Didn't Lester run to the window, giving Malvo time to duck up the stairs and out the back...

I think the best little touch for this episode was the red blood stain on the red fish on the poster in the basement after Nygaard headbutts it. Paper Triangle posted:I haven't seen this mentioned but I'm about 90% sure he was supposed to kill that guy anyway. He acts surprised when Nygaard tells him the bully's name is Sam, both Sam and Malvo have underworld connections, and Malvo tells that guy on the phone that the job is done, but he had to take a "personal" detour. I think he kills Sam after he says this, but I assumed that Malvo saying the job is done was just a lie (he seems confident enough in his ability to kill people), and the detour was whatever happened with the guy who wound up in the trunk at the beginning. Malvo was tailing Sam Hess to the stripclub while he made that call, it could possibly have been an "It's done" as in, I'm about to finish the job, but the job was the Patton Oswalt-looking (I thought it was him at the start in the dark) guy in the boot of the car at the start. If the mods want to change the title of the thread, feel free. We don't need the date or network in there anymore.

this episode got me so pumped, told everyone at work today about this show, went and picked up the movie too which I've never seen. I don't think I've ever seen a pilot of something that hooked me like this ep did.

Rocksicles posted:Didn't Lester run to the window, giving Malvo time to duck up the stairs and out the back... He doesn't. I watched it again to be sure, he stands in place looking at the gun, digs the shell out of his pocket, and the notices the pellet wound on his hand. He then briefly half-turns to look at the cop car pull up, but still looks back between the stairs as he does. He then goes downstairs. The windows in the basement are the kind that don't open much. So I suppose its possible he either ran by Nygaard, used contortionist skills to get out the windows or hid in the basement until the cops were gone, but honestly atmospheric surrealism seems most likely to me. Okay now I've got to ask if anyone knows what the tape MARVO listens to says between "She won't stop. Day after..." and "I'm going to do it tonight. When she's sleeping." It sounds kind of like "Alison Baker" or "I was a maker" but not exactly like either.

A Pale Horse posted:Colin Hanks was on the Rich Eisen podcast about a month ago and said it was all filmed in Canada, I want to say Manitoba but I'm not 100% on that part. It looks like it was filmed almost entirely in-and-around Calgary, Alberta. In fact the first scene with Lester and Sam Hess was just about exactly here. Pretty good sausages from the place in the background. December was not a pleasant time to be here, though.

Did Billy Bob take the evidence? I remember Lester hiding it in the washing machine, and we haven't seen yet whether it was found. All he has to worry about is the clothes...the hammer he wiped clean of prints, and it's obvious the wife was killed with a blunt object anyways. When Lester woke up in the hospital, his thought sequence seemed to be "Aw jeez. Aw heck. Hey, I'm not cuffed to the bed! Aw jeez I have a shotgun wound on my hand, better hide it. Aw heck."

Just caught up with the first episode and loving it; from the "feel" of locale, the dialog and the dark humor. Glad to see it is a 10 episode run, like True Detective, so they can nail it without dragging it out and watering it down.

Decent premier. Similar vibe to the movie which is a compliment. BBT can be hit or miss but though he was right on.

I cracked up at "2-1-7 2-1-7!" *tackles child* This show's great and I'm glad there's finally one single, actually good tv show running out there until the next season of True Detective.

I don't think there's a single person watching GoT who thinks it's a serious drama. This Fargo show is great though, looking forward to seeing how the rest of the season plays out.

About the buckshot wound on Lester's hand, that is really going to hurt any alibi he may have. Sure, he could have ran downstairs in fear after getting the wound, but the wall he bashed his head into is adjacent, not front first coming down the stairs. edit: Oops, didn't mean to spoil

I'll guess we'll know next episode if the doctors noticed it or not. If not, it'll probably be a tell-tale heart sort of thing.

I would think being grazed by the shot would help him look more innocent, if anything.

Lycus posted:The problem is that it puts him upstairs and conscious at the time chief is shot. Well after being grazed he ran downstairs. I don't think time of death is such an accurate measurement they can tell whether the chief or the wife was killed first given there was only two or three minutes difference, but I could be wrong, I don't really know anything about forensics.

If the hammer is still around you could argue that it was obviously wiped for prints, so any of Nygaards was because it was his hammer and others were smudged too much to useful, his clothes on the other hand, a bit harder to lie about unless they were burnt somewhere.

The hammer and the clothes and all the evidence have disappeared into the aether because Billy Bob Thornton's character is an evil wizard/supernatural embodiment of darkness, they'll reappear later at a convenient time when he decides to gently caress with Bilbo Baggins some more.

Desht posted:I don't know. I think Marvo works far better as a more relatable, realistic psychotic than a character like Hannibal, for example, who is far more symbolic. Both share a lot of similarities, but the stories they're in support them in different ways. Marvo is just a dude who likes loving with people and murdering some. I don't necessarily read "The Devil". And I think that works for this show. Its a boring old town in Minnesota, all it needs is someone who's a little on the insane side. Depends on if the show goes more like Fargo or Barton Fink or O Brother, really. Plenty of Coen movies go into that realm, with multiple characters being actually or analogous to the devil or forces of nature.

I think my favorite meta-element of this show will be all the nerd arguments online about whether Marvo-san is an actual demon incarnate, or just a super creepy dude.
