I might have just been picking up on it more, but the directing seemed even more Wes Anderson than usual in most of this episode. The episode managed to maintain the underlying tension they've been building this season; that feeling that all these story lines started off unrelated and are now linked by the death of one man, drawing them inadvertently towards a tragic clash. After all, we know from mention of Lou's back-story last season that this is going to end in a massive bloodbath that will redefine Lou. As great as this tension is, I hope they have some sort of mini-bloodbath halfway through like they did in the first season. Perhaps a blood-shower (like the first season).
Last season had some supernatural undertones surrounding Lorne Malvo and the fish rain. I'm almost starting to wonder if this season will have sci-fi undertones, with the strange light in the forest that night and the one conversation about alien abductions this episode.
This episode taught me one of the character names using a fun and memorable gag (Mike Milligan is his name). Now I can finally stop referring to him as "the creepy dude with the afro". I'm sure they told it to us before, but I didn't remember because it was not taught memorably. I still don't know the name of Todd from Breaking Bad's character. I could look it up, but the point is that the show should teach me that. I don't usually have trouble remembering character names; I know everyone in Game Of Thrones.
They keep teasing the Bruce Campbell Ronald Reagan character, but we still haven't seen him. I really hope he isn't a one off joke. Also, where's Nick Offerman? Are we going to see him again?
The episode ends with a very dark little scene. Most violent thing this season since the Waffle Hut shooting.
