So I had a thought while I was watching this. I was thinking about the "call me Finn" line at the end. When I was watching, I noticed that Robin is the only one who uses Finn instead of Finney. I almost wonder if that line is a nod to Robin and Finney becoming the fighter Robin wanted him to be.

I will say, from my perspective, I thought the dad isn't actually a super violent guy. I think it's a man who's lost his wife to these "dreams and voices" and fell into drinking. He doesn't take delight in beating his daughter he's a grieving father who has no idea how to stop his daughter from being lost in the same way he lost his wife. THIS DOES NOT EXCUSE THE ABUSE. Not at all. But it's also the 70s and people beat their kids as discipline, and even though it's hard to watch, the scene is discipline. He's not beating her for the sake of beating her. Again, no excuse AT ALL! but I think you guys missed some of the nuance of his character. I was gonna mention some stuff about how Finn definitely has some supernatural abilities like his sister and mom and he's the only one who's heard the phone but other people mentioned that already.
