TGGP!! You continue to worry about the police. Police radar in this small, hick town is almost—no, IS—laughable. Without taking each little move apart, look at what the total effect of Varga's operation as done to the Stussy Parking Lot company in it entirety. Within a short period of time, they moved in and…

Mastermind is exactly right. It's cool to watch somebody like that do his thing!

So his form of intimidation works!

To go back just a bit, I didn't say that Varga didn't give a rat's ass about the investigation itself. I was referring specifically to police authority. And as far as Varga not listening to the police description of what they've learned, he did, but cut them off because he immediately gleaned what actually occurred…

Yes, I believe Amer Horror was on FX. Don't watch anymore. Don't know about Taboo. On FX, I just watch The Americans and Fargo.

You make some good points. However, I suspect that this isn't the first time that Varga has ventured into criminal territory, yet here he is. So we can pretty safely assume he's evaded detection or at least prosecution thus far. And that's what prompted my assertion that he's proven his ability to evade law…

Varga doesn't give a rat's ass about coming under the authority of the police or anything they have to say. He has his own sources of info—recall he told Emmit in a previous episode about the feud he had with Ray and Emmit asked him how he knew. So he's not interested in the cops' incomplete story OR what his image…

Just didn't come across like that to me at all. I read several recaps, and am just now reading the R-stones one. A somewhat different take on what transpired.

That didn't shut him down. Recall he's the one who called the shots and got them to leave at his command. Her response seemed lame.

He may be evil, but definitely not stupid. If anyone tries to look him up, I guarantee you, he's covered himself in that regard.

On the basis of needing to provide a 30-day notice instead of just showing up unannounced. He was smart enough to look it up and know his rights!

YES! It's the absolute best.

That's interesting, because I felt that Varga's handling of both the IRS and police questioning situations were brilliant. He demonstrated that he cowers to no one and that he can outsmart them. He even explains the inept IRS. He is under no obligation to provide his name because he has the upper hand. He takes…

I believe you and I've also had very similar thoughts. When you stand back—way back—you can begin to see the crazy, absurdity of so much around you. Currently, the unbelievable, inconceivable election of an orange sphincter as president by Neanderthals is proof. If that doesn't convince you that intelligent life is…

You are so fucking cool—an old soul and evolved human. We are ready to come back as dolphins! There's a joy in them, because they have true empathy and love in their hearts! Here's what I leave you with: two aliens are in a saucer hovering above earth. One says to the other—do you think there's intelligent life…

Oh I know. Our species, I'm sad to say, remains in possession of a primitive brain and often it's difficult to see any evolution of consciousness. I love nature and it is so peaceful to be out in it…until man comes along and destroys the serenity of it all. But I'm being cynical, I guess. If I have to come back,…

Living with someone threatening suicide repeatedly is really horrible and is even considered abusive by Suicide Prevention experts. So you've experienced this and obviously have strong opinions about it. This is understandable, given what you've experienced. But you were perhaps dealing with someone with Borderline…

I realize, now, that you were just responding to an earlier comment. As a therapist, I'm very sensitive to criticism that is often hurled at people who attempt suicide. I've heard nurses in hospitals state very disparaging things about them as well. So I'm glad to know your heart is in the right place! Again—sorry…

I sincerely apologize.

Oh—forgot to say—I also loved Let the Mystery Be and actually miss it at the beginning. It was so perfect, as you say.
