I'm open to your theory and would not object to the show heading in that direction. Although, I think it's unlikely and Joe is just a typical anti-hero, still interesting though.

Granted, I didn't grow up in the '80s I do appreciate the accuracy and execution of the time period.

Very true. I just imagine Henry would have also rolled his eyes a bit.

I begrudgingly agree. I will see this season through and then make my decision whether to re-up for season dos (if there is one). It's only the third episode, give it time to work out the kinks. Some scenes are clumsy, but how often is a show absolutely perfect.

I like me a bit of Black Flag, but I rolled my eye balls at the (possible) poorly executed tattoo homage. I get it, she's punk.

I agree with grade whereas last week I was staunchly opposed to such a low rating. This episode seemed to go nowhere. At this point I wouldn't even consider it set-up. The meeting between Donna and Hunt produced this reaction from me: "Oh come on, not this cliché again." I realize Donna and Gordon's marriage is a…

I bet. Cabbage is even more lackluster than lettuce. Yet, I love sauerkraut.

We didn't actually! It was worth it to see their faces though.

He's adopted Malvo's planning, but in no way is on the same level as him, but he's not and it's getting him in some deep shit.

I couldn't believe she didn't question him at all about the Las Vegas story or why he parked in the lot opposite his office (I know he mentioned something about ice), but still.

You're right. Either way I loathe him.

I like how they teased this scene in the previews for this episode.

You people clearly have more restrain than I do. I audibly said: "Aw, fuck you Lester."

Well, they were going to Acapulco, so a jacket isn't needed. The way he phrased it though made it seem much more sinister.

Malvo lives for chaos. It would have been too easy and not satisfying enough to just kill him there. He wants Lester to be paranoid as hell and make him fuck up, just to see him squirm.

You're not far off.

I think it's just called gross!

Add to that: they each walk-in on each other's boards, respectively. Now that would have been funny (in a sitcom-y way).

This mirrors the beginning of the series. Hess is killed, then Pearl with the others killed in quick succession. The bodies keep piling up, but Lester's problems don't go away. This time he can't just come up with a good alibi; Molly knows too much.

That's why I love her character so much. She finally got the credit she deserved and made Bill look like an ass.
