[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was frustrated with this episode and thought it moved too slowly.  I was mad she fell asleep in the bed and left the good looking guy sitting outside in his truck so my favorite part was possibly when he burst in saying he was freezing out there in his truck.

One thing that makes the vibe of this show so weird is we have no context clues.  The tech is a weird mix of stuff from different decades.  We haven’t seen a grocery store or a movie chain.  Even the cars are sort of nondescript, like they could be 30 years old or could be contemporary.  It’s very unmoored.

Also do we know where we are?  I assumed upstate New York near Niagara but I’m not sure why.  It seems like it’s been winter forever which I didn’t really notice until the flashbacks with Gemma when it was spring.  Will it ever be spring in this show?  Again, it’s unmooring to have no seasons passing.

The repeated references to water are interesting.  But I took it as geogrpahical.  People who grew up on the Hudson or the Great Lakes or Maine will have water as a constant.  Now we know that Lumen is from that creepy town than Harmony is from, on some sort of bay.

I wanted more about the Lyman back story but I guess we’ll have to wait.

PS is Sissy her paternal aunt or her mom’s lesbian partner?  The plaque on the wall indicates Sissy is also a Corbell.  [/quote]

Yes, most of the external locations are upstate New York.

Also, my brain always reads "Kier, PE" as "Erie PA" .

"PE" being a state/province and the mix of British and American language in the show indicates that this is an alternate history world, with US/Canada being different from our own. [/quote]
