This image is pretty grainy. I am wondering if there might be a better quality image out there. I personally think maybe a different image could be added instead, but I have not seen the show yet.

Wow, that's horrible quality. Having never seen the show, I have no idea how it's supposed to be NF, either.

If need be, I can get a better-quality version of that image from Netflix.

I'll also try to think of possible alternatives, but the problem is that most of the moments I can think of are either more suited to Squick than Nightmare Fuel, or don't really come across from the image. For instance, I did think of a moment from the first season where the main character is suffering from Sanity Slippage while in solitary confinement, but a picture of that would just appear to depict the main character looking unhappy because she has to sit in a dirty room.

EDIT: Okay, here's an image of a different moment from the same scene as the existing image, this time making it clear that the character's holding a weapon, and one of the prison guards is happily turning a blind eye to the attempted murder that's about to happen. And here's an image from the solitary confinement scene.

I think the solitary confinement example could work, but it will need a decent caption.

That's what I was thinking.

Eh, I'll vote for 3.2 in lieu of anything better.

For a possible caption for the solitary confinement image, here's a line of dialogue from the scene:

"They keep the lights on. You lose all sense of time. It's not living. I mean, yeah, you're breathing, but you ain't a person no more. Then, you start to see shit that ain't there. You hear voices. They keep you here until they break you."

Might be a bit on the long side, so maybe it could be trimmed down thusly:

"They keep the lights on. You lose all sense of time. Then, you start to see shit that ain't there. You hear voices. They keep you here until they break you."

[up] The second is good...a [...] could be inserted to cover the missing bit of dialogue.

I've just gotten done watching the most recent season, and aside from one moment that IS some pretty hardcore nightmare fuel but would probably be classed as NSFW, I've not seen any alternatives, so I say go ahead and use the solitary confinement image with the shortened caption.

That pic+caption combo is alright.

Bump; any other thoughts on 11?

I can go with the combo in 11.

This is at the clocking point and the solitary scene is the only thing that's got any consensus, so it's up and tagged. Locking up.
