The look on Milligan's face as they're shooting up the Gerhardt home was incredible. He's having so much fun, and I have to imagine Bokeem Woodbine was legitimately feeling the same thing. This episode was such good TV, goddamn.

They're going to do a no country for old men show next and the first season is going to be about sheriff bell's youth and wartime experience.

Guy A. Person posted:Yea that's fair. We are obviously supposed to hate Dodd. Bear I feel like we were supposed to think of him as more reasonable at least until this episode. I still like Bear, because he actually listened to Ron Swanson, Esquire talking sense. Speaking of which, holy poo poo how good was Nick Offerman in this episode? The beard should have been a giveaway that he was a barrister but it still surprised me.

I can't afford it right now, but if I ever requested a Fargo gif to replace my hideous avatar, it'd probably be Mike's little smirk as he's filling the Gerhardt estate with lead.

hepscat posted:There's a French play named "Rhinoceros" but offhand all I remember is everyone turning into rhinos. Something very avant garde that I read in high school English. It's by Eugene Ionesco. The play deals with one lone human running around the town where everyone is turning into a rhinoceros. No one in the town believes him, like his best friend, and in a scene (it's really a great scene) "Everyone in town has succumbed to rhinoceritis save for Berenger, Dudard and Daisy. Berenger is locked up in his apartment, yelling at the rhinos that rush by for having destroyed civilization until Dudard arrives to check on him. Dudard trivializes the transformations by saying that people have the right to choose what they do, even transform; but Berenger insists that the transformations couldn't be voluntary since his friend Jean had initially hated the rhinos and that he was probably brainwashed. Dudard counterargues that people can change their minds and gradually grows more accepting until he concludes that he must "follow [his] peers and [his] leaders" before departing and turning into a rhino." Really, the whole town is turning to poo poo and there's one character that sees this and wants to stop it. "Discovering he is completely alone, Berenger laments his behavior with Daisy. In his solitude he begins to doubt his existence – his language, his appearance, and his mind. Alone, he finds himself in the wrong and attempts to change into a rhinoceros. He struggles and fails. He returns to the mirror, face-to-face with his fate and breaks down as he struggles to accept the place he has given himself. Suddenly, he snaps out of it and renews his vow to take on the rhinos. Berenger valiantly shouts "I'm not capitulating!" to the audience before returning to the window to hurl abuse at the passing rhinoceros." Basically:

This is not really about Fargo but should probably interest people here. Fargo creator Noah Hawley to to write TV adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut’s Cat’s Cradle for FX.AV Club Article posted:Back in April, we reported that Kurt Vonnegut’s fourth novel, Cat’s Cradle, had been optioned for TV by IM Global Television. At that point almost nothing was known about the project other than the fact that it would indeed use Cat’s Cradle as its source material, which is implicit in a TV show labeled as Cat’s Cradle adaptation. Now though, according to Deadline, a precious few details have emerged: the show will live on FX as a limited series, and be written and executive produced by Fargo creator Noah Hawley. I am very down for this. The writer of my favourite TV show adapting work by one of my favourite authors? Yes please.

buddhanc posted:That was some loving incredible television. I'm not well versed on the behind the scenes action for fargo, is there going to be a third season? I haven't been keeping up with the numbers, but the attitude towards Fargo, from both Noah Hawley and FX, is "You do not do Fargo just to do Fargo." If FX wants another one, Hawley will deliver it when he's good and ready, not because they need something for next year.

timp posted:I was thrown off by the Jabberwocky reading too (not in a bad way, but like Terra-da-loo said, puzzled by the significance of its inclusion.) I'd like to posit that, in addition to whatever the initial purpose was, it was meant to mirror Karl Weather's tangled prose in some way. He's on a mission too but he might as well be spouting gibberish. Its about a boy (Mike) who is warned by his father (Joe) to be wary of a fearsome beast (the Gerhardt family). The boy takes up his sword (gun) and finds and slays the beast before bringing its head back to his overjoyed father. Joe and the Kansas City frontline being dead is an unfortunate technicality but the spirit of the tale remains. It is revealing of his intention. Or maybe not because the telling of the tale is a real mix up. After "kiss my grits", you think boy Mike sets out to hunt the beast called Dodd at the insistence of his conflicted daughter, but instead he hunts Floyd/Otto in the Gerhardt family lair, whilst Jubjub bird Dodd and frumious Bandersnatch Bear are distracted. He wants the figurative and literal head of the family so he can gallumph (gallop triumphantly?) back to his hotel room and place it in a box next to...whats left of Joe. Then stare forlornly out the window. Edit: this show really is the best. WanderingKid fucked around with this message at 08:46 on Nov 20, 2015 |

This is a very interesting take and more likely what they were going for when it was written. When I was thinking about it, the idea of assigning characters to monsters mentioned did cross my mind, but I honestly didn't have the chance to think about it hard/long enough to pull anything like this from it, myself. I appreciate that it opens itself up so easily to this level of analysis and interpretation.

Who the gently caress is the shadow men that ramonds brother has a talk with? What kind of syndiycate has researchers and a payroll to get a powerpoint printed for a meeting about taking over a mob terrotiry? The first 2 times i thought not much of it, but after a third and fourth and aliens and ron swanson talkin conspiracy in the first ep for a fith time i finally realized: who the gently caress does that? who has the resources to do that? The NSA? .... thats too modern, they are recent. The CIA? The fbi? The smoking man? this show is very good.

Mameluke posted:After this episode, it looks like the only surviving group of Gerhardt goons left are Bear's; Peggy/Dodd killed Dodd's two (but he still has Hahnzee), and Mike and the Kitchen Brother killed those at the compound. While Dodd's pretty emasculated already, I doubt he'll get any more support later on. There's a light in the sky above the police cruiser as Lou is driving Ed to jail

It's kind of funny though because Hawley said that during the summer, and possibly just as an aside to that reporter. Unless they, like, screened an episode during that press event, his comment would just sound like a dumb joke. But now with the whole maybe-UFO subplot revealed, it makes me wonder why he said that. I'm not trying to go into TVIV tinfoil detective mode, but it'd be interesting to know if it was just something that slipped out, or if he was intentionally doing a David X. Cohen style "make a tiny reference, and see how nuts all the Internet nerds get about it".
