I’m not cut out for shows that move at a glacial pace. I get the director’s intention and it’s all very artsy fartsy but the thing is, I no longer watch TV without multitasking. I am so addicted to my laptop that at bare minimum, I must at the very least be playing a game of solitaire while watching anything. You can’t really do that with Fargo. Stuff can be happening for a full five minutes without any dialogue at all. This show, in the very literal sense of the word is RETARDED.
That said, I can’t quit it either. I certainly can’t recap it. So I thought I would just make a whiney post about it where we could share our thoughts on the show before the season finale next Tuesday.
Mostly, I have questions. Is it possible to have another season of this? Can you believe the changes in Lester from the beginning of the season until now? Why can’t they make the show an hour long like normal people?
Okay, I have even more questions because I just went to read a recap of the last episode apparently I am still an episode behind. So I am going to go watch the last one now, and will return when I’m done hopefully to a bunch of comments that basically explain the whole season to me. Thanks in advance.
I have trouble keeping my husband caught up. I love this show with a passion. But I admit, you have to pay attention every minute. It has become a favorite…I hate the season is almost over. The movie was very, very good. Do I urge anyone who hasn’t seen
it….DO SO!!
I think if you look at Billy Bob as “God” or “Jim Henson” you will understand.
I just discovered this show last night while flipping channels. I think I like it, but I came in so late, I’m lost. I need to see it from episode 1. Hopefully, they will run a marathon. I never saw the movie.
I had to google it to get at least a little understanding of the plotline. If you do that, there’s a wikipedia link that describes the storyline to each episode. Not sure it will help you, though. It didn’t really help me much.
Stupid Lester. Stupid, stupid Lester. He was home free, had gotten away with murder (literally) but just HAD to tempt fate and Malvo one more time. Now his nice lifestyle and second wife are dead, and he’s on the run. It was pretty shitty of him to set his wife up to get shot in the head instead of himself, so he’s pretty much guilty of two murders, in my opinion. I’m almost pulling for Malvo to take Lester out at this point. That’s the beauty of Fargo, it almost makes you root for the bad guy which is wrong, but feels oh, so right.
Billy Bob Thornton would only sign on to do this 10 episode, “limited” mini-series, since it’s lowly TV and all, so I’m expecting next week to be the end of it.
WHY DO ALL THE FEMALES GET KILLED ON THIS SHOW? Dang, I was just starting to like the new wife and then he sends her in as a damn decoy. Fucker.

I hope you weren’t referring to me. I was just stating what I thought or what I wish might happen. Nobody has any actual knowledge of what is to come.
I was indeed referring to you. When you announce who is not coming back next year, that is a spoiler. Please don’t do that. Thank you in advance.

You need to watch breaking bad. All other show want to be breaking bad. I guess the movie Fargo also showed the change in a man. But there is no evidence that William H. Macy was ever mild mannered or nice.
I think the number of commercials during Fargo is insane. Half a scene and cut. I’m sure the show cocked about 40 minutes despite it being on for 1:17.
Does the female cop look weird to you? She seems like she’s not supposed to be fat. Like she’s just had a baby and needs to work it off. Or like she’s wearing prosthetic fat.
I loved Breaking Bad. Great show.
Arrggghhh!
spoilers..thanks a lot Ginger….but I guess the outcome was inevitable with that last scene in the hotel bar
Teecee,,thats why I wait and watch it online ,,,no interruptions
Cat ..you can catch up by watching the whole series online easily
Sorry, MissMew…I hate spoilers too. I tried like hell NOT to know about Celebrity Apprentice and how Brandi and Kenya did, but I still managed to find out. It is a bummer 🙁
The show time was 66 minutes. The cop is pregnant and wearing a ginourmous fake baby bump. Breaking Bad ended ages ago and is done. done. done. Get over it.

Grumpy butt!!!!!
Um this post is about the show Fargo. There are no spoilers if you are up to date. If you are not, don’t click on comment sections that are for discussing the first nine episodes. SMH.

Actually, I thought about that after the fact…lol. I was wondering if I was getting advanced episodes there for a minute.
um, i confess, I couldn’t resist reading the post and its all your d*** fault for writing such a good blog . anyways, spoiler or not, Ginger made me laugh with her comment, it was just so true … watching Fargo is like skidding on black ice….enjoy the ride but its gonna hurt at the end
.life is fragile
I love Fargo and I also loved the movie. I enjoy movies that I have to watch closely because I am on the computer and if I get one that takes me away then I knot it is a really good show.Billy Bob is excellent in his role as a killer and I am pulling for him to kill Lester and get away with it but I doubt that will happen. I can hardly wait until next week,
Imminent bloodbath. We should organize a deathpool. I think Lester lives and probably walks away clean, if not a hero. Cause it’s about surviving.
Dead guys walking: the two Hess kids, the Key and Peele FBI characters, Deaf Guy.

I wondered why Lester wanted to confront Malvo. He seemed to enjoy his new life/wife, even going to the bar to check out other women. Now his newly grown balls have shriveled into their old scared selves. I like that deputy and cop/mailman hooked up, their storyline seemed to reflect her past. And the daughter looks as if she could be deputy Solversons child. Did anybody see what happened to the supermarket king in the new year later timeline? What of the money that made it from the movie to the series, has anyone else found it? I like the FX shows but they all leave so many loose ends. Overall its a slow ride, but its worth the wait.
See you soon Lester. Bahahaha!!!!
Oh this is a good good show!! Billy Bob Thornton does a marvelous job. I find Myself rooting for Malvo every time. The elevator scene was great.
“You sure Lester! Yes or No?”
I hate to see the series end because its so good. I think Tryant is going to take it’s place. What that’ll be like, don’t know. The previews I am not impressed with.
Starz has a good show that started last week. 50 Cent’s “Power.”
I’m not watching some show about a middle-eastern tyrant. I can watch the news if I want to see that.
LOL. The previews do look like it’ll be boring.
Loving this show because it takes so many unexpected turns. Couldn’t believe it when Key and Peele showed up as FBI agents. They seem seriously ready for that last episode!
Honestly how can the writers expect us to believe that Malvo would take up dentistry in Kansas to get at the brother of a Burty Burt… another dentist presumably who is in witness protection after agreeing to testify against the mob in Chicago. For what? $100,000 bounty…maybe he a had a bigger paycheck coming from the mob as he wasn’t too worried about that but he didn’t kill the guy in witness protection ! I’m lost…I mean the trophy wife..the expensive house the BMW the fancy vinyl record sound system…that would be the best part of 1Mill! its crazy or is that the money he got from Stavros?. Then Lester becoming salesman of the year…not just Dakota but nationwide..confident successful …and then sees Malvo…is this what you want Lester? yes or no… yes…bang bang bang…that’s Burty Burt, Weezy and hellcat wife dead….
God knows how its going to end now… Lester deserves to die as his first wife did..but he shouldn’t have risked his second one knowing Malvo was after him. Malvo has to die surely… Molly has to become Chief of Police to satisfy the movie storyline, so Bob has to die too…even though he has a Somalian (Sudanese?) refugee to look after…I mean what is that all about…I just don’t get it.
Release me from this madness.
