I like the broader cast and don’t miss the days of one or two top performers like Kristen Wiig and Will Ferrell in every sketch.

I have a performer crush on Heidi Gardner - not only because she’s pretty but because she does pissed off in a way I completely relate to. I liked her bit on weekend update but am curious why she and her mom weren’t in the cold open.

You die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the establishment - also see Bill Maher.

Ramy was fine and game for the sketches, the material just wasn’t that good. I did like the Ramadan sketch, it’s nice to see parodies of religions other than Christianity and Judaism.

Nice to see Sarah Sherman showing up more.

Hate the game, not the player.

Entertainment is about product, and products are about models. She’s a Baby Doll Face/Adult Body Jayne Mansfield/Marilyn Monroe/Goldie Hawn/Heather Locklear/Jennifer Connelly/Denise Richards/etc model, and as long as it works for her she can trade on that type.

You’re right. I’ll step back on Cloverfield and Super 8 before he tried to turn them into a universe.

“Plot” as in the JJA sense of words and images extruded as a linear sausage of characters and scenes without any composure, arc or deliberate storytelling.

Disagree to agree there, friend. Search for Abrams and Lost is in every intro. He does not deserve 100% of the blame/credit; his ersatz minion-hack Lindelof is who truly dragged that show to hell.

I was intrigued at the beginning and think the performances are good but it’s turned into Lost on Ice at this point.

Best season ever including the first. Lorne Malvo was cartoonishly capable while Ole Munch, and all of the rest of them, are flawed in so many wonderful ways it was a joy to watch.

I feel like we’ve seen someone drinking orange soda earlier but can’t remember who. Maybe Lorraine. The house he’s sitting in looks like Dot’s original house from the beginning, but that burned down so probably not it.

I think Roy leaves a weapon above the door frame...just in case.

This is a few years later than the latest chronological season (Season 3 set in 2016 world I think) and most of the participants in that season are dead (waves hand around in general motion indicating pretty much everyone), in hiding (VM Varga), or not in the area any longer (Gloria Burgle working for DHS).

I loved the little reactions - Jon Hamm on the horse when SAC said “can’t do it, slick” - you could see him resolve himself to the end. Lorraine’s reaction when Dot confirmed Danish was murdered. Dot when Dorothy actually encouraged her.

Fargo is usually a show with a lot of big broad stereotypes but this season has so…

More likely that FX standards and practices, in their byzantine world, wouldn’t allow prolonged scenes of post-eye mutiliation on camera.

I’d prefer to see Roy arrested and sent off to federal prison to spend 20 years meeting some real alpha males along the lines of Andrew Tate.

He’s a big, ruthless fish in a very small and flat pond. His killing was also up to this point that we saw either someone he had isolated like Linda or someone he could pass off in the line of duty like that wretch who beat his wife (not thar Roy shot him for that, he shot him so he could blame the wretch for the…

I’m going to hang on to the Scotty might be Roy’s child for a bit longer - Dot would say anything to Roy, and maybe throwing him off the scent of Scotty being his issue (and therefore subject to the same property rights Roy sees himself having over her) was her goal. Not likely, but still possible.

She married her father. Growing up in that culture, what were the chances she’d ever turn out differently?
