Yes, Alyson Hannigan is wonderful.

In its good yeas, it felt genuinely fresh and innovative to me - particularly the ways it made use of its ability to go backward and forward in time to tell stories in unexpected ways, and the way it could use the effectively omniscient but still biased narration of old ted. And some of the jokes really were clever.

A lot of attention goes to the superficial "ooh, minorities!" of Sense8, which frankly isn't its strong point (because too often it veers into reinforcing tired and comforting stereotypes of the other, albeit with good intentions). [not that i'm saying there aren't good points to it too, just that it's not really all…

There's no risk in a known failure!

I would watch a Hawley series about a sexy broad and a gangster octopus. I'm also not entirely sure that's not already the plan for season 3 of Legion…

Given her miserable childhood and her father killing her mother, she might have appreciated an honest story about him - but she couldn't have allowed herself to be seen to be appreciating it!

Trump would not be in favour of grabbing any transalpine. He's a strictly cisalpine guy.
(which also fits in better with the geography/anatomy analogy, fwiw)

Yeah, but In Treatment already had a child patient (in the second season) and adolescents (first and third), so clearly Paul is arrogant enough to think he can do everything. But yeah, it would be interesting having different therapists too…

But then there was the second half…

(it wasn't actually Polonium, though. Or else he'd have been dead).

I guess guns are just so hard to find in America, that mobsters/assassins wouldn't carry them to full-frontal assault on an armed government transport unless they were 100% sure they needed to use them…

Teams of prison guards, buses full of prisoners, and at least four bystanders are brutally and obviously murdered, with a severed Ukrainian ear lying around for good measure, all the time in Fargo-land, so nobody bothers to look into that sort of thing.

No, it's just plain ludicrous.

I think my problem this season is crystalising for me. I thought it was the fact that the series can basically be summed up as "some events happen, while interesting music plays". But underlying that, I think my problem is that there's no real characters. Everyone's so one-dimensional, and most of them are so…

What's weird is that Varga is so stupid that he thought "mention to a guy casually about his friend you (sort of) murdered by poisoning him, then immediately give him mysterious chemicals to consume and assume he's fine with that" was going to work.

They can't even run some ordinary Minnestotans off the road and make it look natural? They have to actually 'execute' them?

First half, i'm enthusiastic. Second half, dear lord no. Not because of its own problem but because it's just a demonstration of everything that's not working in Fargo this year.

Yeah, that really stood out to me as bewilderingly stupid. Who the hell doesn't know about "Hilary and Tenzing"? Certainly anyone with Varga's accent is going to know about Tenzing. [although given his contrariness, maybe it's actually an Andrew Irvine joke…]. In fact of all famous first, with the possible exception…

But staging a massacre automatically means the authorities WILL look elsewhere.
Well they probably won't because on this show everyone is as stupid as the plot demands. But Varga shouldn't know that.
