It was when Gaetano gets out of the car and is waving his hands around to the music that I realized that he’s like a Jack Black version of a dangerous mafioso. And the instant that thought popped into my head, Gaetano eats shit on the ice.

When Winstead had her shootout at the end of season 3 with the patrolman, the use of the Fargo theme there was devastating. The subtler use here, I agree, was very effective.

Quick aside, but the guy Loy sold the guns to, Mort Kellerman, is from season 2. He’s the Fargo gangster who shot Otto Gerharts father, and in 1951, Dodd Gerhart stabs him in the head at a movie theater. Interesting tie to previous seasons. Also I think there was a quick Big Lebowski reference at the start with the…

See my comment just above. The soundtrack is on point.

I take issue with comparing it to Watchman (I don’t know the others). But, as someone sick of super his anachronistic soundtrack choices, I am appreciating the beautiful arrangements of the Fargo theme for brass and winds, and the subtle shifts in mode. Paying attention to the soundtrack and cinematography pays off -…

I did enjoy the fact that “launder” was taken literally in this sense.

On Rabbi:

There’s some further reveal coming in Rabbi’s flashback.

I thought the Dodd flashback was later in the 50s but wikipedia says it’s 1951. So the Kellerman gang might help Loy out, but they better get a move on, ‘cause bad times are coming.

I thought that was pretty obvious. Loy was saying Milligan is Irish and doesn’t fit in with the Italian crime family but Rabbi knows he would never belong with the Cannons either so he has no reason to betray Josto. For now.

Mort Kellerman’s favor won’t do Loy Cannon a lot of good. He got whacked by Dodd Gerhardt in a flashback in season 2.

Not entirely sure what to make of it, but it seems purposeful.

Haven’t done this in a while, let’s see if it works for this season of Fargo:

Haven’t seen the latest episode, but man this season has been a snore.

Well, the lesson here is: Always hire a professional to launder your money. I have a feeling Loy’s penalties are a bit harsher than the IRS.

Well, the Roulette family anyway. Thurman doesn’t look like he senses much of anything.

Yes, The way Zelmare immediately sensed the presence of the Spectre in the tub indicated that she knew exactly who was there, without needing to look around.

Some kind of curse maybe?  I remember Swanee talking about that kind of stuff last episode and Milligans father saying I curse you.  Perhaps curses and demons are a thing?

I guess that Ghost is just a known entity in the Smutney Family based on how everyone reacted to it. An annoyance who shows up to spook them every once in a while.

Its kinda surreal. I binged Bly Manor over the last two days, and the cinematography this episode reminded me a lot of Bly and Hill House. The design of the ghost was very much Flannigan like, oh and the tension was haaaaaaard. I guess that’s the supernatural thing this season. First it was god and fish. Then aliens.…
