There's straight a line used by Kieran Culkin in the trailer for s2 that doesn't get used in the actual episode, meaning we could have gotten slightly more Rye!

I agree. I thought Season 1 was really good but I ended up taking a break watching it and finished it up later. This season I can't wait for the next episode to come. There's just so much to be interested in even though there's not a super complicated true crime plot. Just a ton of great character development and a solid, interesting story about two crime families going to war and the people caught up in the middle of it.

Going solely on actor ages, Billy Bob Thornton is sixty years old right now, which means he would have been in his late fifties when they filmed Fargo Season 1, which took place in 2006. Assuming Malvo was also in his late fifties in that season, season two takes place 27 years earlier in 1979, which would mean Malvo would have been around thirty for all of this. So it's not crazy to think he would have been kicking around as a killer in the timeframe of the second season, but he's working out of Reno in 2006 and doesn't seem to know the lay of the land in Fargo or the greater midwest area so it doesn't make a ton of sense for him to be in KC doing jobs in Sioux Falls if that's the case.

Thats part of the reason why I was disappointed in the resolution to season 1. I liked when Malvo had some sort of otherwordly evil nature to him, but then it just turned out that he was just a petty rear end in a top hat.

Anyway I'm trying season 2 and I'm loving it 5 episode in. The butcher shop just burned down. God I hope Peggy and Ed both die.

I don't know, I loved Malvo's belated revelation that he'd underestimated Lester and that he was no longer the predator. In his final face-to-face with Gus when all he can do is bare his teeth, it's his admission that he's trapped, cornered and helpless and all he can do now is put on a desperate show of aggression. To me that was a perfect end to him, he was so used to being the top dog/getting his own way that he got complacent and lost his edge.

That's the thing I don't get about people that saw him as a sort of devil figure. He is setup almost explicitly as an animalistic predator. That's the gist of most of his anecdotes, the power dominance games he plays, how he champions people that embrace their inner desires. The most intellectual thing about him is his studies of the random folks he tries to influence, otherwise he's a profoundly instinctual person. He meets a random person, he decides to kill someone. He's given a job to help a man being blackmailed out, he decides to take over the blackmail scheme. He is in the middle of a months long undercover operation that has nearly gotten him married to maintain his cover, and he instantly decides to kill everyone the second Lester steps to him. And his death is ultimately that of an animal. He rips himself free of a bear trap, and he's killed while helpless in his den. The narrative could not be clearer on his role. He represents something we left behind to build the world we have. And his ability to ignore convention to do what he wants gives him a certain short term effectiveness over people that are constrained by our rules and hang ups, but he still dies the death of an animal and everyone moves on with their life. There's a reason we don't act like he does by and large, and it has nothing to do with weakness.

e: I mean come on, he even convinces that stupid kid at the motel to piss in his boss' car to express his independence.

Holy poo poo didn't realize Lou was Keith Carradine from S1. I loved both characters, but now I love one like 3 times as much? What's happening? It also clears up one particular complaint I had about this season, which was that I thought this season's cop character was too much like that dad cop from before. D'oh.

Also Ed might turn out to be a badass but he doesn't have some mobster past. He's been shown to be totally over his head even when we see him dealing with stuff all by himself.

On the contrary, I love it when otherworldly evil people die in hilariously unfitting ways (for example, being iced by a mailman)
