Slightly disappointed the mom was killed off tonight because I would've liked to have seen what happened had she found out Bear killed Simone, but this show is still awesome.

I don't even care how bizarre and jarring it was, the flying saucer just showing up all personal was amazing and I'm so glad we got that instead of them just sticking a UFO reference in every episode just for fun or something and not having any actual payoff. Also, "It's just a flying saucer, hon, we gotta go" ~ACTUALIZED~

Before anyone starts throwing around theories that Peggy's an alien because the UFO didn't faze her, the book at the beginning finally gave us some Ed & Peggy backstory. Peggy losing her parents and growing up on an isolated farm without anyone else around for miles makes a ton of sense for her character.  A bunch of idiots debating the merits of pissing in a pool, literally getting caught with their pants off  this show is pretty cool you guys   also appearantly the cover at the end was a new recording? I NEED THIS SOUNDTRACK RIGHT loving NOW

Now that was definitely a massacre at Sioux Falls. No two ways about it. Ok, then. wrt the aliens. I like how they are integrated in the story. They are sort of there, as a real thing, and people certainly react to them (curious, amazed, shocked etc) but they are not the main story, they are (so far) handled sort of gracefully (no abductions, no magical alien cancer cures, no human-alien conspiracies, no characters of alien origin they didn't know about etc). It adds to the odd events and general flavor of the show - the writers probably realised that they can pull the rope of "this is a true story" further than they did in season one (eg with the convenient fish rain). Peggy's line did get a big laugh out of me, though. "It's just a flying saucer, we gotta go." edit: Is it too insensitive to ask for a gif of that Dakota police captain being blasted by a shotgun into a wall?

So Peg's maiden name being Knutson might very well mean that she's canonically related to this lovely lady: Bunny Lebowski - real name, Fawn Knutson.

Sepinwall's review for this episode sort of sums up my coolness for this season of Fargo as a whole, where there's about a billion plot niggles or downright stupid and illogical moves characters on this show make to move its plot forward that makes this show's sophomore season, while arguably (and at this point I'd say it's a very concrete arguably) better than season one, a season I'm certainly less passionate about It also doesn't help that last year was kind of fallow for dramas so Fargo was easily one of the two or three best dramas of the year while now there's so much good television everywhere else that the more frustrating aspects of this show come across as far more damning than before. Fargo season one was at or near-perfect television, and this is a fantastic character piece that fully realizes its time and place with really fantastic character and dialog work when it's not forcing characters to be illogical and stupid to move the show forward with a plot that has...quite a bit of problems

Jesus that motel scene. This episode hit all the right spots- I was smiling, sad, laughing like hell, horrified, and had a clinched rear end in a top hat during the shooting scene. This show doesn't disappoint. e- Oh and Adam Arkin, the Kansas City boss who sent the undertaker, was the one who directed this episode. Awesome.

And for reference i'm not talking about the alien stuff, which might be the single best payoff this season has had, I'm talking about stuff like Mike Milligan shooting up the house but inexplicably leaving Floyd and the granddaughter alive, or Hank after getting knocked out in the process of defending Peggy from being killed wakes up and rushes off without securing Peggy's safety (which the show even notes how illogical and stupid a move that is with Hank literally saying "I should've checked on her" in the subsequent episode) or Ed somehow beating two officers in a police car to a location they both knew that he was going, or the show constantly losing exactly when things are supposed to happen or when they did happen, or this episode which was just a loving cavalcade of the worst possible decisions at every possible time summed up most precisely with Lou somehow being unable to convince a police officer to do his loving job while standing less than fifty feet away from a murdered body. The show is forcing its plot to have big things happen but needs to railroad specific characters into specific roles so Lou is forced by an uncaring bureaucracy to be just ineffectual enough to be in the right place to notice the Gerhardts coming to kill everyone, but not effectual enough to have a significant impact on the events that happen afterwards. It's all a bunch of really obvious piece moving on a show that didn't need it and it's graduated from "minor annoyance" to "full blown problem"

The UFO was some straight-up Magnolia poo poo in the best possible way. Although I know there's no way it happens, I'd love for the end of this episode to be the end of Mike Milligan's storyline for the season. Even if it took him a while, Kansas City's got to appreciate how completely and totally the Gerhardts were annihilated there, right?

They already established the local police were being paid off. Also, maybe try to calm down and enjoy yourself more. None of this actually matters in the broad scheme of things. It's just televised fiction. edit: Toxxupation posted:or Hank after getting knocked out in the process of defending Peggy from being killed wakes up and rushes off without securing Peggy's safety (which the show even notes how illogical and stupid a move that is with Hank literally saying "I should've checked on her" in the subsequent episode also, he was totally out of it and possibly concussed.

"We're realized  ""What's she saying?" "She realized something." The lady cop was really cool, it's sad she so obviously looked up to the Police Captain who basically herded all his men into a killing pen.

The UFO didn't show up until Hank got shot, so maybe it was all a hallucination in his head.
