Why would Larsson (Danson) would get knocked out on the porch, in the middle of the Blumquist house seige, then apparently wake up and take off to meet up with the SIL officer who is escorting Ed away from the jail? Only to return to the Blumquist house to see the carnage that occurred. Is that an obvious theme of this show that I'm missing? Incompetent LEOs?
Or is my timeline being thrown off by the week break between incidents. Now that I think of it, the last 2 episodes were going back and forth in time a lot, that might be confusing me.
Peggy was still in the house wasn't she? Maybe my timeline of events is off.

My wife had the same question. If he would have gone back in after waking up he would have found everyone. [Reply]

It may have been sloppy storytelling but it could be reasonable that he wasn't all there upstairs, had a concussion etc after the incident occurred. I'm sure he was a little scatterbrained, especially because he needed medical care after. [Reply]
My favorite scene so far might've been when Betsy told Karl to stop drinking, that it would kill him, and he broke down and hugged her. So amazing and so sad. Offerman has just killed it. [Reply]

I'm gonna go back and take a peak at the first episode again....but refresh my memory....Rye came out of the diner....shot the waitress...and then watched a UFO fly away. is that pretty much it? that and Danson's study with the alien symbols hanging all over the place....

There have been subtle shots of green light, pictures/drawings of UFOs, and camerawork suggestive of an omnipresent observer throughout the season.
Two of the biggest that haven't really been commented on are, the time lapse when Hanzee was inspecting the headlight fragment he found in the road at the Waffle Hut [a still is below, but in the scene, the shadows of the trees shift as if hours passed, reinforced by the time disparity between Hanzee's pocket watchand the clock in the Hut], and the pan out from the butcher shop when Ed was grinding up Peggy's mess. Also, the crank at the gas station when Lou refilled the prowler.
I enjoy this season, but I think last season's was better story telling.
This season jumps around in style, suddenly it's non linear, suddenly there is a narrator, suddenly there is a UFO, suddenly the butcher and wife are 20 IQ points smarter. But there are some great characters that would be fun to see developed. [Reply]
