Fargo (TV series)

yeah but malvo gave him the key to his handcuffs and killed the guard then said something like, i killed your partner if you got a problem come and find me so im assuming he'll come back in at some point but maybe not

Oh yeah, forgot about that.

I guess if he was in prison they'd have figured out what his name was and he wouldn't just be 'deaf guy' on solverson's whiteboard.

That reminded me of Kill Bill when Uma kills a little girl's mum and says she'll understand if she comes to kill her when she's grown up. They even used the same line - 'if you're raw about it'.

I'm so glad I've been watching this - it's fucking great!
It's just keeps getting better and better.
WTF is Lester going to do now?!

Lester, nasty little bastard. I suppose if you dress your wife up like Kenny from South Park then it's inevitable.

"I haven't had apple pie this good since the Garden of Eden."

Only one episode left, isn't there?
 
Yes, the finale is on Sunday. Can't fucking wait.


I hope this becomes the next meme, btw :)

I love the understated implication that Lorne is the de'il his own self. I'm sure it'll never be anything more than what we read into it, but it's right there as a possible interpretation.
 
Yes, the aforementioned Garden of Eden comment when he's at the cafe was duly noted :)

I don't want him to kill any of the good guys in the finale, but I hope he doesn't get killed or captured himself. Far too enjoyable a character despite his evilness. Lester however deserves anything that's coming to him.
 
I reckon Malvo lured Lester into getting his new wife shot to test what Lester is capable of. Why else, for such a supersmart hitman, would he have left the lamp on in the window of the shop if not to signify his presence....?

Mrs Lester never mentioned the light being on so it must have been normal.
 
Nah, Malvo knew Lester would run, and Lester knew Malvo knew. That's why he took her. Lester's a piece of work now.

I wouldn't say that's why he took her. He took her as he was trying to maintain the appearance of normality and still wanted his wife.

He saw the light was on and sent her in. Until then i don't think he was planning to sacrifice her. He didn't say anything about having done his back in until after they had parked outside the shop and he'd seen the light was on.

Whichever way he sent her in without a second thought once he knew that Malvo was in there.

What an excellent episode this was - I was gripped from beginning to end.

Ah but in the house before they left, didn't he tell her not to bother taking her big winter coat because she wouldn't need it where they were going? And he still took his.

Anyway, as said, brilliant episode. This series has been wonderful.

He also told her to leave her coat as she wouldn't need it. That could of been a simply because they were rushing or a sign of premeditation.

It's a TV show though and they had to find a way to get his wife to go into the office wearing his coat in order for her to be mistaken for him. If she had her own coat, she wouldn't have worn his: "put the hood up - I don't want your pretty little face getting cold". It was sinister! That's the moment he crossed the line.

Malvo left a message by leaving on the light - there's no way that Malvo accidentally left on the light. He knew Lester would notice and he also knew that Lester wouldn't be quite sure whether it really was a sign that Malvo was there or not. Is he there or did I leave the light on? Do I leave or do I send in the wife to check that there actually is a killer on my trail?

Not quite sure why i'm dwelling on this particular point so much but I think it's about Lester becoming just as brutal as Malvo and Malvo wanting to find that out. If it was me and my husband in the car, I would have said "something's not right - we leave now".

It's testament to how good the writing and acting has been that I'm even thinking about this!

Haven't seen it yet so won't check spoiler. Was it good?
There's nothing in the spoiler... I wouldn't want to spoil it for anyone :D

It was a decent ending but I was hoping for a bit more (I always do). I can't really say anything more without spoiling it.
