Imo they did try to kill the sheriff by feeding him a shitload of pills and booze, he'd just built up such a tolerance already.

Because then they'd have to kill a 3rd kid to cover up the disappearance of the 2nd kid, and then a 4th to cover up for the 3rd, and then they'd just run out of kids after a while and everyone would start to get suspicious after every kid in America is missing

We are the Invisible Spatula. We are the Grilluminati. We eat before and after dinner. We eat forever. And eventually... eventually we will lead them into the dining room.
They would have killed the sheriff without hesitation and the CGI was poo poo. But it was okay otherwise.

Maybe they thought the sheriff could help them find the girl.

Stuff in town was already drawing attention they didn't want. More bodies would have been more attention, the opposite of their goal.

Oh hey I just did my rewatch and yeah they definitely tried to kill the chief or make him think he'd just been dreaming it from a drunken stoned out stupor because there's a poo poo load of open pills and booze around him when he wakes up. They just didn't anticipate what a sad sack of pill popping, wake up brushing teeth with beer loser he was because he didn't even loving stop and think about if he'd imagined it, just went straight psycho mode looking for a bug.

I'm still amazed that I watched the whole drat thing without realizing that the evil scientist guy was Joker from Full Metal Jacket. Like, what the hell?

Also, happy birthday Natalia Dyer (Nancy/that maybe anorexic chick).

She's completely anorexic, but it probably helped her get the part of a 15 (?) Year old

Some girls (and guys) are just bony. Unfortunately it usually translates to being completely haggard by about 35, but it certainly doesn't translate to an eating disorder.

Besides, if she was actually anorexic no way could she have pulled off her action scenes of looking around bewildered and crying

Excuse me sir I'm triggered by your emphasis of her thinness, how about just saying she is a beautiful woman, that way you don't make others feel bad because they're not thin

A kid disappearing in small town America was already drawing attention to things, especially when it's right next to your evil lab that conspiracy theorists are kinda wary of already. If the sheriff turned up dead at the same time it would have drawn too much attention. Plus he's a known booze and drug hound already. I guess you kinda have a point about them not trucking in some rando orphan though.

I realize this thread is about 8 months tardy. But there are a few stupid things about how the Feds act in the show.

The feds plant a fake cotton stuffed body in the water and say that is the missing kid. In reality they would have just killed a real kid that looked like the boy and put his body in the water.

Also the cop breaks into the Department of Energy and sees everything like the portal and evidence that they were holding kids there. Yet all they do is just knock him out and put him back in his house with a bug. He'd be dead too irl. They already suicided the loving burger diner guy. Of course they would kill the cop and some random kid to cover their story.
