Hmm. I hadn’t thought about the Russell Keyes thing - it definitely happened in '45 on a bombing run before he came home - so it would have been over Europe somewhere, I think. He didn’t cause the Roswell crash, that was a separate incident that happened two years latervcb. However, that said, you’re right - it’s never really explained how, if he’s killed all the aliens during the '45 incident, they get out of the spaceship and back on the ground. Perhaps he only killed the aliens that were right there -and there were others in other parts of the ship? Then it would have been the others in the ship that landed and dumped the bomber crew out in a field? I suppose would find that easier to believe that that another saucer crashed in Europe…
Since he’s dead now we might never find out the answer there.
I’m still enjoying the series, but I do admit that I can’t think too hard about it or begins to make no sense!
As far as the ages of the kids - Yeah, Jessie is 12 in '58 and about 15 or 16 in last night’s episode which is set in '62. He does look a bit older in part two (when he’s 12), but I guess that’s just due to the fact that they’ve got one actor, but still need to show age progression. I suppose it’s easier to have someone who’s 15 play someone who’s 12 and then 15, then it is to have someone who’s 12 play someone who’s 12 and then 15. It’s just not going to be perfect. As for Sally’s kids - I thought she was the older one too, in part one, but maybe not. Although, come to think of it, in part one, there’s a classroom scene that shows they’re both in the same class -so perhaps they’re the same age. Sally does say that the daughter is the first one to go to college - so it could be that they are the same age but he went right to work after High School.
