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.

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).

Jerusalem posted:I love that Mike Milligan has that kind of Elmore Leonard "bad guy who maybe isn't quite as smart as he thinks he is but isn't as dumb as others think either" thing going. The way he completely controlled the car stop scene was fantastic, especially considering the fact it's a black guy in the 70s being pulled over in the middle of nowhere by a white Sheriff. Peggy's secret lesbian boss is so dead. Also Fat Damon is fat and sad.

avclub posted:Betsy’s visit to the doctor was brutal, and the real pill/placebo dichotomy is one that I suspect will have further resonance down the line. There’s something about Lou’s, “I think you got the real pill” that sums up a whole lot of thinking, good and bad; the need to be positive in the face of misery, which then translates to believing that positivity in and of itself can somehow solve complex, and ugly, problems. Again, it’s Reagan and his “Good Vs. Evil” narratives. Lou needs to have faith in chance being not so random (and there’s slim promise that even a real pill would be enough to save Betsy); Peggy needs to believe that she can remake herself; Ed needs to believe that his troubled wife really does want the same things he wants; and the Gerhardts want to believe that guts and determination will be enough to face off against a more powerful organization. All of it’s just belief in the face of contrary evidence, and the worse things look, the greater one’s need to keep the faith that got you here. This episode did a great job humanizing Dodd, who was in danger of slipping into the standard role of The Bad Gerhardt. Him leaning on his mom in the car was a really unexpected but sweet moment. Man, those Luverne cops really poo poo the bed when it comes to picking up clues at the Waffle Hut. Jake Armitage posted:When I posted about the jewish demonic folklore last season, a lot of goons couldn't understand the difference between allegory and "Malvo's literally a demon", which is hilarious but so, so TVIV. Jake Armitage posted:The funniest part about last season was that all that demon stuff was pretty heavily telegraphed from the first episode, its just that it went right over all but like 3 or 4 people's head in this thread.

That was great, the only thing that slightly irritated me was Dodd both shooting his own guy and dropping his cattle prod to keep Peggy alive and get the show to Sioux Falls. Speaking of, her confession to Ted Danson was fantastic. She was building herself a coccoon of future possibilities while trapped in a museum of Ed's past, then she ran Rye over and saw a chance to unlock those possibilities. Just trying to be the best Peggy she can be.

Thoughts from when I watched this at 5 am: That disco version of Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In) made me grin like an idiot both times it showed up. "You're sending in the Undertaker? That guy's like 15 years old, he's not even Mean Mark Callous yet!" "Just don't be offended next time if I don't say hello before I shoot" is the most Fargo line possible. We're family Uncle Bear. Look in your heart! Okay, here's some screengrabs of the stuff all over Ted Danson's walls      check out the note in the last one: "I like the look of very angular symbols but they shouldn't be that harsh"? Also the book next to the note is about Khmer art & architecture in Thailand. What the poo poo. That really came out of nowhere. Lutha Mahtin posted:does "hosen-sheisse" mean what i think it means? That whole thing may have been my favorite episode of the season, taking Ed & Peggy out of the story for an episode really allowed everyone else to stretch out. Betsy, Floyd, Simone, Bear, and Mike all killed their scenes.

Welcome to another episode of the Peggy Blomquist Show we're moving now, things are flowing. Not trapped anymore!   well ... i-i mean that was our home Hey Dodd  don't gently caress with actualized women  KoRMaK posted:lol at mike and ed talking on the phone making a deal Did we ever see Ed tell the Gerhardts where to meet him before he called Mike? If not, I wonder how they'll get back in the mix. Also hope the guy who complained that this season isn't as much of a straight-up Fargo hommage as the last one enjoyed the lake line as much as I did.

She also didn't "physically overcome" anyone. She surprised Dodd twice, once when he dropped his taser like a dumbass in her hoarder basement and once when he was stringing up Fat Damon and she saw an opening to nail his foot to the floor. You make it sound like she challenged him to a fight and knocked him out with a haymaker.

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

(I haven't checked if you can buy that anywhere yet, maybe they'll release a soundtrack for the show.) Season 1 had a soundtrack but it's just the original stuff by Jeff Russo, not any of the others. http://www.amazon.com/Fargo-Original-Television-Soundtrack-Russo/dp/B00KEC48SY I'm guessing this one will be the same, so don't keep your hopes up for them releasing an awesome 70s mixtape.

WanderingKid posted:The whole episode is very cheeky to be honest. For the first time, there is a framing narrator. In film I'm not sure how this is supposed to work. In literature when I become aware of frame narrative, I immediately begin to doubt the validity of everything I'm reading - a habit that comes from having read Conrad's Heart of Darkness, which is like a game of Chinese whispers.
