Is there a sex scene equivalent to BLAM? Especially these days as more and more shows are ramping up the sexual content to \\\"keep up with the Joneses / HBOs\\\" I\\\'m sure I can call to mind a few examples of shows (film and TV) that treat their sexual content in a BLAM way. YMMV but shows that come to mind include Good Wife, Game of Thrones (beyond the whole \\\"sex-position\\\" rationale), Sense8, and even going back a few years the 1999 series Peter Benchley\\\'s Amazon for some reason decided to toss in a pointless nude scene, and that show aired on prime time in Canada. Doesn\\\'t have to be sex scenes, could also be sexually provocative content. The infamous Carol Marcus underwear scene in Star Trek Into Darkness, for example, which might even be listed already as a straight BLAM though I haven\\\'t checked.

The real message coming from this is \\\"even if you\\\'re bad actions get what you want, you still have to face the consequences\\\".

And hell, your argument on how his expression is ambiguous makes \\\'\\\'no\\\'\\\' sense. He is clearly sad when arrested. Whether it\\\'s at being separated from his daughter or guilt from all the destruction he caused, he doesn\\\'t look that well off.

Thinking about it, how he feels really has nothing to do with it. He\\\'s clearly facing consequences, and the very fact that he has received karma nullifies your point. Again, it\\\'s PyrrhicVillainy. Your example is just stretching it.
