Nice little cabin tv homage with the beetle documentary fading in and out.

The overuse of coen movie references seems to be the only real criticism of the show, but personally i dont really mind them.

the name of the show is Fargo afterall.

Been watching the show "Kingdom" about MMA, and it's been pretty damn good.

"Fargo"
[SHOW]
....wow! I usually never correctly guess what happens next, but I knew that once the law enforcement turned off the radios and went undercover they would be mistaken for KC mob members. And I correctly called Hanzee killing Floyd. What a bloodbath of an episode.

Saw on another blog that there was a theory Bear was the big boss from the first season--guess that theory is shot.

Also, i know theyve been alluding to the supernatural force in the show for awhile, but i guess i just dont get how it fits. There's a hokiness aspect to it, but since i am an unapologetic fanboy of the show, i will just go with it.

my memory is a bit hazy, so someone else may wanna comment, but back in the first season, Lou was talking to his daughter Molly about a strange occurrence he witnessed one night, so i believe this is what he was referring to.

also, i believe that the whole UFO thing was in reference to an actual reported siting around that time.

It seems to me this guy wasn't paying attention. If the complaint was what I think it's about. It also gave Peggy her best line of the season and the best line of the episode.

The only trouble I had was the narration, specifically the narrator spelling out questions I think most viewers already had about stuff like Hanzee's motivations. It was fine as a one time device, but just a little overused. Cool that it was Martin Freeman though, and I definitely don't think it jumped the shark.
