The lady cop sure has a lot of problems with technology. door doesn't see her, phone doesn't work ..... is she touched by the aliens? Deus ex machina?

Will she have a win or loss because of this technology thing later...

For a second I thought it could also be that tall doughy friend neighbor from Love


Also thought the hotel was the same one they filmed the shootout at, but then I realized all motels basically look the same. It could have been shot at there maybe, like from a production point of view.

That epside was great. Why are we here, watching fargo?

I felt like I got fargo out of this episode for sure. Moments were able to breath, we chased down a lead, got to the bottom of it.... and it turned out to be a deadend. Oh well, thems the breaks sometimes. She thought she had a lead. We got a story.

Holy crap, was the robot animation sequence done by Don Hertzfeldt (It's Such a Beautiful Day, World of Tomorrow)?

Surprised that I didn't see this mentioned on a forum search (unless the forum search is broken or I did the search wrong).

Google searches come up with articles that mention that the sequence definitely is reminiscent of World of Tomorrow, but nothing that confirms if Don Hertzfeldt did it or not.

yea, i went through the same thing (also with mac) a little dissappoiting that they didn't get hertzfeldt themselves

The writer was on fresh air yesterday, and the old cheif def has a schrodinger thing going on that was accented:
-divored and not divorced
-cheif and not a cheif
-electronics don't see here
-is a lady "out of time", no facebook, computers, etc

The part where auto sensors don't see her is def some quantum mechanics stuff - the detectors don't see her because she is and isn't at the same time.

This was a very good and exciting episode.

Turns out the self actualizing couple wasn't nikki and ray. It's instead wrench and nikki! Ray was just a shclup that died along the way to this cute match up!

What was with the opening 80s era Stasi scene? I thought Varga or something would tie back into that but it didn't. I did get the bookend-ness of the DHS scene and that opening Stasi interview scene. Maybe that's all the connection their was, I dunno.

Ending scene was a copy of this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTK8torOylM nearly word for word

Ah I thought it sounded familiar

The scene's sole relevance to the plot is that the actual murderer went on to become one of Varga's henchmen. Beyond that it was really just thematic.

I liked nikki but emmit didn't mean to kill his dumb brother. The guy pulled the glass frame into his own face. Emmity shoulda told her that.

Agreed

Emmitt got hosed real bad in this season. He's a pretty tragic character.

I was not able to get into this season, I felt like I kept waiting for it to 'get good' and it never really did. It never gave me a reason to like any of the characters and it felt like everything went nowhere.
