I'm not sure what you'd put ahead of it for best TV/miniseries, but I'm sure they'll find something. Maybe Game of Thrones, if that's in the same category? This sucker deserves at least a Golden Globe though, if not an Emmy.

Game of Thrones is definitely not in the miniseries category. I think whoever wrote out the nominations meant to include the word "Movie" as in "Best TV Movie/Miniseries" All I know is it's not going to be True Detective.

It better not be another one of those super niche TV movies that I've never heard of again  !

I love what Milioti, Danson, Plemons, Jeffrey Donovan, and Angus Sampson are doing but their characters all seem to make up an amalgam of a great performance while Woodbine, Wilson, and Dunst really tie it up. They all stand out to me as the lead dogs in the three story arcs of cops, crime families, and Ed/Peggy.

Patrick Wilson deserves it because he's been one of the best actors the past 3 years and I'm so happy that the random guy I loved watching in The Watchmen turned into a star. And all respect to Dunst. This isn't the same girl from Spiderman. Holy cow is she fantastic at playing the complete psycho. "What the gently caress are you talking about lady" still has me laughing to this day. The main muscle for this mob family is terrified saying keep that bitch away from me about a 5'0 100 lb hairdresser haha

I love that Peggy was introduced carrying a dying man home with her, his head stuck through the windshield of her car, and she just goes about her business like nothing happened. And you wonder, "what's her deal, why on earth would she do that?". And then the show goes on, and by the end you get it.

Someone in a nearby town here did the same thing, except she didn't even hide the car and it was sitting in her driveway with the dead guy embedded in the windshield for 3 days before someone decided to report it.

OK so what was with the room full of alien (or Native American?) symbols that Betsy discovered a few episodes ago? Whose room was that?

i really liked the level of absurdity they cranked it up to this episode. hey let's introduce a hokey frame narrator and a literal bible of the expanded fargo universe, and have a giant no-doubts-about-it UFO show up at one of the most climactic moments of the season. to me it was kind of a "yeah, this is what this show is, if you don't like it get out" and i think it's super funny that they did it that explicitly about the convenience store items, the leinenkugel beer displayed is a year-round variety, and the old dutch packages aren't "old school" as these are the current design (ask me about beer and junkfood :goonsay;). and as a fun fact old dutch is actually based in minnesota, even though they are often considered more "canadian". i don't know if you can get these two brands in south dakota but it wouldn't surprise me My Lovely Horse posted:a black man making a deal at the crossroads?

the phone booth at the gas station had a game of Hangman going that someone was playing by scraping their car keys on the booth glass. the answer to that one looked like it was just "Sioux Falls" though.

I'm not so sure they were really the same, but they were similar enough to make me sit up and take notice. Might have been just the general theme of "black symbols on the wall" but there's no way it was coincidence.

Nothing is just there. If it looks like it might have meaning, it does. poo poo. I've got to go back and watch all the episodes again. I'm missing too many details. I freeze framed the scene where Mike is leaving the Sioux Falls massacre as the camera pans up in hopes of seeing something in the open door of Hank's hotel room. But nope, nothing. I still think he's an alien though.

Have to admit when I saw that Danson was going to be in this season I thought about not even watching. I've had a strong dislike for him all the way back to Cheers. God drat he is excellent in this role though.

Reviewing things in my head on the stretch to the last episode, and I have to say: if there's one person I wouldn't have expected to be as well realized as he turned out, and to be the last bad guy standing who everyone's after now, it's the guy who started out as "the rear end in a top hat Gerhardt brother's Native henchman."

I don't understand why anyone would dislike Ted Danson, unless they were just upset that they weren't getting a Ted Danson deal with NBC or riding on the Ted Danson plane.

Hanzee might be an alien, might not. I think Peggy is an alien though. And the Native Americans (aliens or not) have been battling them for hundreds of years. Once Hanzee saw Peggy for what she is he had to take her out.

I think the only negative for the finale, and this applies to the season as a whole I guess, is that Patrick Wilson has impenetrable plot armor.
