    I considered that when I made the comment and actually thought about excising that final phrase. I left it because of how precisely Barton made himself Charlie's target: he complained to the hotel desk that his neighbor was being to noisy, and Mad Man Munt took it as a slight; from then on, Fink and his fake…

    Time and again this show has shown itself to be not just a Fargo show but instead a pastiche of the entire Coen catalogue. Granted, often times this is shown in fairly obvious winking lines and moments like the Big Lebowski references I listed downthread, but we also see more structural and thematic parallels.

    Yeah, I come to the A.V. Club, a site which specializes in posting snarky versions of stories found on other websites, for hard-hitting pop culture journalism. But I guess that's over now. Gone are the days when I could read meaty exposés telling of how they love the new Dawes album and I should too. Journalism is…

    Damn… I had him pegged as more of a Jabba the Hutt kinda guy.

    America

    I feel like Marge Simpson after Springfield bought Lyle Lanley's monorail…
