It exactly the kind of opportunity that the journal framing-device allows for, without resorting to flashbacks or other tacky narration novelties. I've noticed that often KC chooses to skip over whenever
characters recount events that we already witnessed, such as in this latest chapter when
Datu explains the
Pippin situation to
Burt and
Saul. This would imply to me that there is no significant difference of perspective and if that is what we expect, the obvious
inclusion of a character's recollection of events previously described to the listener would draw attention to it.
I particularly would have liked to have heard
Kelly's perspective on the interrogation of Pippin but if she was the shooter and/or the rat, we might still get to hear it as a confession (I doubt she would write down anything incriminating in her journal). The subjective nature an interrogation sets it up as a really good opportunity for holes in a story to be discreetly hidden for the listener to find later. In fact, the fabrication of Louis as the shooter will likely begin to crumble under examination like this by skeptical members of
the tower, even those with the best intentions like Burt: "smells fishy if you ask me".
To KC's credit, he did apply this multiple perspective to the explosion of
the arena: we heard it from Lizzie/Tar/
Bricks, the Tower and Saul mentioned to Burt that they should check out the explosion while they waited at LAX. An event like that gives the unique opportunity of setting a point of reference in time and an indication of scale when we know it was seen far and wide in concurrent storylines that are not always in chronological order.
