Damn it. I was all ready to not give a crap about Fargo coming back on. Then they give me this.

The use of names in conversation has been my only consistent problem with the show. All of the characters do it, and it sticks out as poor (or at least lesser quality) writing inside what is otherwise strong dialogue.

What's all this talk of childhood?

Can we grade the reviews? Because this one was a solid D+; one or two objective observations above a Slate review.

I don't think they were shocked he was there, but that he had "the nerve" to get up and speak at his funeral.

This is one of the very few shows where I watch the credit sequence every time. I want to know if the theme is an abbreviated version of a longer piece. Because I need to have it.

Agreed. Lingering complaints about the show's pace or supposed plotlessness are not valid at this point. It's been made clear what this show is and isn't, and each episode finds new depths and angles. I thought this was an especially great episode, and the shot of Daniel reaching through the cell door to put his hand

Three things I'll fight to the death for: family, chocolate chip cookies, and the Oxford Comma.

It's an old joke, but it still gets a laugh out of me.

All of these jokes about her weight are unfair. She would be nasty and intolerable if she weighed 28 pounds.

Better register that Probable Huffington Post Headline account before someone beats you to it.

Definitely has a punch-face.

"Boring" or "stupid" are never legitimate critiques of things. However, in fairness to those people, it's hard to the point of impossible to put a finger on what's wrong with The Master.

I bit, and just whisper-shouted What the fuck!? to myself at work.

I would suggest to David Anthony that maybe you're going to the wrong concerts.

The only thing missing for me is the clear thematic element that each episode of the first season had. But the first season had it to the degree that was occasionally heavy-handed and sometimes put the plot in the backseat. I don't think there was anything wrong with these two episodes moving the story along a little
