opening kill of #7
So for 5 and 6, they did their own thing, changed the formula so it wouldn't get stale, I appreciate that. First by letting Tara live, then by unmasking and dispatching two killers.
For 7, I hope they go back to basics in just having the opening scene be someone getting called and killed. But surprise us by having it be a character we already know. Even though he wasn't a lead or a favorite, there was still a sense of "Oh no! Aww..." when we first see Cotton in 3, at least for me anyway. And at this point, plenty of surviving characters to choose from.
