Baitac Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 Wow. Lester. That's two wives you've murdered. I am wondering if this show lacks enough of a connection with the viewers. I don't know that we can relate to many characters. I'm not sure if Molly has been fleshed out enough for us. The murders and twists, and lack of morals are all good as long as we can relate to someone, hero or antihero. So maybe then, the show is awesome and all, but missing a little bit of heart/relatability somewhere? I just remember the True Detective discussions. Those characters had us in the palms of their hands, perfect or imperfect. We created whole back stories for them. Anyway, I think it's been awesome quirky, but the show didn't quite grab me as much as others have. SSW was awesomness though!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Iceman of the North Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 It gets better! Take closer look at the scene when Lester prints the plane ticket to Acapulco. The son of a bitch bought single one-way ticket for a single person. He never planned to take her with him, and I can't think of a way he could've ditched her. To me, that means that even of Malvo hadn't been at the office, Lester was still planing to murder Linda on the way to the airport. I noticed that on the first watch and thought it was a bit weird at the time, but by the time it was Bye-Bye-Linda, I had forgotten all about it.

Fragile Bird Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I saw the ticket too, but I simply thought he was printing out two tickets...but I suspect he only purchased one. On the other hand, I did not catch the fact it was one way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch-MaesterPhilip Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 So was Malvo a dentist by trade before becoming a hit man? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fragile Bird Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I wondered about that. He looked like he knew what he was doing. Either that, or he learns fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nictarion Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Wasn't his patient complaining about severe pain? I took it that he didn't really know what he was doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fragile Bird Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Yes, but I thought that was because, you know, he had a tooth ache. Didn't Malvo say he'd been there for six months? Wouldn't he have already gotten the boot if he didn't know what he was doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps he just researched the basics or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deleted01 Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 I need to stop reading this thread before the episode airs on Sunday evenings. I forgot you guys across the pond get it earlier than we do :laugh: Still though, excited for the ep tonight. Do we get two more after this, or is this the penultimate episode?

Fragile Bird Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Ok. Questions. What was the purpose of the rabbit/fox/cabbage story? What was the purpose of the throw-the-second-glove-on-the-platform story? I guess Malvo isn't coming back.... Nor Lester. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commodore Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Fargo > True Detective This show is refreshingly black hat/white hat.A few questions:1) Why was Hanks not in trouble for killing Billy Bob?2) What was the point of the story she told Lester in the interrogation room?3) What was the riddle Billy Bob told Hanks? I forgot it. oh, Keith Carradine rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fragile Bird Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 The riddle Malvo asked Gus was did he know why the human eye could see more shades of green than any other colour. Molly knows, it's so we could spot predators. ETA: And the story of the glove, I guess, is about two different kinds of people, the first are people who would try to make the best of things and leave a pair of gloves for someone else on the platform, and the second kind who would keep the orphan glove and be angry and curse the world for the dropped mate.

Nictarion Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Fargo > True Detective1) Why was Hanks not in trouble for killing Billy Bob?Tbh I don't know that I can disagree. This show was absolutely brilliant. At the very least on par with TD.Not only that but he was awarded for bravery. I was left scratching my head a bit on that. Surely a citizen can't just enter a residence and shoot an unarmed man without repercussions right? Let alone being commended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzureOwl Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 1) Why was Hanks not in trouble for killing Billy Bob? Not only that but he was awarded for bravery. I was left scratching my head a bit on that. Surely a citizen can't just enter a residence and shoot an unarmed man without repercussions right? Let alone being commended. Malvo still had the nasty looking knife he used to cut his pants lying next to him. Gus could easily claim that Malvo made a move for it. Also to be considered, Malvo had just killed half a dozen people in less than a week, including two FBI agents. Few people are going to question the reasonableness of emptying his revolver on Malvo as soon as he made a move. And finally, the person that issued the commendation was probably Chief Bill, not the brightest candle in the bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixodes Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 It was quite silly that Gus didn't call in Malvo when he saw the cabin (that decision got Key and Peele murdered) but I have to admit I thought it was pretty awesome when he plugged Malvo. When he started talking with Malvo, I figured the worse. But he surprised me by being pretty quick to execute him, which told me that was Gus' way of f'ing with Malvo. Or at least not letting Malvo get the last word in their interactions. I could maybe see Gus not getting charged in Malvo's shooting but a commendation? That was pushing it. Doesn't matter. I thought it was a great show with some really top notch performances. Another example of cable networks far exceeding the stuff the networks are putting out there.
