Yeah, I thought she might actually be pretty smart and savvy in previous episodes, but the whole cozying up to Milligan to feed him info to betray her whole family puts her at Peggy-level as far as brains for future planning goes. I know she hates her father with a seething passion, but this seems like just about the dumbest possible way to go about getting back at him. I hope something happens later on to make her more than just another bumbling mid-West hick way in over their heads against the big city gangsters, cuz this season already suffers from too many of those type characters.

I do think she has a plan, though: Get out of the Midwest in the end + revenge on the world she was born into. The only fault in the plan is staying to look on as that world die (for revenge/emotional catharsis), and of course trusting the coolest Kansas Funk Band[TM] Mike Milligan & the Kitchen Brothers.

E: I.e. not stupid, angry with a grudge.

Did anyone notice that the dead Gerhardt son's name was Elron? As in... L. Ron? As in L. Ron Hubbard?

Elron is a real name, believe it or not.

Did anybody catch what Hanzee said before the haircut? I thought it was something like "I'm tired of this life" but I wasn't sure and I wasn't able to go back and re-watch it yet.

It was "all professional like" I think? As in a respectable 'I am not a dangerous man' haircut.

Quoting the Guardian: Run Through the Jungle by Spoon’s Britt Daniel. Now that is esoteric, and who knows where we can get it.

I think he recorded it specifically for the show.

I loving love a good acoustic cover so I demuxed the audio track, converted it to mp3 and cut out the last two minutes. Would posting that here be :filez:? If yes I guess you could pm me and I'll send you a dropbox link.

I don't have premium :(

This season was amazing but in my headcanon the whole Moses Tripoli thing is a coincidence.

My exact feelings. It is much better this way.

Like I said, I liked the show. But the cool and weird people had to share all that screen time with the vanilla folks. They could have done so much more with the matriarch character, the indignant second son, the ghoulish Indian ninja, and the sick wife who exists only to spend a lot of screentime reminding us Good Guy has a family.

I'm happy to read about what I missed. Read the last three pages, some talk about the flying saucer, didn't find much else.

I think this profound difference of opinion is rather easily explained; you like entertaining stuff where something being realistic isn't necessary, aaand I like things being exceedingly (plausibly) realistic if they are going to be entertaining at all. Fargo 2 is a venn diagram, and we pull in different directions.
