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. Also wasn't crazy about his character, seemed like a thinly veiled excuse to throw out a bunch of 60's and 70's references. Seriously, John McCain? Was he really all that relevant of a name in the late 70's?

I'm sure they're planning on having him be ultra-paranoid about the show's events and then ultimately being right about everything (they already hinted at this) but something about Offerman's portrayal plus the highly on-the-nose dialogue really didn't click with me.

Edit: FWIW I felt similarly last year about Glenn Howerton: A comedic actor whose work I really love gets underutilized and cast in a decidedly uncreative role

The John McCain thing most definitely. Also, love canal and Pol Pot. We get it. Those are things that happened folks.

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.

If it wasn't witnessed, did it ever even happen?

Biggest thing that irked me was the split screen. I just wasn't feeling it. At least so far. They've built up a lot of goodwill over the last 11 episodes so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.

She is a “a small town beautician with big city dreams who is trying to figure out who she really is and what she really wants as she struggles with traditional societal expectations." I somehow hope her character arc is joining the local Fargo mafia as a hit woman.

I'm only 10 minutes into the second episode so I'm gonna wait a minute before reading the last couple dozen replies but my completely out there prediction is she's the mother of someone important in the season 1.

When I was watching the scene with Mike at the type writer store I honestly thought to myself "Wow, Hollywood makeup is incredible. I hardly recognized Dave Chappelle."

It's not Dave Chappelle.

He stole Obama's white newscaster voice who stole it in turn from Chappelle.

I was at the doctor and there was nothing else to read so I started reading a hunting magazine and they had tips and poo poo and one of them that stuck with me for cleaning a grinder after processing venison was to run saltine crackers through it.

From what little we've seen of him so far, if the lobster metaphor pans out, I would be willing to bet if/when we see Bear gets down to business it's going to be incredible. Also got some creepy vibes from dobb at the end there, yeesh.

Me too. He's by far the most understated character and if he goes full beast mode it could be really great.

I've said a couple of times that I'd bet good money that this is what is going to happen. If the pincer/crusher claw thing comes to be I wonder just which one he'll come across as and how.

I have a friend whose dad is a Vietnam vet and when he went back on vacation he said that the tunnels they show off now are actually bigger than they actually were back then. Also in a goofy coincidence the VC vet who was showing off the tunnel told a story about a game of cat and mouse he had in the tunnels with an America GI and after comparing dates it turned out it was my friend's dad.

Awwwwkward.

I liked the reveal that Dodd never stood a chance of actually being a normal person, what with his dad making him murder someone when he was a little kid.

On the other hand, I don't think at all that Dodd would consider it as anything other than a point of pride. Both opinions aren't exclusive either though.

savinhill posted:

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.

Her dad is also angling for some poo poo so it must be hereditary.

Yeah that owned.

I feel like this show really kicked up the intensity a notch or two this episode, I was absolutely loving every minute of it. The KC/Gerhardt negotiations (Brad Garrett is killing this role), Dodd backstory + moment of vulnerability in the car with his mom, and especially Lou giving Peggy and Ed a chance to come clean...Ed was sooo close to spilling the beans and Lou knew it, but Peggy continues to be just the worst.

Also feel bad for Dodd's daughter...she's a rebellious free spirit just trying to piss off her dad, but she has no idea how incredibly damning her actions are to her whole family.

Also, is this the first time we've seen Mike kill? And a fleeing woman, no less, surely to show just how cold he really is.

I didn't know whot Brad Garrett was off the top of my head but sweet jesus the dudes a loving giant.
