FX's FARGO Discussion Thread

funniest part of that episode was Mike saying, "Okay then" after seeing the grandma crime leader at the motel.
 
the UFO is a nod to a previous Coen brothers film called The Man Who Wasn't There.

Ah, that makes more sense lol.

Random, I really liked that water was dripping from the ufo. Just makes a weird thing even weirder.
 
In any other show, the UFO scene would be stupid. This show somehow makes it work. I don't love that element, but I'm not rolling my eyes at it either.

Great episode.
 
The UFO scene was really stupid. They should have left that out. Other then that good episode but that UFO scene kind of ruined how great this show has been. They took a strange turn that wasn't needed.

Edit: rewatching the episode again I noticed the UFO sign in the store where the Indian grabbed the owners keys. Makes a little sense now even though it's a little far out there.

Do you not remember the UFO in the very first episode? This element has been present since the start. Rye saw a UFO right before Peggy hit him. Most likely Peggy hit him because she too had been distracted by what she just saw, hence why she disregards the UFO in this episode so easily.

I remember seeing the exact same lights but I didn't think about that. Now that I'm thinking about it I completely forgot about that entire scene. I only watched that episode once but now it makes complete sense. It's still a little far out there for me but I still enjoy the show. Can't wait for the finale.
 
UFO seems to show up after human massacres. And seems to follow Peggy. Though I wonder if the UFO angle will be elaborated on in the last episode or left to ponder. Either way... really great show. After the first few episodes I didn't think this would top season one but it has in my eyes.
 
I loved the episode as a whole, but I fucking HATED the UFO stuff. I hoped they would keep it as just a subtle thing, weird lights in the sky, etc. I dont care what its a reference to, it just feels so out of place to me.
 
The narrator was asking when Hanzee decided to betray the Gerhardt and gave different possible answers. But the correct answer is when Hanzee visited the hotel and read the Self-actualization books.

And the reason why Hanzee has a hard time killing Peggy is because she is Realized, which is one step above Actualized.

Can you explain?

Remember Peggy was seeing people who aren't there, that might have something to do with aliens.
 
I knew you nerds would be focused on the UFO.

I hope they DON'T explain it whatsoever to send y'all into a frenzy.

This show is so damn good they could randomly slip Barney the Purple Dinosaur into an episode and I wouldn't care.

Also, Hanzee saw the UFO and lost 2 hours when he visited the Diner (it showed the clock in the Diner and then after Hanzee saw the UFO, he looked at his watch and 2 hours had passed).

And Molly was drawing a UFO in one episode.

And Nick Offerman's character was talking about how people have been getting abducted in an earlier episode.
 
Rye and Bear both got killed because of UFO appearances. Aliens apparently don't like Gerharts
