This theory connecting The Big Lebowski's creation to Fargo is *aces*, but I'm not sure who the Jesus is supposed to be. One of the hookers Marge meets?

Yeah, I think that's a great approach. As we saw with Lost, and with the reaction here to that Fargo breakdown, some people will hate it no matter what. You have to admire Fargo, though, for doing it in such a way that it's not obtrusive to a standard watching at all.

I urge you to read the rest of the blog and his reddit history. It's very clear when considering all the evidence. This makes his overall interpretation a lot more palatable: https://www.reddit.com/r/Fa…

Personally, I see it the same way as Fargo season one vs Fargo the movie for example. It's not insulting to the show to point out that Molly is inspired by Marge and and Lester by Jerry. I think that's the point to be gleaned. As for Karl, the major event in his arc happens when he's notably drunk, and the conclusion…

Oh, come on. The Blumquists as Didi and Gogo is soooooo obvious…. episode 8 makes it particularly so with their own Pozzo. Or Karl and Rhinoceros—you think that's a coincidence that the character and the central figure of the play are defined by their drinking habits? Whatever.

No offense given, but you might want to read up yourself. The user's posted breakdowns elsewhere too, and it's pretty clear that the parallels between the characters are intentional (Ed's father, according to the fake book in episode nine, is a shoe salesman for instance): https://www.reddit.com/r/Fa…

Hank = alien communicator isn't a super-secret theory at all. It's in the damn show. And a lot of people commented on that Val Johnson thing, including Noah Hawley.

I mean… the guy has alien symbols in his office. Then, in a speech about how words don't adequately express complex ideas, he struggles to express why he was communicating with them. It's not like some unrelated thing.

It might be convoluted, but it's hard to write off the inclusion of The Great Brain. It's very clearly not an accident.

I wonder if The Leftovers will follow Fargo's lead and bury an explanation for its supernatural event in the densest way imaginable (Fargo spoilers here for the uninitiated: http://fargoboi.tumblr.com/…

She's not saying she was hacked, AV Club made that leap for some inexplicable reason. There's no reason to think that wasn't her and she simply deleted them for whatever reason of her own.

I don't know, I think it's pretty damn naive to consider this an accident. It's consistent across all characters and engrained in the fabric of the source material.

In the DVD bonus features, Hawley had some quote like, "all I'll say about Patrick Wilson is he's the only guy who can wear a maroon uniform for 10 hours and you still think he's handsome." He knows.

It's not like the show's based on a movie that tells an elaborate Paul Bunyan/Babe the Blue Ox metaphor or anything.

This should be good. Pairs are pretty damn huge in Fargo. As in, bigger than you could imagine. This guy figured it out: http://fargoboi.tumblr.com/…

It wasn't original, it was Beckett, Kafka, and Camus. But arranged in an impressive way for sure.

Speaking of Fargo, anyone seen this? Not sure where this guy came from but looks like he solved the show's color code?

It's actually a fallacious comparison because the rules of football allow a game to end in a tie.

This article is incredibly dumb. How are they supposed to break the tie, if we assume another round is not an option? The most sensical option is to choose the player who was most recently leading, because whoever was catching up clearly didn't do enough. It's fairly common to all competitions that a challenger must…
