| great ep, but i had trouble digesting how retarded everybody else was acting. And the english acting was a bit underwhelming this time. that BGM at the end, I can almost swear I've heard it in a video, I just dont know why it reminds me of zelda lol |
| "...our faces marked by toil, by deceptions, by success, by love; our weary eyes looking still, looking always, looking anxiously for something out of life, that while it is expected is already gone – has passed unseen, in a sigh, in a flash – together with the youth, with the strength, with the romance of illusions.” - Joseph Conrad ('Youth') |

| There's something wonky about this right-hand man's portrayal. At first, he seems to be psychotic - and enraged by the officer's insulting of Kendall - to the point of murdering them. Then when we finally reach him he seems to have instead have been more insidious, having actually planned to this in order to off Kendall himself and take his place - admitting to being on the company's payroll. Either something's been cut out, or the writer's have left in a rather big inconsistency. As for all the gun-logic, I'm interested in the 'second bluff.' How did Keaton know what kind of ammunition he was using - surely a slug would have passed through him, so what about buckshot? I suppose given the countryside-setting and all likelihood, maybe it's assumed to be something for smaller game. But then, I'm just going of my vague impressions of firearms, so maybe there's a simple explanation. koreye said: Yeah, some of the logic behind the panicky characters took away from the episode.great ep, but i had trouble digesting how retarded everybody else was acting.

| So the crazy guy kills the dumb cops because they insulted Kendall, then wants to kill Kendall? Makes no sense to me. Nor the bent gun actually working. |

I suppose given the countryside-setting and all likelihood, maybe it's assumed to be something for smaller game. But then, I'm just going of my vague impressions of firearms, so maybe there's a simple explanation. There are other problems; the gun Keaton takes from the man in the first scuffle is clearly a shotgun but the cartridge he removed from it is clearly from a rifle (and, I think, even an intermediate caliber semi-auto instead of a hunting rifle); moreover it’s treated as if the gun could only possibly have had a single round in it. Seconds later Keaton badly bend the steel barrel just by hitting it with a bar-stool. Aside from the ammunition issue with the man’s shotgun in the second encoutner, Keaton also says it’s a large caliber (not the right word for a shotgun I think although this might be an issue with the subtitles) for a shotgun when it looks perfectly ordinary. I don’t want to exceed my own minimal knowledge of firearms but I’m not sure Keaton was even right about blocking the barrel of the gun in the first encounter. Bore obstructions are no joke; just accidentally dropping a gun into the ground barrel-first can lead to an obstruction that will indeed cause the gun to explode if fired. The idea that it would cause the gas pumps to explode seems silly but that was supposed to be a lie, after all. All in all this story is full of nonsense. |
