Season 2 may have been the best thing I've ever seen on TV. Really looking forward to season 3.

Looking forward to it, thought the first 2 seasons were really well done.

They have a hell of a body count to top from Season 2

I'm looking for a new series and never thought of Fargo.

I had missed out on most of the good series over the years, never watched t.v. Then I had some time so starting watching a few and completed (some are still going),

  • Breaking Bad
  • The Walking Dead
  • Homeland
  • House of Cards (watching now)
  • The Sopranos
  • The Wire

I didn't know what is next so I'll check out Fargo.

I don't think you'll regret it - Fargo has become my favorite series; season two has some admittedly odd plot elements (spoiler alert: aliens!!!), but the cast was absolutely fantastic - some of the best acting I've seen anywhere. Really good stuff.

To be completely accurate, they only showed a UFO = some odd lights

Coulda just been a test aircraft from Minot or something?

True, no actual aliens are ever shown :)

I don't recall if the show writers ever acknowledged this as a fact, but it's widely believed that the motivation behind that whole UFO plot element stemmed from a real-life occurrence back in '79 involving a cop here in Minnesota.

Link to an article about the connection

The disclaimer at the beginning always says "This is a true story. At the request of the survivors, the names have been changed. Out of respect for the dead, the rest has been told exactly as it occurred."

Or something like that

Solid start to season 3, can't wait for the next episode. We even got to see Scott Pilgrim's girlfriend's butt.

Don't forget that in Season 1 Episode1 of True Detective we got to see pretty much all of Percy Jackson's GF

I loved the quote at the end of the opening scene, "We're not here for a story. We're here for the truth."

It is my experience that "Stussy" is a name/brand about as far removed from Minnesota as California is

Looks good, but I totally missed season 2. I'm guessing each season stands entirely on its own? So no problem watching the live episodes now while I binge the 2nd season? Thanks for the heads up, have to check some of the other FX lineup, they seem to always have a few good shows going all the time..

Yes, each season stands on its own. That stated, there's usually something that binds the season to a previous season or the movie. The first season was set in 2006 and had something that tied it with the movie. Season 2 was set in 1979 and tied to season 1. Season 3 is set in 2010 but the connection to previous seasons or the movie hasn't been established yet.

Season 2 is the prequel - of sorts - to Season 1

I'm thinking Professor Lupin works for the Fargo Mob somehow. Not sure who is running it now, since Malvo took them all out in Season 1 [2006]

Is this Bloody Tampon Week?

Wife and I were out for a walk earlier this week & on the sidewalk was, whadoyaknow. Never saw that before (on a sidewalk).

Watched this week's show and in the drawer was, whadoyaknow. Never saw that before (on TV).

We rented the movie Don't Breathe this week, & in it were a couple things we'd never seen in a (Hollywood) movie before. And don't care to see again.

It's been a weird week.

"That DVR is a lifesaver, dontcha know"

Speaking of; even though this season is set in 2010, there are still some mid-90s technology quirks people are having issues with [the Sheriff is still using file folders & teletype? The computers are hardwired to each other "vermin ate my cord"]

I mean, 2010 wasn't that long ago ... there were smart phones & WiFi by then, right?

Wonkiness & aversion with respect to technology in general seems to be an underlying theme in this season, especially with Gloria.

It'll be interesting to see where they go with all that, especially with her step-father being a rock-star sci-fi writer in his previous life.
