Ah that makes sense. Putting on an act to garner sympathy. Just wondering if OJ was actually like that after the arrest, or if Gooding is being over the top with it.

I'm not sure it's a question of miscast (Cuba Gooding Jr. is a very good and versatile actor), but I am wondering why he is playing him in this way.

Was OJ as wimpy and wish-washy as the way he is being portrayed here by Gooding?

I'm not getting why Ed keeps running away, and where he's running to. After the fire incident, he could have not ran since he killed the guy in self-defense. Doesn't he look guiltier if he runs? And in this episode, he again runs away. Why? And where is he going?

When Malvo makes believe he doesn't know Lester and then tells him to walk away, at first Lester acquiesces as he is used to doing. But this doesn't settle well with the "new" Lester. He had been bullied all his life, going way back to Hess when they were kids. But now he believes he has changed into a person with…

I'm a bit confused. What does Lester expect to gain from sending Linda to her demise? Surely he knows that Malvo would find out it's her and not Lester, and then still be after him. Also, Lester wants to bolt the country for Acapulco but his passport is in his office — how will he get that? And, did you notice how…

Lester was surprised when Molly told him that they got a call from the Las Vegas PD saying that Lester might have been a witness to the murders. Does this mean that Lorne is the one who called the police saying he was Lester?

Hmm, interesting.

Will there be an explanation for the fish shower? If not, can we suspend disbelief enough to go with it?
