Feminism isn't particularly big in Japan even now, for that matter. The problem with George, however, doesn't stop here, as he manages to be ultra-posessive -- practically hypnotic, he's only missing rotating swirlies in his glasses! -- in his private scenes with Shannon in Ep1, but when Battler is about to grope her in his presence, Shannon doesn't resist and George doesn't stop him, even though he has both private and public reasons to do so.
This inaction is odd whether George is really possessive or not. It's odd even when he's not very serious about Shannon. It being an isolated incident is no help either.

The first bottle letter was found within days of the explosion and I can't properly parse the text relating to it regarding time. The first time I reread it, it looked like the police found evidence that the bottle lay undisturbed since
before the explosion. Then it turned into 'days after'. In either case that someone would have to write very fast or know about things that didn't happen yet.
