Great insight. Need a job?

I read Alan Sepinwall's review after this one - THAT is a review. It touches on Jewish history with Volkswagens, the parallel the bowling alley in The Big Lebowski, the callback to the cold open in Berlin, DJ Qualls name in the script (Golem, the name of a Jewish mud monster, and well - you know). It's not a recap,

The opening sequence was some Jason Bourne level greatness. What an episode. Not sure how your keyboard doesn't just turn into A A A A A A A A A A A like Emmit's office full of stamps.

Two Boats. Man, I ride hard for that episode.

Showing us the "other side" would have negated the mystery. For one, I'll most likely always believe that she didn't "go through". I like not knowing. (And this is coming from a guy who's spent days trying to determine what Bill Murray said to ScarJo at the end of Lost in Translation.)

It's some sort of Cossack bull whip. He's been carrying it around all season. It's what he used on Nikki's ribs.

That's a shame. Reviewing a season based on three episodes makes little sense, especially since the back half - particularly episodes 5, 6 and 7 have been classic Fargo. Give it another go.

They put a ramp in the middle of the road, I think (based on the physics of how the bus fell over). We'll likely find out next episode. I think Yuri was either trying to steer the driver toward the ramp or it was just a cool reveal cinematically.

Can you please stop commenting on these threads? Your negative attitude has ruined comment sections of multiple shows for me. For years. It's insufferable. Every time I see your avatar, I cringe. You've posted the same comment 18x; "bad writing". Thanks for the poetic and well thought out feelings. There's the door.

Yuri put a ramp on the road and forced the driver into it.

9 lives, bro.

The music has been incredible this season, from the new go-to sad song, "Ship of Fools" covered by Hawley and music director, Jeff Russo, to an incredibly niche song by an Italian artist speaking gibberish that sounds like English, to horror-inducing throat singing, etc. I ride hard for the music choices in this

I'll defend Noah Hawley's writing until he proves me wrong. And as much as I enjoy The Americans, they sleepwalked through this past season. Sure - the characters are great (I mean, except Tuan), but you can't have an entire season of grocery store fraud, digging holes and burgeoning math prodigies.

At least we have 7 days to figure out what Nikki saw in the police photo of dead Ray. *heads to reddit*

Yes.

Loved that scene. This season has elevated the stakes with an underlying horror vibe that leaves the audience wondering when the bodies are going to hit the floor. It completely subverts the expectations delivered to us in Season 2.

He reviewed the episode and didn't mention Mr. Wrench! What the shit!?
