Not just from the Fargo film but from a few Cohen films, which is awesome. I actually considered Ole to be more like the Nihilists in Lebowski, but with the skills and balls to actually do something lol

Fargo - Season 3

Great seeing Jon Hamm again, he is so good in this. His son Gator is hilarious also. I'm really enjoying this season so far.

Although the flashback of Munch from medieval times or whatever was totally wtf for me, unless I am missing some Coen bros reference there. Didn't really get it.

is the understanding that present-day Munch is the same guy from the flashback?

Hard to believe that's Steve from Stranger Things. Not that I couldn't necessarily see the actor who plays Steve having range, but I'd never seen him in anything else so it's such a change.

I think it's some sort of point about where evil comes from. Weird **** for sure

Like he was eating the sins of the dead person (presumably rich) so that person could ascend to heaven or something like that??

Loving this season. Best season since the first season IMO. Juno Temple is great. Some pretty good references to the Coen Universe in Episode 5. One of my favs was when the narrator (Jason Schwartzman!) is talking about "The Tiger" and he spells it "T I G... ER" just like Glen from Raising Arizona.

The Frances McDormand character was also named "Dot" in Raising Arizona.

this season's great

only nitpick is the beatings flashback dorothy has during the puppet show seemed unnecessary and made me feel like the editors thought i was stupid

the subsequent puppet show showcased this season's versatility

praise be season 5

I think that they used the Puppet Show to distance John Hamm from having to do a scene where he sexually molests a minor. It turns a potentially TV Censor moment into a TV-MA Moment.

I was waiting for the usual "Deus ex Machina" plot device and it finally came at the end.

There was a lot of call backs from the movie in this episode.

Was there a time gap in between last episode and this episode or did I miss something

Spoiler:
Was it explained how Scotty got from the cop's car back to her dad's?
How did Dot get gas back in her car?
It all seemed a bit surrealist even at the end in the hospital, but maybe that was the point.

Guess I'll use spoilers...

Spoiler:
Regarding Scotty: The cop decided that it would be safer to drop her at grandmas where I believe she was ultimately reunited with dad.

Regarding Gas: Running out of gas was part of Dot's hallucination in the pancake moment.

That wasn't the only Raising Arizona reference, as when they were looking for Scotty her grandma said the same line as Nathan Arizona used in Raising Arizona about hers being "the one house in this state where she ain't at"

Can someone explain to me why Graves goes in there alone? Not even calling anyone. Seems very out of character.

Arrogance and ignorance. He and his boss have always been able to push everyone around, local law enforcement included. He had no clue he what he was up against.

Spoiler:
what Kurn said + witt tells him it's urgent. to me the scene where lorraine calls and he hesitates before declining suggests he's not sure if she'd sign off on trading dot for the election, so (maybe for the first time this season?) he takes matters into his own hands to do something valiant. lesson: never be valiant.

That would be consistent with his character, but I don't think he acted it that way. He seemed to be acting a bit nervous.

Yeah really good.

But, is this really based on a true story?

Seems crazy to me.

Not a fan of Fargo, I take it.

They just flashed that up there in original and all the other seasons. It's just a gimmick. "Based on a true story" is vague enough that it could apply to anything, but the movies and shows are not based on any specific real life events.

Finally all caught up. I do not agree that E8 was the best yet. Very solid, but I think a couple have been better.

Cast is superb, with the exception of Jennifer Jason Leigh. I get that she's 61 now, but she still seems too young. And whereas the rest of the cast really blends into their roles amazingly, I feel like I can't say the same about her. Like she's trying to come across as a "let them eat cake" type but instead just seems like a parody of the part she's playing.

Also, am I wrong or did we see her husband just briefly in one episode interacting with Scotttie and then playing around with toys? Maybe I missed the backstory on them, or was it not covered? If that was the sum total of his screen time, why bother having him appear at all?

I guess I'm the only one who thinks this season isn't good? It's entertaining as always but there is zero nuance with the characters. Dot is the most amazing lady ever and Roy is just cartooinshly pure evil. The political stuff is way too on the nose. Indira jumps out to me as being really poorly acted everytime she's on screen even more than Chris Rock did.

E9 was an enjoyable watch, but...
Spoiler:
it really stretched the boundaries of believability. Like Dot, after Roy had been made aware she escaped, was still able to basically go through the Tillman house and not run into anyone, other than the new Mrs. Tillman, who instead of shooting her on sight or calling out to get reinforcements like anyone in her shoes would do, basically engages her in dialogue? And LOL at the idea that Dot would be able to spend a nanosecond in the "tomb" given the state of decaying bodies in there. And I get that Munch is otherworldly, but overcoming three armed guys? Sure, I realize they were focused on the task at hand, but that seems like quite a stretch. And Munch and Gator apparently walk on foot from wherever he doled out Gator's punishment all the way to the Tillman ranch, without (a) attracting any attention, or (b) Gator freezing to death? And Roy doesn't shoot Munch on site, why exactly? Those are just the few I'm remembering off the top of my head, but I'm sure there were others.

The show still delivers, and kudos for some great performances. But more and more I find that engaging in post-viewing assessment knocks it down a few pegs.
