Here, we disagree a bit. While I absolutely agree that what Jack faced was going to be a horror beyond that scene, the scene itself was quite successful, at least for me. As some others have pointed out here, it was quite distressing. And I thought it necessary to set the context for just how vulnerable they all were.
