Discussion: "The Observer" by M.F. Luder & Madamecurie

"I do not understand why Broyles did not immediately tell Dunham about the existence of the Observer. She figured it out by herself. It evidently took three days and Broyles complemented her by saying it took them a lot longer. If you were Dunham, wouldn't that have pissed you off? It seems like they should have been working very hard to find the Observer. They should have found the waitress at the diner and learned about his odd order and strange note book. Are they purposely handicapping Dunham? ...and for what reason?"

"Ok, that's plausible. I wish they would have said that to cover what viewers like me tend to see as shoddy script writting. Didn't they say the last time a cylinder showed up, it dove back into the earth after four days."

"Ok, that's plausible. I wish they would have said that to cover what viewers like me tend to see as shoddy script writting. Didn't they say the last time a cylinder showed up, it dove back into the earth after four days. It bugs me that there wasn't more urgency displayed by Broyles. You see other cop shows and they have team meetings at the beginning of the case to inform all members of everything that is known. If I were Dunham, I would feel like lab rat in a maze. Was this just a training exercise for Dunham? The explaination that I have considered is that the Observer is part of the Broyles/nina team somehow. They evidently knew before this incident that he shows up at these events. Why weren't they "waiting" for him. Shouldn't we be ready for him at the next event?"
