I'm lying awake here on the couch at midnight in the dark still sad about Minsky.

Also it's HBO, so there's a 1/2 chance you're actually paying for it.

And Ramsay's not manic he's psychopathic, but tomato/psychopatho.

I thought this was a great episode… until I realized it was the finale. The show just left too much up in the air without enough punch to make it feel actually suspenseful (reminding me of the finale for The Leftovers, S2). Great acting from Ms. Monaghan, however. I'll be back for any new episodes.

I don't get the reviewer's grades or the community's. This is the first episode of this show that I thought was any good.

Despite the derisive remarks about Jezebel, I also don't see how this was mansplaining. My wife and I share tidbits like that all the time. Sometimes the same tidbits over and over again, even though we know the other one knows it. Sometimes we tell a story we learned from the other one and forgot that the other one

Yet another (great) episodes that demonstrates that Jimmy, so far, is the least interesting character in this series. I'm so glad to see them open up Kim's character. Even the few moments with Mike on screen were compelling.

Exactly the same reason I gave it a B and last week's a B-.

Who are you? The Narrator?

I'm still shocked that Major Kong has only been to a single picnic (let alone a rodeo).

Nor is it over the top regarding other first responders. A few years ago the condo two doors down was in a blazing fire. As I was making my way out (with the only two things I cared about, my cat and my hard drive), I caught two different fire departments arguing about which one was going to go in. Just standing there

Someone has "total situational awareness."

Except fish really do fall from the sky. It happens every once in a while when a tornado or waterspout travels over a watery area and then dissipates over land. It may have symbolic value in season one, but the phenomenon itself isn't supernatural or even far-fetched.

Agreed. Love both shows. Was neck and neck for me until the Leftovers finale. I suppose the Fargo finale could really drop the ball and end up behind the Leftovers, theoretically, but it's got a long way to fall.

I've never wanted a character who should otherwise be doomed to succeed more than Peggy.

I'd rather have no hype and a huge reveal than this, but beggars can't be choosers. I think the show generally produces enough tension without needing to work to specifically build up hype.

It's not the SMS tone. The cricket noise keeps changing in that episode, including some half chirps. Plus it keeps chirping after Evie left with her phone. Plus Erika heard the chirping after she left. It would be a neat theory, but the theory doesn't survive the evidence.

Hypothetical: What if we didn't see Evie & Co. step out onto the bridge until the finale? How huge would that have been?

What a total let down. I kept waiting for something to happen. I'm still waiting. I wasn't expecting any big answers to big questions, but I was expecting some big moment, some big reveal. Nothing.

1989, Broad City and WTF don't count as pre-2015 pop culture.
