I almost agree with everything Chair wrote. Except that it was a good episode. Really I didn't like it at all. Other illogical thing is where is the reverend that sponsored Matt?? He is missing out of nowhere?? No phone?? Poor writing.
@pbaesse I thought the reverend was leaving the church temporarily to have surgery done, thus leaving Matt in charge of sermons (in episode 1). Not sure if he's still absent, but I agree that the wristbands and no ID are a bit illogical. Surely the government would have stepped in and come up with a better way of handling the town? (Then again, everyone seems to accept the firemen dispensing punishment.)
I did love the episode though. Christopher Eccleston is so good!
@chairene that you can get scanned through at a checkpoint with someone else's band works in fiction for me, but then reporting to a post without one should be confirmable in a registry/spreadsheet. like, the higher up you go, the more collected data there is to check against; that's how bureaucracy works

A good episode, as pretty much always, but let's be real here, there's no way Miracle has no town records and your "registration" there stands just on a piece of cheap plastic around your wrist. The bracelets thing is all around ridiculous. They're pretty much the same, have no name on them or an id number, and apparently some of them are easily removable while others' removal requires some drastic hand crashing shit, which becomes even more inane when you realize they need to be adjustable, so Matt' or Mary' bracelet could fit a child' wrist. And what that guy and his son wanted to do once they get into town? Become hobos? How were they even let in without any proof of having a property inside the town? I know a lot of weird shit happens on this show (which I like), but that's not weird, that's illogical in the setting of the world we've been introduced, pretty much it's the first bit of poor writing I've encountered in all of the aired episodes, I'll swallow it and move on, but hopefully this won't become a habit.
