I had pretty much the same reaction that you did with the opening shot of the cats. I even said, “Can we kindly stop showing the dead cats? I’m still livid about it from last episode to the point that I’m having trouble keeping my dinner down. I’m asking nicely, please.” I knew that it was going to hurt seeing your reaction to the scene with Joe’s dog. You state that maybe you were being dramatic, and I say not in the slightest. It is interesting to see the interactions between Sheriff Hassan and the rest of the community. As you point out, it showcases how the community, and Bev especially, are very traditional in their beliefs. Incidentally, the fact that they are very staunchly traditional makes it baffling, to me anyway, that they hold an annual potluck on Ash Wednesday. If it was held the day before or if it was a fish fry, that’d make sense. I don’t know, if I’m the only one who thought that I apologize. I really loved your diving into Riley and his speech to Father Paul. The idea that the Lord works in mysterious ways is something that is very hard to accept at times. I agree with your observation that when Riley realizes that he killed the girl, and he’s in the middle of reciting the Lord’s Prayer, the paramedic cutting him off with the statement, “While you're at it, ask him why he always takes kids, while the drunk f*cks walk away with scratches.” really does leave quite an impression on him. As someone who’s also had dealings with guilt, you’re right on the money about it being one of the toughest things to overcome, and yeah, when it’s strong guilt especially, it’s very easy to believe the idea that you don’t deserve to overcome that guilt. As to the mystery of what exactly is going on in the show, when I watched it, I had a similar mentality that you did in that I was intrigued, but I was not making too serious of an effort to ascertain exactly what was going on. I’m really loving that you’re loving this show.

I love this show even though I myself am not deeply religious, I agree with your opinion on that the medic's statement had a profound impact on Riley. after he realized what he did and she didn't make it, he starts praying to god. and almost cutting him off, he (kind of from left field) says "While you're at it, ask him why the young innocent die, while the drunk fucks walk away with scratches?" when I first seen that, I thought wow someone actually had to balls to say that in that moment. but at the same time, I thought wow that's extremely unprofessional! Who would say that? Was God speaking through the medic and talking to Riley, leading him on the right path again? food for thought.
