Fargo, so far so good?

[Girlsbrigadewashorrible]

Just watching it now with DH, kids gone to bed stuffed with chocolate. Anyone else enjoying this as much as I am?

[Mandy2003]

[PedantMarina]

I'm not completely ofey with faces, but I didn't even get the voice! And usually I'm good with that (Trekkie from the ST:TNG, DS9. etc era)

[DustBunnyFarmer]

I missed that the plumber was the personal trainer. Are you sure?

[KatoPotato]

Yes, completely sure! He's in cahoots with billy bob, he planted the seed of doubt about religion and then went and bought the locusts on Bb's instruction. And he has completely the same face and voice?

[DustBunnyFarmer]

Aw, shit. I've got to stop posting on MN and start paying attention to the telly. That completely passed me, though DH missed it too & he was watching properly.

[KatoPotato]

further proof!

[KatoPotato]

Also did you catch the link about the brief case to the original movie?

[slartybartfast]

was it the King who found the money.
but who put the money there? in the snow?

[KatoPotato]

In the film Steve Buschemi found out there was more money than they expected so he buried it in the snow on the roadside and stuck the ice scraper in the snow!

Then he got put in the woodchipper so never reclaimed it!

I'm indulging myself in a recap viewing of episode 4 tonight.

[Girlsbrigadewashorrible]

Episode 5 just started...

[Mandy2003]

Who was the Duluth cop having the long philosophical chat with?

[Girlsbrigadewashorrible]

That was a confusing episode.

[DustBunnyFarmer]

Mandy - His neighbour on the opposite side of the courtyard, possibly a rabbi or active in the local Jewish community.

[Mandy2003]

Was that the neighbourhood watch guy with the Mitzvah Tank who Billy Bob lectured about home security?

Lots of flashbacks tonight made it confusing tho'.

[PedantMarina]

did anybody else spot (and enjoy) that King's son was about to tell him he'd learnt that the personal trainer had been buying the crickets, but King, as usual, didn't listen.

[Mandy2003]

Oh yes

[slartybartfast]

i am enjoying this, but it is admittedly a bit slow, and its only half way there.
what can happen for the rest of the 5 episodes?

[slartybartfast]

it was funny though when our baddie was asking the personal trainer for screws and a drill and a lockable door and we just knew somethign awful would happen to the personal trainer but he had no idea, - he was just spending the million on marble.

[Girlsbrigadewashorrible]

Episode 5 had a good review in the TV guide. Let's see ...

[PootlewasthebestFlump]

It's wrong to be rooting for Billy Bob, isn't it???

[Thymeout]

No - I think God's on his side, too. There was no way he, BB, could have engineered the fish falling out of the sky and yet, there they were, bang on cue, causing the death of the firstborn.

[DustBunnyFarmer]

During the fish shower/crash, I exclaimed: "oh my God, he sent his son away for safe keeping and when he finally returns, he's killed in a freak accident. You couldn't make it up!" To which DH drily remarks: "actually, someone did." Doh! (@ myself) It was properly demented as twists go.

Speaking of twisted fucks, Lester did some properly dark stuff this week.

[PootlewasthebestFlump]

Lester is morphing into BBT. And I like it.

[Girlsbrigadewashorrible]

Thank goodness for Channel 4 OD...I have had to re-watch episode 6 as I was getting a bit confused. Best episode so far, I thought. Lester was superb. What about Molly?!! Is she dead? Are where did the fish come from?
