Watched the first 3 eps back to back last night, digging it. Really weird in parts, or rather an undercurrent of weirdness/creepiness just below the surface, which I love. Liking the quick jump cuts back to traumatic events as a character is remembering and police chief Garvey's dreams too. Acting overall seems solid if not spectacular so far.
The chain-smoking cult is awesome, can't wait to see where they go with that. Was pretty sure Garvey had snapped and created himself a Tyler Durden in the dog shooting man, but that seems to not be the case after the daughter takes the beer from him and asks who was that. And then Garvey ends up finding his bagel in the toaster after all, seems like he's not crazy (yet) which is even more intriguing.
Don't worry about 'the explanation' not being satisfying enough - with Lindelof at the helm, there's a stone cold ironclad guarantee that we will never find out. I'd probably be even more into this show if I didn't know he was the showrunner. But as someone else mentioned the show isn't really going to be about the disappearance, it serves more as the back drop for story and character development, so I'm happy to give it a go.
re. Grabbing the beer, I reckon they left that pretty open. It's possible that she grabbed the beer from her father and it manifested in his mind as it being grabbed from the guy. And when she called out asking who that was it could have been a response to his yelling rather than to actually seeing the mysterious dog guy. Hopeing the dog guy is real though, he's a legit gangster and the sherriff best respecognise.
