It’s great that a season so preoccupied with evil Republicans takes place in October and November 2019. The show never mentions it expressly, but that means the jump ahead to the sunnier, more optimistic One Year Later takes place in early November 2020 — Trump losing reelection.

“Actors kept thanking a non-existent body at the Golden Globes”

Ok, but Ayo Edebri also thanked her managers’ and agents’ assistants for answering her emails in her speech so she knows who the real heroes are.

I didn’t think the Taylor Swift joke was bad.

Now that I think about it, James and Bobby Purify’s “I’m Your Puppet” could be considered potential dream fuel; Dot finds it while flipping through stations, so it’s there in the moment with her. (It’s a classic, for sure, but I can’t remember the last time I heard it over the radio.)

I had the same thought. It would have worked better if the family’s credit was right on the borderline—something where a supervisor needs to give the thumbs up or down.

I think so too. I’m wondering if Dot already knows this. And the postcard she hid in the hole represents Linda’s body in. So the grave or evidence of her murder is how Linda will help in Dot’s “real life”.

In the play Linda leaves and never comes back. Her departure is so offhand that this makes a lot of sense. 

Man, I used to write frame comparison stuff like this when I was deep into coke. Good times!

I hate “it was all a dream” when it being a dream affects the plot. It doesn’t here. It was just a different way of revealing what happened to Nadine. Narratively, it’s little different than showing her driving, then harps and a wavy transition to show that she’s remembering the past. I for one wasn’t invested in the…

Yeah, seeing as how ‘Fargo’ has already given us a UFO, the judgement of God, and a centuries old sin eater, an idyllic community of battered women using puppet justice isn’t even close to being too weird to be real.

Ever since the UFO I’ve been no longer surprised at Fargo’s little side trips, but in this case as said elsewhere, I agree that the puppet show was at least in part creative artifice so Jon Hamm didn’t have to act out beating and assaulting a teenager.

I’m sorry; all I could think of during the Puppet Show was “You’re making him weep but you, yourself, are not weeping! DON’T EVER FUCK WITH YOUR AUDIENCE.”

This episode was a trip. Remember in Memento how in one scene, Teddy’s license plate is 7IU, but in another, it’s 71U? Something like that is happening here.

I was pretty sure it was a dream, but I thought she’d wake up in a ditch, having nodded off again and run off the road.

Ken Jennings’ life story is one of those one-in-a-billion stories that would make a great movie. A humble, trivia minded computer scientist finally makes it as a contestant on his favorite tv show, Jeopardy. He almost loses the first game by not including Olympic athlete Marion Jones’ first name in Final Jeopardy.…

Looking back, it might have been easier for Bill to spell “Ray” with his blood than to find Darby’s book and open it to the relevant passage he wanted to circle.

That’s one movie adaptation that restores the gay relationship the first movie didn’t have the guts to keep. Bring on Fried Green Tomatoes!

Yeah that was gold - two targets at once!

I used to make mild fun of the folk who loved and religiously followed Downton Abbey.
