According to this, Season 3 will take place a couple years after Season 1, with some characters we know possibly returning.
Cool - thanks! Having one or both of the bully’s idiot sons be the common link between S1 and S3 would get my vote.
I know this was originally posted by “emcee2k” many moons ago. However, it seems like this opinion must surely be worthy of a fresh POV at this time. What do you all think?
Are any of them better at being criminals than the worst of them all?
Alternatively, are any of them better at being human beings than they are at being criminals? I was hoping that Charlie might have turned out to be better than his uncle. But that would just be wishful thinking. What do you think?
Events have borne out the truth. Charlie may have a good nature. However, he does seem to think that murder is an acceptable form of commerce and I’m guessing that if he ever told Noreen how he feels about her, she might just take his gun and blow his head off. After all, these people have a very unique manner of voicing their opinions. Don’t they?
Or could it have something to do with the North Dakota water? Maybe hard water might make for hard people?
Hey Zeldar,
I want to tell you that I just watched the first two epis of Justified and Damn! You were right. It was excellent. I don’t know what I could have been thinking when I tried to watch it before.
So, thank you.
I hope that I can return the favor by telling you something about Longmire
I started watching it and was immensely surprised. It turns out to be a lot more than just another cop show set out west. The plots are all interesting and tell good stories. Telling a good story is probably the most important factor in turning out a good movie or TV show.
I don’t know if people remember reading this upthread or not. But one of the actors in Longmire is the man who plays Hanzee in Fargo. His name is Zahn McClarnon and he plays Hanzee Dent in Fargo.
His IMDB page is pretty interesting in that if you met him in real life, he would seem to be pretty much unrecognizable as Hanzee. Of course, people should know that would be the case. But I guess his acting skills are so good, he transforms himself into Hanzee in Fargo and Mathais in Longmire and sinks deep into those characters.
I hope some of you will take the time to try a few episodes of Longmire. It was a big surprise to me in that it is just real excellent!
P.S. Remember Katee Sackoff? (from Battlestar Gallactica). She is the second lead character in Longmire and she is a lot of fun as well.
I’m wondering why Hank’s alien/tribal/whatever symbols were above the bar.
Have we seen them any other places?
I’m goin’ crazy down there at the lake trying to figure out what they’re for.
Not a lot of people know this, but the guy in Fargo who had the den full of symbols once played a bartender on TV.
At what point in the chronology would the Gerhardt’s house be completely empty with no one to answer the phone?
During the funeral for Otto and beltBuckle.
I had to do a google search to see what you were talking about. The symbols in the racist bar Hanzee shot up were cattle brands. It’s not unusual to see them used decoratively that way in cattle areas and the west.
We don’t actually know what Hank’s symbols were. We’ve assumed they were alien, because that’s been an element of the show this season. Were any of Hank’s symbols cattle brands? Did any of them actually match what was in the bar? If so, it could be a coincidence, it could indicate that Hank is taking ordinary symbols around him and trying to combine them in some “meaningful” way (spiritual and/or alien), it could allude to some connection between the aliens and cattle mutilation, or it could mean that Hank has a perfectly mundane hobby. Studying cattle brands isn’t as mainstream as stamp collecting, but it’s a real thing.
A lot of Hank’s symbols look exactly the same style as the ones behind the bar, so I guess they are cattle brands. Some (at Hank’s) are more stylized and look a lot more alien-y. Cattle brands would be a pretty disappointing reveal though, particularly with all the teasing UFO imagery we’ve seen so far. Betsy sure didn’t appear to be expecting it when she walked in.
After a quick re-watch of both scenes, there is one symbol above the bar that appears to match one in Hank’s den. It’s the fourth from the right behind the bar. Hank has labeled it “opposites.” Two others are similar, but they are upside down in Hank’s den. They are second and sixth behind the bar. The sixth one is labeled “tree” in Hank’s den (but, again, it’s the upside down version). The second one is also labeled but I can’t make the word out. I wouldn’t bet on any of that meaning anything.
It’s unlikely that mystery will ever be answered.
I’m assuming that Hank will be killed by the end of the season. Does anyone recall if someone has ever mentioned Molly’s grandfather being killed?
It’s fair to assume that Lou (Molly’s father) will still be alive at the end of this season. If you recall from the first season of the TV show, we see Lou when he owns and operates that coffee shop. Apparently he suffered some very serious wounds and walked with a limp. But I don’t know if it was ever made clear that happened in that terrible incident in Sioux Falls.
- No, it was never mentioned in S2.
- Agreed, although I don’t remember any reference to his wounds or seeing him limp.
- Also agreed.
I was sure he walked with a limp so I checked and Season 1 Episode 3 appears to be the first time we see the coffee shop. Around the 42:30 minute mark, you can see him walking with a bit of a limp. It’s not extreme and so I think it would be easy to miss.
In the first season, Molly mentions he got the limp when he was shot during a traffic stop of some guys who robbed a place and stole a snow plow. She says they told her at school during algebra class, so unless they jigger the years a bit, we aren’t going to see it happen.
How come I keep seeing Dodd on every page of the Dope as one of 15 celebrities that’s committed a crime?
or not.
what did everyone think? It had a Wes Anderson vibe, right down to Jude Law narrating ala Grand Budapest Hotel.
Season 2 >>>> Season 1
That was Martin Freeman, from season 1, not Jude Law.
“Are you seeing this?”
“It’s just a flying saucer, Ed. Come on, we gotta go.”
In tonight’s episode (12/7) the captions had Ohanzee several times. This would cast doubt on the IMDb version ( http://www.imdb.com/character/ch0395648/?ref_=tt_cl_t10 ) being 100% accurate.
