I had no idea David Thewlis was gonna be in this. His performance in Naked is still one of my favorite things ever.

I heard "flip a B-word" but since I've never heard of "flip a bitch" as slang for U-turn I was just like "...what?" The only slang for U-turn I can remember hearing is "flip a U-ee (yoo-ee)" in New England

Ewan is definitely doing better at keeping down his Scottish accent as Ray than as Emmitt, he's killing it as Ray

While I think it's great that the show has a theme and sticks to it (the same theme as the film, people bumbling into preposterously hosed up situations) I do have a sneaking suspicion they're going to subvert it this time. I don't know how or to what extent but I do think the play for your third album is to go weird.

It's kinda interesting for the show to go full speed on giving clues about some kind of science fiction stuff going on with the police chief. I wouldn't be surprised if this season ends up getting exponentially weird. Like I'm even wondering if McGregor's accent slipping when he's Emmitt is supposed to be intentional and he's a Scottish con artist or something because he keeps it in check as Ray (and as every other American he's ever played in his career).

Raspberry Jam It In Me posted:Are all these gigantic, global crime syndicates in Minnesota based on something real or are they completely made up? It's so loving ridiculous that you have all these Anton Chigurs and various crime families fighting over some bland, sleepy small towns. There are entire small towns in the deep South that are under the control/protection of organized crime - sometimes the Mafia, sometimes the Korean Mafia, sometimes White Supremacists. Those are the only three that I know for sure of. And some of those towns are even smaller than the ones in the show.

I think the Schrodinger's Cat stuff is foreshadowing that the ex-Chief is both alive and dead, hence why the door never opens for her and cell phones don't hear her.

So are we to presume that Theodore saw "Ennis Stussy" on the toilet, and decided "I'll change my name to Ennis and go where Stussy Toilets are operated out of"?

...Mac wasn't literally playing Mac, he was playing a guy with the same mannerisms and attitude. And that's what I meant with Howerton, his character had the same mannerisms and attitude as Dennis. Unless I missed something and the cop we saw literally said "My name is Mac and I'm from Philly"?

David Thewlis is most popularly known for playing a werewolf in Harry Potter, but he got his critical breakout in Mike Leigh's Naked in 1993, in which he says... "I was a werewolf, but I got better."

I think the scene was also intentionally meta-misleading because they knew we'd think "oh wow they killed off Nikki" I almost wish they had, just to really screw with "the formula". Before that scene I was positive Nikki would be in the season finale, and that scene made me question my assumptions.

This season is about information and communication and how they create reality rather than represent it. Varga is an unrestricted Internet/global economy personified. There are other themes but that seems to me to be the big one. e: like, even to the point where his plan for getting them rich is to buy literal empty lots and he says out loud "I might as well not exist"

Nikki is actually dead, that's why she was lying in cold water, to keep from decomposing. Aspirin was to keep her blood from clotting shut. I'm not sure I'm kidding.

sticklefifer posted:I liked this episode and I like this season. Take that, internet.  This season has been slow and weird compared to the first two and we'll see how it ends up falling in the rankings but I can't say I haven't been surprised and delighted so far. So happy to see Mr. Wrench. Maybe the local crime families are fighting back against Varga and that's going to become apparent when next episode opens with Wrench killing Varga's goon and saving Gloria  "Ya didn't tell me yer a hitman!" *passes her a note* "WAS"

Mr. Wrench is gonna mime the entirety of Bill's "I had a partner" speech from The Last of Us and it's gonna be great. edit: Ray Wise showing up mysteriously at the same time as the Twin Peaks reboot is fantastic timing.

Nick Rivers posted:Someone in the av club comments pointed out that Yuri Gurka is the name of the murderer the USSR interrogator accused the innocent guy of being in the first scene of the season We don't know that he was innocent. I thought the slow pan down to show that he had melting snow on his shoes was meant to establish that, in fact, he had killed that girl.
