Fargo (TV series)

I thought that was a great episode. A bit slower and less violent than last weeks but stronger for it. Only thing I didn't get was the end.
Why was it such a big deal for Lester seeing Malvo at the end? I know its obviously a big thing seeing the guy who shot a cop in your house but was that alone worth the dramatic music and Lester's reaction? Malvo would of killed Lester long ago if he had wanted to. What reason, if he needs one, would he have for killing Lester now? Did he know Lester planned to shoot him and fit him up? If so why is Lester alive? Does he somehow know Lester put the hitmen on to him? If so why is Lester alive? Is it just the unpredictable nature of the character? Some parallel to what happened with the deaf hitman?

I don't know logically why it was so scary and sinister that he was there, but it was.
I was waiting for him to turn around, and if he had I may well have pooed myself.

Possibly something about him knowing the truth about a Lester. A truth he can do little with without implicating himself. Is the stuff with Lester anymore memorable to him than the stuff with the guy pissing in the fuel tank?
 
Martin Freeman has more range than I gave him credit for. His Doctor Watson, Bilbo Baggins and Arthur Dent (has anyone else ever landed such a trilogy of cult roles? I doubt it) were all basically the same character, but Lester is something entirely different. Native Minnesotans may disagree, but I reckon he's nailed the accent as well.
 
It was clever of them to have him send his poor new wife upstairs while he went to try and shag random women. Because just for a minute I was rather starting to like his new self.

I loved him as Tim from The Office.;)
 
I did find the last episode too slow tbh. The series could have perhaps been better produced as a six-parter. Still enjoying it though.
 
Also, Lorne Malvo as played by BBT might be my favourite character in anything ever.
 
That was a year ago and in De Luth (or whatever the place is called) to boot.

Duluth.

I'm really enjoying this, but as someone else pointed out, is Lorne Malvo not a bit Anton Chigurh - the killer from No Country for Old Men?

You kind of nailed it - your spoiler is exactly what Lester is thinking ;)

It wasn't a year ago when it happened. And Molly was involved in the case, she shot the hitman in the first place. If he had escaped surely she should have been alerted.

Yes, but much, much better. Funnier, dryer, scarier.

A Magnificent Bastard indeed, to use the trope name. The most magnificent of the Magnificent.
 
Jemma "Aww, that's so sweet! I am gonna stick my whole thumb up your ass later"
Malvo "Aces!"

I died laughing.

I just watched it now and felt exactly the same. :)
 
theyre making it really easy to dislike lester, was thinking they were going the heisenberg route at first with the new lester but hes completely despicable as you can see at the end of 9

oh and what happened to the supermarket guy? did i miss something or was the raining fish scene the last time he was on screen or mentioned?
the deaf hitman too has vanished, maybe all these people effected by Malvo just arent that important to the main plot but id like to see some of these loose ends tied up next week

The deaf guy shot at a copper with an assault rifle. I'm guessing he's in prison.
