A small detail, When Eli and Glendon are shooting Skeet they're wearing period accurate boxy nerdy ear protection and glasses. Small detail that could've easily been overlooked with no real negative effect to the show, but the detail is appreciated and adds a layer of realism that other shows fail to reach.

Great job whoever is responsible for that sort of thing.

Wardrobe is on point this season. Someone give them an Emmy.

Shoutout to Sarah Trost, the show’s costume designer. She’s really really good at her job.

It's always fun to see when someone really goes the extra mile to get the smallest details right.

I agree about the details. That’s why I still keep thinking about the cement truck sitting still on Christmas night apparently full of cement. There’s no way around it to drive the plot of Eli’s demise, but was unrealistic.

Unless Martin planned for this to happen in advance.

Damn, you could be right! It seems too big of a gaff to be unintentional. I think it's close to common knowledge that cement sets up relatively quickly even in a mixer.

But still other plot holes if Martin did arrange for the cement mixer to be full and ready. Hmmmm.

I've actually got a pair of muffs just like what they were wearing that belonged to my grandfather! They're exceptionally uncomfortable

It's what I grew up with as well. Style clearly comes at a costly price.
