I enjoyed this. My only complaint is the female seemed to fall in love with the outsider too quickly. He literally never said a nice thing to her in the entire episode, so it made no sense. -1 star for that. But overall, great episode. If that happened to me, I would LOVE to live in a perfect small town setting without poverty, suffering, etc. Who wouldn't? Ed Nelson's character kept mentioning "freedom" but poverty and suffering is not freedom. We are all slaves to money. So I suppose it depends on a person's definition of paradise. Anyway, I found his character annoying. He was very preachy and judgemental, immediately condemning everyone in town, yet the first thing he did was create a weapon and murder, literally proving them correct. At least the town gave him a chance to prove otherwise. He blew it.
