Fargo (FX) TV Show • Page 45

finale was pretty bad but I think I disagree on the Ebal reveal at the end there. feels like we were seeing him as the most rational/levelheaded of the Fadda crew (which is... a low bar to clear lol) but that wouldn't mean he doesn't have ambitions of his own. Rock's face when he realised he'd taken out Josto just to create an even bigger monster was great, probably the only beat I actually really liked in the whole episode

anyway... you know your season was rough when one minute of Bokeem Woodbine silently loading a gun got me more hyped than any of the actual main plot. Chekhov's Gun Zelmare was insanely predictable and pretty much pointless, Ethelrida was just a device to deliver Loy the Deux Ex Machina Ring and not an actual character like she should have been, all the buildup with Roach was for absolutely nothing

would recommend anyone who didn't like s3 rewatch it and give it another chance over watching this season once any day

 

Ethelrida was completely wasted; should have given her something more to do that last episode, than just sit in a chair and stare at the camera

 

Not a reddit guy but went snooping around just to see what others were saying. Anybody else catch the Snowman standing behind Oraetta while she looked into her own reflection before being shot? Had to go back and check it out, he’s definitely there. Still think that whole thing was a pretty needless addition to the show but kinda cool to throw him in there one last time.

 

I already said this, but they filmed an alternate ending with Milligan working in the Kansas City Mob and ending the season in a monologue but Hawley cut it.

Can’t really blame COVID, Hawley is just losing it.

 

Oh shit I read your post but misread the part where you said they actually filmed it. Jfc Hawley

 

Well with the way they've been writing this season i'm glad they didn't get a chance to ruin mike lol

 

what were we even supposed to get from this shot? was it like a generic suggestion that Ethelrida goes on to be a successful businesswoman or did it have some significance I missed?? so baffling lol

I saw it literally just before they cut away and showed her getting killed haha. was a very cool shot but I still don't understand Mr Snowman's function at all - he went from haunting the Smutneys to haunting Swanee to haunting Oraetta for no discernible reason, and he didn't.... do anything

 

also it wasn't until I read the AV Club's comment section that I realised the tall guy who shoots Josto and Oraetta was intended to be Brad Garrett's character from s2 lmao

shows how much attention I was paying or how well this season clarified its characters (or both)

 

I appreciate how prolific Hawley is. But I think between this and Lucy In The Sky sucking shit, he needs to either take a break or quit overextending himself. I think the critical success of Fargo and Legion gave him a long rope to do what he wanted creatively. But I think that’s turning to be a bad thing.

 

maybe this is a hot take but I liked Lucy In The Sky much more than this lol

 

Oh wow, yeah this completely went over my head as well. I honestly didn’t even remember that guy from any previous episodes and was curious why he suddenly had such an important role. Ebal mentioning Kansas City perked my ears up, makes sense now why he mentioned it.

 

Season 3 of Legion was pretty bad too, with maybe the dumbest villain resolution I’ve ever seen.

 

his movie is absolutely awful too. i think it’s pretty safe to say we overrated him because of three and a half good seasons of tv

 

I thought season 3 of Legion was miles better than this, even with the underwhelming ending

 

3 good seasons of TV, plus a good book.

 

I still need to read that, it’s literally been sitting on the side table next to my bed for like two years. Just keep going to other ones first

 

it's a breeze! very entertaining

 

I gotta admit, I'm struggling to finish. I stalled out with 3 episodes left a while bank and decided to finish it off yesterday. The black and white episode was... Fine, but I'm on the second to last right now and having a lot of trouble paying attention and following the show anymore, just totally not engaged anymore

'knowing it's the last one'

Has that been made public before?

 

I don't think so, I was surprised to read it

 

Bokeem Woodbine in the 80s picking up after season 2 would instantly restore my faith in this show
