Now Dave Foley is one of the Kids in the Hole.

Danish always came across as a bit cocky and overconfident. Which would make sense if he’s spent his career strongarming Lorraine’s opponents (presumably with a very good success rate). I didn’t find it hard to believe that he would go to Roy after being told by Witt that Dorothy was in immediate danger.

That didn’t bother me as much as her going into the house to use the phone to call her husband. What exactly was her plan there? She’s been shown to be VERY resourceful so I figured she was gonna call for help (Indira, 911, whatever). But she goes into the hornet’s nest to call Wayne, who she knows is a lovable but…

LOL, 3/4 of all music is about shitty significant others.

This manner of idiocy isn’t genetic. There also doesn’t seem like much risk of men who harrass video game actors ever impregnating someone. 

Lots of people will proudly tell you that they haven’t read a novel since they were required to in High School.  Being ignorant is a badge of honor for way too many people.

This is what I came to say. Fargo is all about the triumph of the virtuous, of decent people not afraid to stand up to pretty monstrous chaotic bad guys. I haven’t seen season 3, so maybe that went in a different direction, but Molly? Gus? Lou? Hank? Betsy? Freaking Frances McDormand and her super supportive husband?…

Yeah I don’t understand why many people have seemed to take it as a slight that Barbie is classified as ‘adapted’ vs ‘original’.  I think it is like you said, some people are a little overly invested in the film.

I wondered about that too, how the heck is Munch supposed to get to Gator in the back of a SQUAD CAR 

I agree with you.

Has anyone else noticed that the writing on the site has rebounded a little so far this year? Not to jinx it but we are getting more thoughtful takes and I think I have seen fewer obvious typos? Pray god the AV Club is coming back, we could use it, and now that people don’t trust Rolling Stone anymore would be a great…

I don’t understand why this is even controversial. It’s an adaptation of something that already existed before Gerwig sat down to write it. She used several characters that previously existed she did not create. It’s an adaptation.

Buffy excelled at this. There was plenty of filler episodes but most of them were fun little episodes that filled out characters in the show. Each non-Buffy character got at least one or two episodes a season about them and we got to learn a lot about them. You can’t do that in an eight episode run and you can’t just…

It also gives us more down time to spend with the characters when not everything is high-stakes drama. It fleshed out the characters and world, and made the bigger crises matter more.

The entire episode has a bit of a cascading series of scenes in which there could be a plausible break from reality. The drifting off, the almost running off the road, nodding off at the diner, the semi hitting the Kia, etc. Any one of those moments could potentially land her in a hospital with her ex. It might be a…

Yeah, seeing as how ‘Fargo’ has already given us a UFO, the judgement of God, and a centuries old sin eater, an idyllic community of battered women using puppet justice isn’t even close to being too weird to be real.

It suddenly came to me how we know that “Linda” is dead. Roy has obsessed over Dot leaving him for years. No one leaves Roy. So why no similar obsession & search for Linda? Because he killed her long ago.

It’s Fargo, so I wasn’t thinking dream sequence at all, despite the hints.

Know him? Hell, he probably owes Kevin fourteen million and a luxury golf course.

This is an interesting point. I’m hoping Lorraine has a real “come to Jesus” moment after seeing Dot’s photos. At which point, Indira would feel ok about working for her and the two of the team up to take down both Roy and the supporting actress Emmy.
