Fargo the TV series

Oh, I thought Molly was a-goner for sure when she dropped.

 

Oh for sure I did too. A little hot dish and a few Tom & Jerrys and she'll be chasing bad guys lickity-split.

 

Would prefer not to get these spoilers since I didn't read the article in question.

 

You're right, HC. sorry.

 

Well, THAT was certainly a twist.

 

I love that I really can't guess where the story is going to go.

 

I caught up tonight. I thought the jump forward slowed things down a bit more than I would have liked this late in the season, but otherwise I'm still really liking it. Like HC, I'm kept guessing from episode to episode. Don't ever really have a grasp on where it's going next.

 

Fargo was absolutely amazing last night. There was almost an hour between killings, but you were on the edge every minute in between. Thornton deserves a nomination.

 

I thought last night's episode was "aces."

 

I realize nothing Lorne, or whatever his name is, does should shock me at this point, but I was stunned by the elevator scene. I guess I figured even he wouldn't sacrifice all the time and work and money when he was so close to getting the guy in witness protection.

 

Just the way he said "aces" cracked me up.

I thought it was the best episode of the series. Lester's complete change, even before the time jump, doesn't make sense to me, but it helped make a fun show.

I was more surprised by Lester's set up at the end than the elevator scene.

Plus they included Bemidji's Paul Bunyon and Babe statues.

 

The coffee shop scene between Billy Bob and Keith Carradine was an outstanding piece of work by two veteran character actors. And Molly taking her sweet time to get there --- as Sepinwall wrote, like Meadow Soprano trying to parallel park --- only added to the tension.
