timp posted:I hate to say it, but I wasn't blown away by Nick Offerman. With all the kooky midwest accents being thrown around, and seeing him do character acting in Deadwood, I fully expected him to dive right into one, especially with that beard he's sporting. Instead he sounded exactly like Ron Swanson and it definitely threw me. Some people in Minnesota really do sound that way  . I thought the Offerman character being a hard-core conspiracy nut was really funny but i'm not sure what the deal with his accent is. Is he supposed to be from out of town? Or is Offerman just bad at doing accents? It sounded almost mildly Canadian to me rather than Upper Midwest  I'm interested in seeing what's going to happen with Plemons's character. It seems like he will be the Jerry/Lester character in this story, but he really doesn't seem like as much of a depressed sad-sack as either of those two, and the initial crime is not his own doing. Overall though, that was a really solid hour of TV. It set up a lot of plot threads and it looks like there will be some great characters again. I'm glad Jake Armitage is posting again this season, too: in S1 everyone thought he was insane because he was pulling out all these allegories to ancient Jewish mystical figures but then a couple episodes later everything he predicted made perfect sense

I'm disappointed that the IMDB for this show lists the number of episodes that each actor appears in, as it essentially functions as a mild spoiler for the whole season. Is this common practice on IMDB?

If a character is shown for 6 episodes, for example, you don't know if he only shows up in 1-6, then dies, or is in 6 non-consecutive episodes throughout the season.

Jake Armitage posted:So far the only thing I don't think I'm going to like is Bruce Campbell as Ronald Reagan. I love Bruce Campbell to death, but I'm not sure how having a real-world character in this is going to play. I like that these stories are self contained fantasies that you don't have to believe really happened in this universe, and the whole Reagan thing could mess with that.

Something I noticed is that while Bruce as Reagan didn't actually show up in this week's episode there was a little glimpse of him as there was a political poster up in the background of the bingo hall scene.

That was entirely way too loving good. The only disappointment was Kirsten Dunst, I'm not sure what's happened to her since she used to be a pretty decent actress. Patrick Wilson killed it and that intro was incredible. e: Ted Danson, oh my God

For some reason, at first I thought Kieran Culkin was Jake Gyllenhall. The one thug enforcer guy looks an awful lot like Mr. Numbers' mute partner from season 1. The homages to Coen movies were good but I hope it was a pilot episode thing and not a running theme, I don't remember season 1 laying it on so thick. e: I am 100% certain Ron Swanson was intended to remind us of Walter

I mean, season 1 had the actual suitcase full of money from Fargo as a plot device and there were lots of other little winks (mostly names and stuff).

Well that's what I'm saying, there's a big difference between names and even the suitcase and something as specific as the UFO scene.

I think the point is that the scraper and suitcase of money make sense because it turns out Fargo Season 1 was actually a direct sequel to Fargo the movie. As it stands at the moment, the UFO scene is nothing more than 'HEY COEN BROS REFERENCE!!', and is a lot more in-your-face than previous references and little echoes of other Coen stuff Season 1 had.

Frostwerks posted:If it wasn't witnessed, did it ever even happen? No, and in all certainty probably has no bearing on the plot unless it just keeps on showing up. I did think the historical references were a bit much, but it is also the first episode. My main problem, I think it was they also just concentrated the references way too close together from two side characters. Offerman's character in particular was just belting out American history when he was on screen. Also, I don't know why Reagan would be involved in rural northern Midwest beyond a campaign spot though. That said, it was up to the standard of the first season at very least if not better though, and no second season curse here. Ardennes fucked around with this message at 11:30 on Oct 15, 2015 |

Does anyone know what book Lou was reading to Molly? I vaguely recall the use of "ejaculated" for "exclaimed" in a book by one of the Bronte sisters, but I don't know how common its usage was in that era.

"Ejaculated" for "said" was pretty common for a while but I'm not gonna look up dates bc my online OED isn't free anymore.
