she would spring an elaborate death mechanism by activating a ceiling fan that was attached to a wound in the victim’s abdomen.
Basically, the still alive doctor would get his intestines ripped out by a ceiling fan.
In the episode “Rôti” during Season 1, FBI profiler Will Graham (Hugh Dancy) is hunting down the escaped killer Dr. Abel Gideon (Eddie Izzard).
Gideon’s preferred method of murder was giving his victims what’s known as a Colombian necktie, where he slits his victim’s throats and pulls their tongues out through the gash.
