Viewers should be warned of scenes in episode eleven given the recent tragedy in Connecticut.

Really?

The episode features a spoiler[grown man hunting down a cop] which may trigger memories or fears of spoiler[children being "hunt" by a 20 year old man.] People who are particularly sensitive from the recent tragedy may not want to relive those moments.

I think "hunt" might be a bit of an exaggeration in the latter case. I do know what you guys mean, though - I violently dry-retched while reading Cardcaptor Sakura recently when the Earthy card caused an earthquake. It reminded me too much of another incident where a natural disaster affected Japan (obviously the 2011 tsunami - caused by an earthquake for double damage).
Still, I don't see how that's a mark against the series itself.

A similar thing happened to me while "trying" to watch Tokyo Magnitude 8.0. Granted, I saw the show in January long before the March tsunami but just thinking about it now makes me uncomfortable.

As a reviewer, I'm sure Rebecca must feel somewhat obligated to establish Trigger Warnings in her review and, in light of the still relevant topic (doesn't matter if the news stops reporting on it; there are still many family members, friends, co-workers, and neighbors who will have to live with this memory for a long time) I believe she wanted to make sure people were aware that this happened in the episode. But I can't speak on her behalf; I'm only giving my view on the subject.

I found Fate/Zero difficult to watch because the Gilgamesh's admiration of the blue-eyed, blonde-haired Saber recalled Hilter's admiration of the Aryans.

This show has the most ridiculous premise, its like a poor man's minority report. But the sad thing is the psychic aspect of minority is more plausible or palatable than this coefficient nonsense. I don't know whats more ridiculous that they approved the system or that someone does nothing about it. Clearly it measures things like stress and the like, not the actual probability of committing a crime. I mean I almost stopped watching after a rape victim was considered extermination worthy. Clearly the main character is a criminal waiting to happen, and a kid being judged a latent criminal at 5. Oh and then the villain is magically immune, oops we can't do anything.

Also the fact that Amano did the character style was a bad choice, her style is suited to shonen/battle style manga like reborn, not something dark. Hell main female character is basically haru, which does not instill confidence.

Seriously people are better watching something like Minority report, or even Zettai Karen children over this.

That's precisely it, Keichitsu. I couldn't find a good place to stick it in the review - I tried a few - and that felt like the only place that it fit.
