It explains why every time Oraetta encounters Ethelrida (I had to look up this name) she makes a disparaging remark about her. I can't remember doing this for any other show but I've been assigning nicknames until I learn the actual names. The crime boss is Pipsqueak, the aggressive Italian introduced in E2 is Farva, the Irish guy who shot his father is Q, Raylan, etc. e- "If a man's pud needed a tug, would this be the place for said tuggin'?" I never thought we'd get a bonus season of Justified, but here we are.

Sorry, gonna double post here... but does anyone else think it's weird that Smart Girl met Nurse Ipecac for the first time at that funeral? If they're literally across the street from each other wouldn't they have met already? Or at least seen each other.

Nurse lady’s probably new to the area what with her being a prolific serial killer who knows how to blackmail her former employers into giving her good referrals. Seems like a trait someone who has to move frequently would employ.

This is why you gotta communicate with your wife in a marriage, so you don't end up giving the mobster you're in debt to money that was stolen from him covered with clues of it's origin, it's textbook.

Watched the first couple of episodes and it hasn't really grabbed me the way early episodes did in the previous 3 seasons, but I'll probably end up watching the whole series through regardless at some point. I will say that Jessie Buckley, who I was previously unfamiliar with before S4, is my new celebrity crush ( ); and I am looking forward to seeing what Mormon Raylan Givens gets up to in the show.

Did anyone else hear what sounded like a hot overhead mic getting loud in the mix from time to time in the last episode? I'm like 20 minutes in on YouTube TV and it's driving me loving nuts

Whatever the sound is, it's intentional.....I think it's been going on in every episode. Sometimes it sounds like a car or a train going by very near by and other times it's just a rumbling. Also when Chris Rock's wife took her coat off it sounded way too loud.

Haven't watched the latest but just wanted to say that I'm very glad the "previously on" is just "antecedently" for the season and not being swapped with other thesaurus words the way Legion was. Edit: Okay watched it... sad that there was so little Death Nurse. I'm starting to feel a little bit of a lurch now that we're on ep 5 and this is as far as we've gotten but hopefully with that episode ender things pick up in the second half of the season.

So far this my favorite season since S1. S2 and S3 took a loooong time to grow on me. They were more "burn after reading" incompetence instead of Fargo earnestness. This one brings back the earnest nature.

I'm really enjoying Chris Rock, I especially liked the scene between him and Odis during the raid where he kept his cool but was still able to demonstrate his power/knowledge and just how strong his position actually is that he - a black man in the 1950s - is able to effectively talk poo poo to a cop with a gun on him. I love how it is counterparted with him blowing his stack at home with his family and having to scream and yell to get his way. Also that entire scene with Calamita trying to intimidate Doctor Senator, all I could think was that beautiful scene from earlier in the season where Senator talks about spending six weeks with Goebbels, and how the likes of Calamita and Gaetano must seem like complete jokes in comparison. Ironically, if either of them had listened to Violante they might have known that this whole gambit was going to go nowhere fast. That's another aspect I'm enjoying about this season, in a kind of quasi-Elmore Leonard way: I have always loved crime stories where characters aren't as smart as they think they are but also aren't quite as dumb as other characters think they are either. Gaetano is stupid and reckless but also very dangerous and shows that he can think or at least put on a show of restraint when necessary. Rabbi is humble and downtrodden but also seems to have a deeper game running based on survival at all costs. Josto is a weird little man with an inferiority complex but also understands when to get violent and when to take a step back or be more calculating. None of them are as clever as they think they are, but all of them have some deeper reserve of talent/intelligence/skill that others underestimate, and it makes it really fascinating when characters start bouncing off each other, especially now that the subplots are really strongly tying together after the first few introductory episodes.

I think the season finally clicked into place for me here on episode 5. I don't know why, but I think just everything came together in a way that really works for me now. Lots of little speeches about America, lots of twisty crime drama, and lots of little surprises and Oh poo poo moments. I think the huge cast and complex "machinery" of the plot just took a little bit of time to get going, but I feel like I'm finally seeing what this is season is trying to get across and I like it! Incidentally, I just finished Lovecraft Country (amazing, loved it, mama mia!) and it's 100% about race in America, using pulp horror to talk about Blackness. Fargo S4 is also very much about race in America, using comedy crime thriller to talk about it in a different way. It's been an interesting contrast.

PerilPastry posted:Oh, I think the part is perfectly well written. I just feel that Rock - for all his charisma in other settings - was cast in a role that doesn't play to his strengths and that his performance comes across as rigid and self-serious. Especially compared to the guy portraying Doctor Senator. I'm enjoying him being a straight-man. He's a bit of a highlight of the season for me. Part of it, I think, is that Chris Rock still shines through so it creates the illusion of depth beyond what is just presented. It's like that thing you'd do in elementary school where you put together two drawings to create an image that looks 3D.

I don't remember past seasons of Fargo being so Coen Brothers self-referential, aside from the actual movie Fargo, of course. Treehorn Trucking is a nice subtle nod that I don't mind, but the Outlaws straight up re-enacting Raising Arizona kind of took me out of it.

The first half of this season has really dragged for me. They spent a couple episodes too many putting the pieces in place. I hope it picks up. I really liked the first two seasons, but trailed off Season 3 after a couple episodes and didn’t get back to it. How’s that regarded? Worth finishing?

I also was starting to sour on s3 but I felt like it picked back up, and by the end, it became prob my favorite\ this one is giving me deja vu, but I would say it does seem to be taking a bit longer. I'll give Hawley the benefit of the doubt tho, he's definitely earned some goodwill

This season has just way too many characters. They really needed to consolidate a bunch of the side characters into three or four characters.Dinosaurs! posted:I really liked the first two seasons, but trailed off Season 3 after a couple episodes and didn’t get back to it.

Was Antoon Dumini (the guy who almost shot Satchel but decided against it before being killed by Rabbi Milligan in Episode 6) prominently featured in any previous episodes? I can see him in the cast list for other episodes, but didn't recognize him. I thought his story arc and performance in the most recent episode had strong elements of tragic irony, but might have hit harder if we had seen more of him earlier on.Ballz posted:I don't remember past seasons of Fargo being so Coen Brothers self-referential, aside from the actual movie Fargo, of course.
