Storyline

- Trivia"Moonbase Freedom" is the second of three fictional Ronald Reagan movies in this season. The clip actually shown in the theater scene is from Edgar G. Ulmer's The Man from Planet X (1951), which was indeed released in 1951.
- GoofsHanzee finds a piece of broken headlight in the road, which he then conveniently matches up with Ed and Peggy's car. But the police previously spoke about finding broken glass in the street, and they would've taken said glass as evidence. It's extremely unlikely they would've missed a piece as large as the one Hanzee found, but even if they had, roads get plowed when it snows. It was snowing the night of the murder and the road had clearly been plowed at least once in the days between the crime and Hanzee finding the glass. It's simply not plausible for that piece of headlight to still be lying in the road so many days after the hit and run.
- Quotes
Lou Solverson: You didn't fight, did you, Ed - in the war?
Ed Blumquist: No, sir. 4-F on account I got the one kidney.
Lou Solverson: So... There's a look a boy gets when he's been shot or a - or a land mine takes off his legs, and he's laying there in the mud, trying to get up, 'cause he doesn't feel it yet.
Ed Blumquist: I, uh, don't...
Lou Solverson: His - his brain hasn't caught up with the reality, which is... he's already dead.
Peggy Blumquist: Ed. He's scaring me.
Lou Solverson: But we see it, the rest of us. And we lie. We say, "Lay still. You're gonna be fine." If you'd been to war, you'd know the look. See, you and Peggy, you got the look.

The story lines here are like two reciprocal functions approaching a shared asymptote; they get infinitely closer but don't converge. I honestly don't get it; how is this going to last another 6 episodes? They'll have to do some time jumping like the last season. This means there will probably be a big mid-season episode.
The Gerhardts rivalry with the city reaches a head, and the Blomquists are pursued both by the police and the Gerhardts. Lou had a particularly potent scene with the Blomquists. The sheer number of times that someone could have done something to prevent the bloodbath that is coming is staggering. Much like Dexter in season 4, there were so many ways to avoid the tragic route, but that's the way it goes.
They are still refusing to show us Ronald Reagan. The teasing in this episode was almost unbearable. I just want to see it. We got more Nick Offerma. this episode, which is good.
