Accretionist posted:I didn't get a good look at the books. What was going on there? Looks like some old sci-fi novels, the model he carved was based on one of the covers. My first thought was that the dad used to be a sci-fi writer, or was unpublished or something. Since everything else is so similar to the other two seasons there's surely gonna be some sort of weird subplot like the jewish demon/ufo stuff. Edit: The thing she picked up to use as a weapon looked a lot like a Hugo award, so yeah, he must have been a sci-fi author. Chadzok fucked around with this message at 09:12 on Apr 20, 2017 |

I know everything Fargo has that element of "stop now before it gets worse", but I just can't shake the thought this whole season that Emmet and Si should have just gone full cops and lawyers after that first meeting with Varga. They had a contract etc. and didn't do anything wrong. anyway, good show.

Although I agree and am content with the ambiguity of the ending (in fact I loved it); one point I noticed was that shutting down debate as 'pointless' is like the only time that Varga didn't choose instead to blather on about some random facts that barely related to anything. Very uncharacteristic and my feeling was that was that he was worried. Gloria does also seem uncertain though, trying to convince herself that she's right. The two scenes bookending this season made up for any shortcomings of this season. First, a man is told he is lying about his identity and is accused of crimes and as an audience we are convinced he is innocent. Then, we are told a story. Then, a similar scene is shown in which another man he is told he is lying about his identity and is accused of crime and as an audience we are convinced that he is guilty. The story of Varga himself proves his philosophy that stories become reality all the time. In a way I think this whole season is a meditation on why Fargo (the movie) started off proclaiming "this is a true story". One potential interpretation of the opening scene is that this dolt was set up to take the fall for Yuri's handiwork in the same way that Jimmy In-And-Out took the fall for Emmit & Ray later in the season - if Varga got Yuri out of a murder of passion it would explain his loyalty to him. Not sure if the ages really fit but whatever. Chadzok fucked around with this message at 11:29 on Jun 24, 2017 |
