Can anyone tell me what Hanzee said when getting the haircut, right after Peggy said professional, you say?

Thanks in advance.

I think that was when he said something like, "I'm tired of my life."
 
The UFO thing isn't bothering me at all. Kirsten Dunst is doing a phenomenal job, as is everyone else for the most part. I'm a little nervous about seeing the Betsy scene, I'm sure we all know what's coming. And hopefully Malvo shows up in some capacity in the finale.

I am surprised there has been no alluding to Malvo. In season one, the dialogue between Lou and Malvo at the diner had a vibe that Malvo was somehow involved in the 1979 happenings. That was only a could have been.

Yeah I was thinking "the undertaker" would be a young Malvo. Nope. I still figure he'll show up at some point but who knows.
 
It has been a great season.
 
All caught up now.

Boy, has this season gone off the rails.

It was great for the first 4 or 5 episodes, when it was mostly about the couple hitting that guy, and the state troopers & local hillbilly crime family playing catchup.

It has since turned to shit, as it tries to be more & more stylized each episode, and has spun into a mess of post-modernesque wannabe Pulp Fiction bullshit.

Milligan is a completely useless and ridiculous character. The voiceover guiding us through the action nonsense of the last episode, was also silly. The twin shotgun brothers, retarded.

It's crazy to me how True Detective season 2 was largely panned, while this is hailed as some kind of high art. TDS2 was way more nuanced, intricate, and made a fuckload of a lot more sense than this crap. It just required a greater attention span.

Ah well. I know my opinion won't be a popular one here, but I think this season started out a lot stronger than it has ended up these last 3 episodes or so.

Still some great performances, from the lead state trooper guy from Bone Tomahawk, to Fatt Damon, to dead Dodd, to Ted Danson. Just wish the writers and directors hadn't consumed themselves with trying to be so hip, and just told a goddamn cohesive story. Season 1 was the the shit, with Billy Bob, Nygaard, the preggo sheriffe, and scared Hanks. This season pales in comparison imho.

The best moment of the Fargo series so far for me, likely ever, was Billy Bob towards the end of the first season, after he changed his identity, when drunk Nygaard was calling him out in front of his marks in the elevator, and Billy Bob finally just looks at him: "Is this what you want? Is this really what you want?" ... GOOOOSEBUUUUMPS

That was one of the most awesomest moments of anything ever
 
Yeah, that was a really great scene. I (sort of) understand why Lester did what he did but it was still incredibly stupid on his part confronting Malvo like that.

He was just being a drunken idiot. A bad luck guy finally gets on a streak, and doesn't know how to handle it. Couldn't settle for winning. Classic hubris, great shit for storytelling. Billy Bob was such a perfect chaos maker that season.
