"Most Voluptuous Posterior"

No, none actively, but I really got the impression that the matriarch wasnt too happy with Mr. Gerhardt's apparent affair, and the resultant offspring. In any case, it really never seemed like he was accepted as a real member of the Gerhardt clan.

Mmmm…while I personally think that Dodd was really the only one that deserved Hanzee's rampage, I gathered from the season that basically the entire family including the matriarch didnt treat him all that well. Nowheres near what Dodd did, of course.

I'm drawing a blank—-other than hating Dodd's treatment of him, and subsequent killing, did he actively help the K.C. mob?

What, you werent buying that Hanzee wasnt that fat bald guy from season 1?

I actually enjoy Vargas little narratives and the actor's delivery of them—-for me, he's been the best part of this season. Like you said, season 2 got away from the takedown of villains (they still got Dodd, though), but season 1, of course, ended with Malvo's demise.

I agree with the depth of the characters analysis, but maybe this season can be successful in its own way by not focusing so much on gaining empathy for the main protagonist(s). If not, I can already say that i feel for Nikki, Gloria, Winnie at the very least.

Tim Gutterson, located.

"Fargo" sure does know how to craft a villain, you have to give it that. I could listen to Varga's little stories all day long, disturbing as they may be.

Hey! Stop bringing up Officer Oscar Hunt! He was crucial I tell you, crucial!

I never got to that point, it was always Dysentery for me and my doomed family.

Chloe had quite the downfall when they closed CTU.

You need to look into adding some Doritos Locos Tacos to your diet.

Varga sells Olin Ross stereos out of the back of a van.

A for the Ray-cat alone!

Yeah, I dont get the B at all. This was an effin brilliant episode all around.

I'm also not a *huge* fan of O'Brien's "dirty sound", but he did produce every album after Ten to that point. I think Binaural was the first time Ed's drinking and smoking started really affecting his voice. To his credit, Ed seems to have adapted to his declining vocal abilities after Binaural.

Not on that album—-it sounds like he temporarily lost the ability to stay in key IMHO.

Pearl Jam stole their drummer. What kind of friend steals your drummer?

Although he came REALLY close to going splat.
