Or perhaps it’s about kicking him out of the house? Hopefully he was just over to hang out for the day.
FARGO: anyone catch the new episode?

Well, I was high as F watching and didn’t realize that until your post. I tend to go back and rewatch series for all the stuff I miss while high. But then I’m usually high the second time through too.
I didn't mind it either. Gave good insight on what she went through
I did not like Jennifer Jason Leigh at the beginning but ended up really liking her character. Ole Munch needs a spin-off. Hamm and Temple were fantastic. This rivals the first two seasons IMO
I can't put my finger on why I hate JJL's accent in this season. It just feels so... out of place.
I will cave tonight. Deciding between one month with or without commercials. I'll probably go with commercials to draw out the finale a little longer.
Makes sense. In an interview the director also stated she wanted to make a way to have Dot face her trauma of being a domestic abuse survivor as a minor without traumatizing the audience itself.
It must be based off some real life vampire like Betsy DeVos or Phyllis Schlafly.
Some of the characters arcs were really cool this season. In the end it was hard to not feel bad for Gator even though he deserved what he got, he was his father's creation. The mother in law "debt queen" arc was great too.
Watched the S5 finale last night. That last segment was SOOO good. The ending scene was perfect.
It did not disappoint. Very good season. Loved Wayne in the final scene.
My initial thoughts:
Love the way the shootout went down. Got Roy tilted, then shot, then everything happens at once.
I Knew Whitt was going to die at some point. His whole character felt created to die. He was constantly toeing the line, being a bit too apprehensive about things. He should have just shot Roy again when he had the chance, but that's not Whitt.
Roy's transition from right wing religious rancher to prison aryan brotherhood white supremacist felt weird. I know he's a piece of shit, but that just felt really out of character for him to do that. I think they should have left out the swastika tattoo.
Lorraine is a stone cold bitch and I love it. That felt very on brand for her. Glad Indira is now her head of security. They ended up being 2 unlikely characters that ended up working well together.
Also, Old Munch's scene at the end. Dot basically shut his brain down. He had no idea what to do. He tried to distance them by being fearful, but none of them were afraid. At first I hated his 500 year old supernatural curse, but it made him so interesting and complex. It was amazing to see him react to forgiveness and kindness and love when all he's ever known is pain, suffering, and sin.
A man is grafeul.

I loved munch but not sure I’d want a whole spin off. He was one of the most interesting characters but felt his main reason was to move the plot. He always kind of seemed to show up when convenient.
His metaphors and anecdotes were phenomenal. “Don’t be mad at the rock for being a boulder”
When he keeps trying to go back into his speech but then keeps getting interrupted by Scottie and Wayne getting dinner ready... so fantastic.
I really really liked his character.. you're right tho, probably not a sustainable main character but damn he was good.
Right? Like his internal code is to be stern yet well mannered. He didn’t want to interrupt or decline invitation, but wanted to get to the point of his visit.
they had him shook
I just finished the last episode of this season. Didn’t want to open this thread until it was over. So good. We really liked the KC/Chris Rock season but this was a little better. Odd in a good way. Can’t recommend it enough.
Don't be afraid of me Sheriff Tillman,,,,,The Sheriff proceeded to drop a deuce in his Levis I think 
From my poor memory, I thought the Chris rock one was the worst one. It just never really seemed to get moving and just kinda slowly moved along. I could be mistaken though as it’s been a while since it came out.
I really should try and watch them all again. I feel like I really enjoyed the first season with Billy Bob but that’s about all I remember about it, that he was in it.
He had the balls to go on about how prison order is the correct order, but then didn't expect her to **** with the order from the outside. He thought he had the upper hand in prison, until he realized he didn't.Don't be afraid of me Sheriff Tillman,,,,,The Sheriff proceeded to drop a deuce in his Levis I think
He thought that swastika neck tattoo was a get out of ass pounding free card.
Makes total sense when you understand his entire psyche is to take and maintain control.
Falling in line opportunistically within the jail with whichever group "runs" the place is exactly what he'd do.
I hate to ask, but has anyone dug into this story to see what parts were true? Or what/who the real story and real people were? I take Fargo with a grain of salt, but just curious what little pieces of the story might be based on.
Especially the biscuit that he helps make. I wonder what happened after that, any chance he will join the family?
Fargo, Season 5.2
Ole Munch is the Repo Man for Dot & Wayne's Kia dealership.
Every episode, there's a cut-to-scene in the jail of Roy getting ass-raped, and another prisoner with a pay-stub from the Kia Dealership...
Didn’t read thread. Watched season 1 a while ago- but just added Hulu again and watched season 2- which was great. Season 3 meh. How are seasons 4 and 5?
Skip season 4. Season 5 is closer to seasons 2 and 1. I did enjoy 3 as well.
Agree. I tried watching season 4 a couple times and couldn’t get past the first couple episodes. Season 5 was great like the first three.
I probably would have also if I’d stuck with it. I liked the cast and the story was initially interesting. Maybe I’ll try again at some point.
Weird. I always thought there was a thread of truth to the original and that they tried to keep that spirit alive in the series. Maybe is was duped.
I mean, some of things prob happened? Break ins, political swaying, family screwing over family, a guy living for 500 years covering himself in mud in a womans apartment, the Bundys up in Oregon taking over federal land and having a stand off with the feds.
So, prob some truth.
Season 4 has the most rewarding final scene of the entire series. I was like "HFS!!!"
