How are people not getting that dunst's split screens show a)what she said and b)what she was actually doing? It was super significant and super obvious?

It could only be more obvious if the words "SHE IS LYING AND NOT A GOOD PERSON BUT A SELF CENTERED MONSTER WHO DON'T MIND KILLING IF SHE CAN NOT GET CAUGHT, SHE DON'T LOVE FAT DAMON, SHE IS JUST USING HIM" was on screen when the split screens thing happens.

Glad to see she's immediately become the Skyler White of the show.

I actually sorta liked Skyler (including her lovely affair) and didn't read most of BB threads because of the constant bitching about Skyler so yeah i understand you pain but i fear Dunst's character isn't going to be the most sympathetic person on the show and people are going to hate her for putting fat matt damon into terrible troubles.

Dunst is great, if you've got 3 hours to kill I'd suggest checking out her performance in Melancholia if you really wanna see her knock it out of the park.

That being said, her 5 minutes of screen time in episode one wasn't anything to write home about but she hasn't really had enough time to really get into the meat of her character.

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.

but this season is setting up that there's a crime family in a tiny town that also has a police department that's dimly aware of it,

A lot of tiny lovely towns have people who are into gambling, prostitutes and alcohol (especially when it's prohibited) ; organized crime can prosper everywhere someone need a loan or like illegal vices, they don't really care if you live in nowheretown USA, you pay, they provide. Hell, that's probably how the Civella crime family made a fortune in Kansas city. Protection Racket is also a great cash flow and local cops are badly equipped to fight against omerta.

Huh, "omert�" is one of those words I've heard before but never bothered to look up. In a way, I've always hated it as a plot device.

Yet there is a reason it's federal RICO cases that got so many of the crimes family leader arrested and not local investigations. But i get your point especially with the POWERPOINT MAFIA scene.

The kid looks kind of Native American. Is he the indian's kid or the oldest gearheartd son's?

I think he is Bear (the middle bearded&less macho son)'s son. His mother may be indian (maybe their hitman's sister?).

Of course, the crazy conspiracy theorist guy is the only lawyer in town.

I don't care if I'm the only person in this thread who wants it, but I want Peggy to have a happy ending. I have no idea why. I just want her to make it to California and chill on the beach. I want the final shot of the season to be her sipping a drink out a coconut as she reads a magazine.

i can see her dying saving Ed and Ed going to California and living happy.

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.

OR he dies in this season final and season 3 is a parallel universe of season 1.

There's only one character from this season I want to see pop up in season 3 somehow: Mike Milligan, preferably played by Samuel L. Jackson.

I hope season 3 starts with him walking over corpses to reach his office, just after malvo's headquarters attack.

That could have been any stash of money hidden under a red ice scraper.

Yeah what's next? A UFO in the middle of a firefight?
