Excellent bizarre episode

*****SPOILERS****

After last season, I was very skeptical going into this season with the belief the material wouldn't be able to live up to it's predecessor. Season 2 has been just as great, hard to say which one I like better as they are very different.The massacre at Sioux falls has been talked about since Lou brought it up to Malvo in season one. We knew it was coming but had no idea how it would happen or who would be there. This episode is filled with more betrayals, horrible small town mid western police work, and a greatly timed UFO for Lou. The season had references to UFO's with Rye Gerhart seeing lights in the first episode which got him killed and Molly's drawing of a UFO and the little poster at the gas station. When I saw it I reacted like the characters did, like wtf is that? No way that's a UFO it's a weather balloon you can see water coming off of it. Well actually no it looks like a UFO but this is a crime drama why would they actually put that in there. I kept going back and forth until I accepted it was a UFO. However, we are getting the perspective from Martin Freeman reading from the History book so who knows if that frame of reference is actually accurate. It was one of the more bizarre experiences I ever had with television but I thoroughly enjoyed the episode from start to finish and cannot wait for next week.
