I'm pretty sure there were no TVs filming that at the time, was this just a throwaway reference?

I am so happy this show is back. Ewan McGregor really looks like two completely different people, if I didn't know he was playing 2 characters I would have had no idea.

Ewan as Ray looks like a cross between Buffalo Bill from Silence Of The Lambs and Tom Cruise in Born On The Fourth Of July, and it's hilarious.

Well, I haven't seen any characters from prior seasons yet.

Maybe the first two seasons existed as a TV show for this season. It's like layers upon layers.

I am the sexiest poster in the world!
I was actually hoping they'd subvert the weird and messed up deaths of Fargo by having the air conditioner miss, and then maybe they drop something else to get him or have to deal with him some other way. I do hope they do that in one of the seasons at least. Maybe you're expecting the more "normal" people to kill the guy and not the criminal or killer, but they mess it up and the killer kills them and then that's the crux of the investigation. I dunno, something along those lines?

Anyway, had no clue this was coming up so this was a nice surprise, looking forward to the season.

Rewatching season two and the butcher is being interrogated in the sheriff's office and talking about Sisyphus pushing boulders up hills.

Is that mentioned in season 1 as well? Seems to be a common theme that doesn't actually mean anything.

Patrick Wilson also hits on that theme with Kirsten Dunst at the end of season 2 where he tells her the story of the helicopter pilot that jumped out of his helicopter and survived.

That certificate was framed too perfectly in that shot. Are Nikki and Ray's names on there? Since Ray shares the last name as the highest ranking local police officer in town's just murdered father, it might catch someone's eye.

And isn't 3rd place the same as 3rd runner up? They said 3rd place goes on to regionals so I guess we will know for certain if there's another tournament.

Not mentioned in the episode, but Gloria has a line in one of the commercials they frequently run that sounds like it must be the cause of death.

It's so rad to see such quality female roles in shows this good. When Gloria headed back out to the car I actually said out loud "get that shotgun you bad rear end" and then she did, completely fearless.

This season is going to be the best yet, I have a feeling.

Whatever that late '90s movie was about the small town beauty queens with Kirsten Dunst and Denise Richards hit on this, too: "I got 2nd Runner Up! I finished second!" "No, hun, that's third."

I don't know why the hell I remember that, but that movie was also very Midwestern, complete with accents.
