Dude, True Detective aired like, a couple months ago. I'll never understand how people have such weird ideas about television production schedules. Blame reality television and South Park, I guess.

I thought the look on Molly's face was basically post-traumatic stress disorder.

You know Fargo is a miniseries, right? 3 more episodes and this show is over forever.

Now that he's dead, did anybody else notice that Don Chumph was clearly modeled after the protagonists of Burn After Reading? Like, not just a little bit.

I'm surprised that anybody would want the show to explain Lorne Malvo. Did you want to learn why Anton Chigurh became a hitman, too? Characters like this are powerful in part because they're unknowable. His name makes me think of the name "Rolo Tomasi" from LA Confidential, or even a magical name like…

You didn't miss the point of his story, the final line was just that Malvo's friend had to shoot the dog to get it off the woman. The point of the story was that the dog took what it wanted from the woman and didn't see a moral dimension to the situation - a moral dimension that Malvo believes is completely illusory…

It's probably not his actual legal name or anything, but I don't get the feeling that it is just a disposable alias that doesn't mean anything to him, either. I think the name is part of his personal mythology, like Keyser Soze or the Joker or whatever. I also don't think the question of what his "real name" is will…

Criticisms like this are always ignored because media outlets like the A.V. Club aren't actually seeking to offer "sober assessments" from a "critical distance," so people like you are criticizing these institutions for being something that they aren't trying to be and don't want to be.

I thought Bob Odenkirk's performance in the scene made it pretty clear that he still hadn't reevaluated his position until Molly laid everything out for him. He visibly became more and more disturbed as she explained the case to him.

I really liked the scene between Molly and Bill. It made Bill a much more believable character to me; when finally confronted with obvious and overwhelming evidence of Lester's connection to the murders, he not only relented but he even seemed to finally accept that Molly is simply better at detective work than he…

Yeah, he absolutely didn't just walk off. In fact, he seemed to be reading Malvo's license plate so that he could call the cops. What was the guy supposed to do? He was a normal human being who stepped into the path of an almost supernaturally evil madman. He's a wimp because he didn't decapitate Malvo with a…

I, personally, had never murdered a dog until I watched this episode of Fargo last night; it got me thinking, so I decided to give it a try and I murdered my own dog. The experience was so thrilling that I've already murdered two more dogs today!

"Six seasons and a movie!" is actually a Community reference. The television-obsessed character Abed loved the superhero show The Cape, and when another character told him the show would only last three weeks, he responded by shouting "six seasons and a movie".

To be fair, the only thing she really knew for sure was that Gus had identified the man in custody as the same man who had been driving Lester's car on the night of the double homicide, so it was natural to explain the development in those terms.

This comment is good if you read it in a Fargo-style Minnesota accent.

I'm sure you're joking anyway, but Malvo picked up his false identity in the post office in the second episode, and remarked, "I'm a minister, apparently."

I bought all the Princess Leia action figures and still set them up next to all of my other Star Wars toys, and so, because I am a subhuman who literally lacks the basic quality of sentience, this fact seems like proof that gender issues in film don't actually exist, to me. So stop writing about this! It makes me…

Wait, so you're saying that the show needed to establish our trust in Rust and Marty, because otherwise we wouldn't have chosen to believe our eyes over their words? You probably thought your thesis was very clever because it was exactly the opposite of common sense, but then you don't shore up your argument at all,…

Maybe I don't watch enough television, but I can't name a single show that has used miscarriage as a plot device. Actually, there was that one episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm. That's all I've got.

Well, obviously the A.V. Club wasn't making a comprehensive, objective list of the worst movies of the year, but was also including their own assessment of ephemeral things like wasted potential when they compiled the list. I mean, Gangster Squad was a better movie than Man of Steel, but when you consider the…
