I'll own up to the fact I had to brush up on The Gift of the Magi (once I saw the description of the watch and chain on Wiki, I remembered) and yeah, that's what it is.

Sufficiently kickass.
There's a lot I want to say about this show, but it's almost entirely positive and a lot of it has been covered already. Superb photography, great writing, wonderful characters, great attention to themes, metaphors, etc. I like just how wonderfully the idea of "Ed is a cow" has been worked into the whole character/animal comparison thing, as well as the mythological and literary references are some of my favorite of the aforementioned themes.

Most every complaint I have seems like nitpicking, to me. I'm sort of iffy about where the UFO thing is going, because I really hope something satisfying comes of it. There's a lot of ways it could go right now. In the first two or three episodes I thought maybe it was being used as an analogy for the viewers observing the strange world of the series, but that seems to be become less and less likely.

I just can't help but keep thinking back to season one when Lou referred to (gonna spoiler this just in case anyone reading hasn't seen the first season, but frankly I'm conflicted about it needing it at all--last season and such) a hotel (that we're now acquainted with) in Sioux Falls having bodies stacked wall-to-wall, or floor-to-ceiling, or something like that..

One more thing: I think it may have been mentioned in an earlier episode, or maybe in the thread, but I don't recall: Does anyone know what kind of car Peggy's was? It definitely stood out, what with that aesthetic and either rear or mid-engine design (I really know only the very basics about cars, sorry).

Loved that the tiny nods to the original film are barely noticeable at all, like the song Jose Feliciano sings when Steve Buscemi takes the prostitute out for a "date" playing on the radio playing at the repair shop when Peggy picks up her car.

The first season was great, but this season is even better. I don't know how they will finish it all up, but looking forward to it. It's just great and it is moving at a steady pace with no fillers. Bruce Campbell as The Gipper in the men's room with Lou was brilliant and so was Offerman asking Lou to ask Reagan about Joan Crawford's crabs and his response. Best show currently on the air now.

Not to mention Bruce Campbell playing an actor in both.

What was the music that started right before the kid went into the butcher's shop for the throw down? It was so familiar, but I can't place it.

Would you be my new best friends?

That episode was amazing, and in a show filled with highlights (Reagan in the men's room was incredible) the moment that stuck with me the most was Ed's faraway "what has my life become" stare as Peggy excitedly babbled on about how she'd finally come around and sold the car to get back the money and was willing to stick with him through thick and thin :xd:

Ninety-one? There are ninety other "Tiger Drivers"? Do any involve actual tigers, or driving?

Edit:


Peggy being an actual magazine hoarder (we never saw much evidence of it after their first scene together at the dinner table until they revealed the basement this episode) makes a lot of sense for the dynamic between her and Ed. She can't let go of stuff, whether it's the mags in her basement or the life and relationship she's not happy with anymore.

I'm pretty sure this show, this season, is making me feel like how breaking bad did. The sounds, the characters, the events, and by not killing the girl, the kid, or meth damon they resolved the issue momentarily and let me be relatively happy with the outcome.


A handful of shows think that good writing is making you care about a character and then killing them. To me, whats more challenging is writing them into situations that seems like they have a slim chance of getting out of and while baiting the viewer into beleiving that anyone can die at anytime and finding an inventive and beleiveable way for the character to get out.


I mean, lol at a loving richochet. A richochet, which causes confusion and allows a moment for people to breathe. Sure I'll take it. Thanks mr alien
