SpaceChampion Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 (edited) Fargo usually has threads for each season, so I started this... I just want to say I never heard of a tv series called Blue Bloods before, and was mildly surprised to see it's been going on 14 years.

The only reason I’m aware of it is because Steven Schirripa constantly brought it up on the Talking Sopranos podcast. Guess he’s a regular on it. As for the new season of Fargo, like I mentioned in the watching thread, I was pretty into the first couple episodes. Hopefully this one is a return to form (like 1 & 2) after a couple middling seasons. SpaceChampion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the newly-minted Sky Atlantic advertising Blue Bloods a lot because I think it was the only other new show apart from Game of Thrones they were airing on it in 2011. Everything else was older HBO repeats (fortunately that gets you quite far). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsay B. Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 This season had a really strong opening episode and a solid second one. Also hoping for a return to form as I didn’t even finish s4 out of sheer boredom. Loved the scene between Lorraine and Dot at the kitchen table. Great acting by both when Dot goes into her “listen bitch” bit. Lorraine straightened up and lost the control for a quick second, and didn’t like it obviously. Good shit.

Zorral Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 It's also the only season extensively set in North Dakota -- though Minnesota is equally the locale. (I always had so much trouble with the original Coen Fargo as 'Fargo' since it was almost entirely in Minnesota, and barely cross the state line to West Fargo. Yes, I know the place, o do I know the place.) The Hamm character and his minions are way way way too much like actual, contemporary Nodaks running things. Particularly in their attitudes about women. There's a state house legislator for instance, who has been reprimanded several times for the personal shyte he's hurled at a pregnant co-legislator, whose personal history outside the house is utterly horrific. But, yes, only reprimanded, told to be polite, but not censored, not expelled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iskaral Pust Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 I’m excited for this despite DNFing a boring S4. But since this is a spoiler thread I’ll have to steer clear until I’ve caught up to all available episodes. If the episodes are dropped weekly, I may hold off on watching until they’re all available and I can binge over a couple of weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramsay B. Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 That music playing when Ole Munch was laying down was driving me crazy for a little bit. Thought it was from Poltergeist at first, then got it right on my second guess, The Shining. Anyways, a weird episode but I liked it. Great horror vibes throughout. Is Munch really 500 years old, or is it an ancestor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zorral Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 (edited) There are troubles with this show. Among them, the 3rd episode has the Bads driving from the general area around Bismark ND, in Burleigh County, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burleigh_County,_North_Dakota#/media/File:Map_of_North_Dakota_highlighting_Burleigh_County.svg to Scandia, a suburban community of Minnesota’s Twin Cities. Quote “Scandia is a city in Washington County, Minnesota, United States. The population was 3,984 at the 2020 census.[3] Scandia is 25 miles northeast of Saint Paul, Minnesota.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scandia,_Minnesota#/media/File:City_of_Scandia,_Washington_County,_Minnesota,_USA.svg They start in the afternoon on Halloween and are in suburbia by Treat or Treat time. This. Is. Not. Possible, as anyone knows. The writers share the concept of time and space as those who wrote Vikings.

Iskaral Pust Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Very good so far, but now not enjoying the long wait for new episodes. I should have been patient so I could binge the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sifth Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 I love this show so much. It's so refreshing how it reinvents itself every season. Munch is immortal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorral Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 (edited) Naming a sin eater Munch seems geared particularly to a 9-year old sensibility. Munch does greatly resemble Lurch from The Addams Family tv series, one of our favorite after school re--run programs to watch when it was winter and too cold to go outside. A lotta tone conflict going on! Edited December 5, 2023 by Zorral Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveSumm Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Is that a popular opinion that Season 4 was boring? I thought it was great. I’ve loved all of them, probably Season 3 the weakest for me. It is crazy that a show can be a largely plausible, present day non-fantasy story and yet still have the audience asking “is that guy 500 years old?” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
