I hope more people watch this, that last episode was utterly brilliant.
It's not over yet (and I may be judging it by it's recency), but this has been, so far, the greatest single season of TV that I think I've watched, everything has been of the highest level.

Peggy casually stabbing Dodd in the chest because he kept being disrespectful, then feeding him beans, followed by his pleading looks to Ed were so darkly hilarious I had to watch them again 
"Hun, ya gotta stop stabbing him"

No I'm pretty sure that was 8ball...

Sioux Falls something.
No in Ted Dansons house. Alien stuff.

Half the point of this Fargo franchise is the... well, quirkiness... ya?Episode 9 was fantastic until...., well,....

I don't know - Twin Peaks nearly let the aliens push its quirkiness over the edge into full-on novelty spinning bow tie wackiness. I quite like the way it's rumbling along in the background, but if the big finale depends on it too heavily I won't be happy.
But as that hasn't happened yet... S2 took a while to grow on me but I think it's outclassed the first season now, and possibly drawn level with the film. The last two episodes have been outstanding. Kirsten Dunst is the best thing on TV.

It was a high risk move actually going full on with the aliens, glad they didn't shirk it after all the hints.
And Peggy's reaction was just brilliant
I liked them getting Martin Freeman back for the narration, it was another little storytelling quirk in a show that's been full of them.
Can't wait for the final episode, best show on TV hands down (and I actually prefer both seasons of the show to the film, good as it was).
Milligan, Hanzee, Peggy - they've almost made me forget Billy Bob's bravura performance, no mean feat.

Can you imagine anyone saying that less than a year ago?
She's been amazing, I don't see Kirsten Dunst anymore, just Peggy

I know - I think I've only seen her in Interview with a Vampire, Eternal Sunshine... and the first Spiderman. She's not made any impression on me at all, really.
It's not only that she's become the character - she's become a character who is largely defined by a really dangerous unpredictability, so you're never certain which way she's going to go next. It can't be easy to portray that without compromising the viewer's feeling that they're watching an actual person rather than a plot-twist device.

Apologies, but I didn't realise it was being shown on normal telly, been downloading the season from the start.

Well done. You remember cat good.
I didn't even realise people still watch broadcast TV in 2015.
Surely everyone can afford a decent laptop and broadband connection.

Well done. You remember cat good.
Surely televisions and TV licences are free of charge.

I have no idea what "season record" is (I hope you don't pay for it) and believe it or not there are circumstances whereby posters might be up-to-date quite legally and might want to discuss the current episode without having to wait for slowpokes like you to catch up.
Freesat. No payment. Records automatically the season of the show.

You surely aren't serious that you think it's okay to spoiler the show in this thread before it's even officially released in this country?

Well done. You remember cat good.
I have some form of Freesat (an old Sky box with some sort of free viewing card where most of the channels listed tell me I need to upgrade to actually watch them) but I no longer use it. I'm sure it doesn't do the recording thing, is yours a Tivo or similar hard-drive?
Thanks to technology it's a small world, people from all across it post here and there are many ways to watch shows and films. Once they've been officially* broadcast or released anywhere in the world I think it should be fine to discuss them and people who are having to wait a while for some reason should exercise caution when reading threads.
What about people who don't live in The US, don't have a means of watching online and don't have a TV licence? Should we wait for the DVD release before we can discuss it?
*I do think that people who maliciously spoiler because they've managed to see a leaked pre-release are a bit naughty.

I don't think that saying weird is spoilery enough to be a real spoiler

I agree, but others may not. We are treading on eggshells.
He's just being a dick.
