sector_corrector posted:it looked like there was a DOI beneath the link for Vargas, and I was curious to run it and see what it returns. You got me curious, too, so I screenshotted this --  -- which gives us -- http://dx.doi.org/10.3978 -- which corresponds to these guys -- quote:Wanfang Data has been a task force of the Institute of Scientific & Technological Information of China (ISTIC), the Chinese Ministry of Science & Technology, since 1950s. Unless there's a Chinese connection next episode, I think this is a dead end.

She killed Ray's goon and Ray confronts her over how morose he is? It's little surprise she slapped him, but she covers with some poo poo about his Chi to redirect to goading him into doing something about his brother? She handles it like she slipped up and needed to stay on target. Why? Is Ray being used? Or is this some Pinky and the Brain poo poo where they're a legit team despite her being the brains?

ArmZ posted:apparently he's good at bridge, or at least a good partner for her. That's a good point. I'm basing my read of their situation based on how she's handling the hosed up poo poo. If he's in over his head and she's not but is smart enough to handle him, of course she's handling him. Is it her, or the dictates of circumstance?

timp posted:It honestly felt less like his fault and more like a directorial blunder, like he wasn't really used correctly. Sometimes he would deliver a line in a way that made you feel like he was lovable but dumb, and sometimes he'd deliver a line that made you feel like he was a scumbag That's just you. He was 100% douchebag to me.

Krispy Kareem posted:The bulimia was a nice touch. Shows him as flawed or damaged rather than just a mysterious criminal mastermind. Feels too on-the-nose, like a caricature. Like I'm supposed to think his ostentatious lines are word-vomit instead of just ostentatious. Instead of seeing a mixture of overcompensation for class-anxiety, an overwrought narcissistic affectation and a subtly menacing silver-tongued-as-a-skill character, he feels a bit caricatured now.

Unzip and Attack posted:ave to admit I'm becoming a little disappointed with this season overall. Ep 1 was stellar, probably the best of the season openers but I just don't find the story all that compelling. The characters are solid, the writing is very good, I don't know, the whole plot just kinda feels uninspired. I feel like it's turning into a morality play about 'corruption wins.' It feels very appropriate to Trump's America right now. Or Russia.

The new chief reminds me of coworkers I've had. They've run into the, "never go full retard," problem where it's just too real.

Ray needs to hit up a spa. I used to think of spas as 'girls day out' fare but having been to one? My god. If you don't like spas, you don't like relaxing.

Er, Emmit. Although, if Ray had learned to properly relax then he might not have had prideful grudges enough to've gotten to conspiring.

Gorn Myson posted:So whats this season like? I'm about to start watching purely because I just realised that Carrie Coon is in it. It's good, and she gets a lot of screen time. In light of the past episode, I'd say it clears the same bar as S1 and S2. A little slower to start, though.

Literal Jewish Wizard Out Of Nowhere feels like the world's greatest celebrity cameo and show crossover from Twin Peaks, which I'm watching for the first time along with the new season.

Let me tell you something, Fargo hasn't even begun to peak. And when it does peak, you'll know. Because it's gonna peak so hard that everybody in America's gonna feel it.

I feel like Varga was the protagonist, and we saw the show from the perspectives of secondary characters with Coon being a good guy antagonist.

Wafflecopper posted:What the actual gently caress? No wonder America is so overweight if that's what you call a loving salad It's a weird hold over from the 1960s when cookbooks went insane. To wit: liver pâté en masque:  It's chilled liver-green bean purée with pepper-gelatin glaze. These recipes are like something out of a Markov generator written by a gelatin-salesmen.

Another reason to never take a time-machine past 1980. I mean, just look at this:  Like, you can. Reminds me of that line about, "Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a gelatin." Edit: I really like the bone-in chicken.
