FTA-TV Fargo

[Percel]

Felt like I was watching Silvio taking Adriana for a drive

 

[pjcrows]

Interesting episode. Next to no focus on Ed & Peggy throughout. Ed is obviously lying re: Dodd.

Shit is going to hit the fan when Flo & Dodd find out Bear killed Dodd's daughter.

Interesting to see what will happen now with Dodd, The Indian and Ed/Peggy.

Milligan's killing of The Undertaker and his goons was ruthless.

Lying about having Dodd? Mmm don't think so.

 

[Mr Eagle]

It wasn't a major point, but Floyd now has a hint that Dodd lied to her about 'The Butcher' being a Kansas City hitman. I can see that fact rearing its head in the last episode or two...

Why not?

 

[Father Jack]

Unless he had him he wouldn't know he's missing, would he?

 

[Mr Eagle]

Unless he had him he wouldn't know he's missing, would he?

Maybe Hanzee or Dodd have Peggy hostage somehow and are forcing Ed to draw Milligan out...

[rumply]

Maybe The Butcher of Luverne really is The Butcher of Luverne...

How does Ed have Milligan's phone number? Unless I've forgotten they haven't had any interaction this season have they?

 

[pjcrows]

I reckon we're gonna see Peggy go full "touched" in some way.

I reckon they have Dodd and maybe one of his hitmen and their trunk. She'll screw with em and show her true side.

 

[Mr Eagle]

The Gerhardts appear to know about the Pearl Hotel being a KC base, hence why I think Dodd or Hanzee could be involved.

 

[Cruyff14]

The only reason I don't think they have Dodd is because they showed Dodd and the Blumquist household and I assumed Ed & Peggy were long gone.

"You're a shit cop... You know that, right?"

(Props to the writers for remembering to answer the Hank-Peggy question.)

Not sure if it has been mentioned here, but the "shit cop" Ben Schmidt is also in Season 1 of Fargo - he is Gus Grimly's boss.

Season 1 Quote:
Lou Solverson: You associated with Ben Schmidt? Think he's a lieutenant now.‪‎
Gus Grimly: Yes, sir. He's my boss.
Lou Solverson: Kind of a prick.
Gus Grimly: That's the one.

That threw me as well, but it was a flashback to last episode. They also had a shot of Rye before he died.

Hm. Makes sense then. I figured Dodd was alive and they just left him there.

"You're a shit cop... You know that, right?"

One of the best lines in the series

 

[JUBJUB]

So how did they get Dodd in the trunk of the car ?
Ed wasn't there,as he was in the Police station,so did Peggy get him up the stairs from the basement and in the trunk by herself ?

pointed a gun at him and asked him to walk, sharpish?

Ed wasn't there at the time of the cattle prodding, but he did 'escape' that night and may have turned up within a shortish period of time, around an hour

He did? I saw him pointing a gun but heard no shot and saw no blood (although it was stormy at my place and the power had gone off so I may have missed it)

no they definitely cut away without a shot being heard, nor could we make out her body hitting the ground from the high aerial shot ..

at the time I thought it was just a stylistic choice and he definitely would've followed through (he had a line like 'it was already decided')

.. however, if they're gonna take their Miller's Crossing tribute to it's logical conclusion, Simone could become a very very awkward loose end for the Gerhardts and particularly Bear ..

I'd lean toward her being dead, but there was enough ambiguity for either eventuality to have played out ...

edit: btw, anyone who has never seen Millers Crossing, and isn't aware of the Bernie Bernbaum/Tom Reagan walk into the woods, it is a stone cold classic scene on it's own, and the rippling consequences made for both an excellent movie and some more brilliant scenes which directly relate to that initial fateful walk (trying not to spoil a 25 year old movie, which may be being a tad over-cautious!)

 

[Cursed Cat]

What was with all the symbols in the study? I presume that was Ted Danson's study?

yup, Danson's study - kinda tying in some of the loose UFO stuff, from what I could tell ... someone more astute than me speculated that his character may be looking for an answer/cure to Betsy's cancer via the symbols ..

 

[djrossie16]

man the actor playing mike milligan is doing some great things. brilliant stuff

 

[Mayestro]

I thought it might have been a Zodiac killer reference- ie a hobbie since his wife had died?

 

[Hamingja]

Why not?

Did everyone else not see the preview for next week?

Spoiler

They showed Dodd tied up in a room with Peggy and Ed there. You have to think it will end up a race between the Indian tracking them down and Milligan getting to them

 

[Cursed Cat]

for sure .. it was odd that Betsy had such a strong reaction (I know probably cancer-related) at that very moment.

actually just watched something on the 'net where someone had freeze-framed some of the shots, the words 'sick' 'dead' and 'family' where among them, so I'll stick with my (stolen) interpretation at this point - could've meant anything though ... it was a weirdly staged scene, the way it was shot I half-expected one of the Gerhardts or KC City crew to be laying in wait ...
