"The Gift of the Magi" should secure her a nomination.

I don't think you meant to reply to me.

I know exactly what he meant. I was just using what he said to make my own point about hoping Hawley doesn't drop the ball.

Thanks for mentioning the series pitch bible. I think that was probably Ward's true intention for their relationship and that's how it was on the show until he decided to listen to what people from Tumblr want. I'm all for inclusion, but they should have used new characters, it wouldn't have been a big deal since they…

Apparently, I shouldn't have been. There are only three episodes left and last season had only ten episodes too, I remembered there being thirteen. Now everything doesn't seem as rushed as I thought it was back when Floyd found out about Ed, or when we found out that Peggy had to leave for Sioux Falls "tomorrow."

It was a motif in The Man Who Wasn't There , so it might not be much more than a reference to that. I think their existence will remain ambiguous.

It was more of a nod to Miller's Crossing, but to state the inevitable catch phrase, it can be two things.

I don't think she was being literal, in the sense that she was hinting at her relationship with Mike…because obviously she couldn't have meant it in a truly literal way.

I don't really see her as an idiot and I don't understand how she deserved what she might have got. Like you said, she never had a chance, and it's too bad her house got shot up before Floyd finished making her point because it might caused her to have a wake-up call. All she was trying to do was get rid of her dad,…

We don't know if he really would have killed Mike or not, all that mattered for that scene is that Mike thought he was going to be killed.

They weren't targeting Otto, but any Gerhardts who happened to be in the house.

Bear thought they were arresting her, but they weren't. As Lou says later, they were choosing a side in the war.

A UFO thing? He was knocked out and wasn't thinking clearly.

No, no one else noticed.

I don't think they're fully going rogue. Mike said they'd be telling their boss that the Gerhardts killed The Undertaker and his men. I thought Mike was accepting his fate to be taken out, but that need to prove himself is stronger.

But they also included Hanzee, who is still alive.

I think you mean Hawley, not Handlen. I hope Sioux Falls can live up to most of the hype. There are six episodes left!

Long live the Age of Reason!

Oh, no, not the Carpenters too!

But it doesn't seem true to the spirit of any of the Coen brothers' "dark endings"(and staying true to the spirit of their films is ultimately what I think Hawley wants to do). The innocent usually don't end up corrupted. In over their heads, sure, but vigilantes not so much.
