You know, now that you’ve brought up Thurman Smutny, I haven’t even given any thought to what I think of his acting just because Gaetano is so bad. I only know Andrew Bird as a musician so it was surprising to me to see his name when the cast of the new Fargo season was revealed. I’m curious how Noah Hawley even…

Yeah it was strange seeing Doctor go in there alone since we’d seen him have a bunch of his guys sitting around the diner in past meetings with Ebal. I had a feeling that when Ebal was sent on a “business trip” to NY by Josto the week before, that Ebal not being around meant something bad would happen. Unfortunately…

If it’s meant to be one of those “the audience decides” things (like whether the spinning top topples in Inception), then I choose that Elle didn’t survive. As The Dude mentioned above, that Black Mamba was in the trailer and I had always assumed that was going to be the end of her.

I feel like we haven’t gotten to know the Cannon crew outside of Loy and Doctor Senator that well, and now the latter is gone. I hope Zelmare and Swanee are the ones who end up hitting back at Gaetano and Calamita.

You’re right; she really just left her there for dead but we don’t really know what happened to her after she lost her last eye. I guess it was just such a satisfying scene that it felt like she killed her.

It really is so, so bad. I wonder if Noah Hawley realizes how awful the acting and this character is.

Too bad Mr. Wrench isn’t around this time period to mercilessly kill Calamita. I want to see his death played out painfully because he deserves it. I love a good revenge kill (like Beatrix Kiddo vs Elle Driver).

Agreed. I can’t see any American show-runners and casting directors watching his performance and saying, “I want that guy.” If he was hoping to break into English language film/TV, then this isn’t going to help him. Maybe he’ll continue to get acting roles in his native Italy.

It was cringey watching the scene when he slips on the ice and also him crazily eating the ice cream sundae. It’s like the actor watched the Heath Ledger and Joaquin Phoenix versions of the Joker and decided he was going to try to be a bad over-the-top version of them mixed together (when Gaetano moves along to the…

Gaetano is so cartoonish at this point that it is truly ridiculous and embarrassing for this show. And the fact that his dumb crony Calamita killed Doctor Senator really boils my blood. I’m gonna miss Doc; at least he got the nice Fargo music send-off. Someone called it last week saying that the Cannon crew letting…

I guess sometimes I’m not “Fargo” smart enough to get these kind of moments.

During Loy and Rabbi’s confrontation, can someone explain to me why Rabbi at one point put up his hand near Loy’s face and said, “Mommy” (at least I think it was Mommy)?

I didn’t notice the figure until someone else had pointed it out, but it was definitely spooky and unsettling.

As someone who doesn’t live in KC and never has, I also feel the setting doesn’t feel like a character as it has in past seasons. One of the things I loved about season 3 was those sweeping wide shots of a snowy “Minnesota” (Calgary served as a good stand-in).

Zelmare seemed to be unfazed by that spooky character. I assume it’s the same entity that Swanee asked Dibrell about in the last episode (about how it followed their family to KC from Mississippi).

So I guess this means no more Denis Villeneuve, who had been previously attached to it.

It’s either that or some form of a British accent that always seems to be used.

I’m looking forward to seeing how all the worlds collide once the Cannon crew finds out who actually robbed them. 

Yeah after Zero Dark Thirty I always thought, she’ll win an Oscar one day soon enough. But now, not so much. Yet she’ll still probably win one before always-a-bridesmaid Amy Adams (and straight-up snubbed for Arrival) ever does though.

And Amy Adams and Isla Fisher as the other red-headed doppleganger duo.

The way his eyes always look like they’re bugging out is too much. I’m not familiar with this actor, but is that just the way he is?
