Anybody got any last minute predictions? Finale starts in less than an hour!
This has been one of the best threads of its type that I have seen or participated in. Thanks to all involved! 
Along with the KC troops killed in the woods, there was the corrupt official (with the bow and arrow), and the Kitchens (if not other KC guys) killed several Gerhardt troops before meeting Hanzee.
Get the popcorn ready. I’m hoping this episode delivers on a great season.
Hanzee’s coming!
Better hide your heart. Really.
ETA: and now I have to go dark, because it doesn’t start for me for three more hours.
Well everyone, you finally got your answer about Simone.
Acceptable finale. Looks like we could see more of Hanzee. Only in a new face?
Not bad, got some closure but still leaves a lot of threads dangling that can be woven for next season.
Did Peggy just have a break from reality in the grocery store as she realized Ed wasn’t going to make it? Or was she thrown that Ed had actualized, too, and knew that long term wasn’t going to be with Peggy even if he lived?
Ben(jamin) showed he wasn’t entirely gutless. He was right there with Lou to go up against Hanzee. Going up against a guy with that is armed with an AR-15 and all you have is what looked like a little .38 pistol is pretty ballsy.
Did Hanzee kill a couple of kids there at the end or just cut them a little. And who was he working for?
The UFO thing still doesn’t make any sense to the plot.
Mike Milligan has received a dispiriting but valuable lesson. Style doesn’t count. Only the numbers do.

I also think this was a comment about the upcoming decade, the 1980’s. The real “ME” Decade, when making money and profit became most important over anything else. (and a nice little bit about the western clothes, kind of a “no, this isn’t the wide open, wild west anymore. It’s all suit, ties and profit”)
I thought it somewhat anticlimactic but maybe that’s what they were going for, the quiet after the storm. It left me a little unsatisfied though.
I’ll guess he killed them. Which is pretty mean, considering they were already getting their asses kicked by the bigger kids.
How do experienced gunners feel about a single shot, whose recoil didn’t seem like much, lifting a guy completely off his feet and throwing him backwards at about 30 mph?
Also, am I the only one who was hoping that Ed wasn’t just unconscious with a weak pulse from shock? Because everybody seemed to take the word of the “shit cop” that Ed was dead, based on him putting his fingers on Ed’s neck for a couple of seconds, and they may have let him bleed to death when he could have been saved.
A couple of things:
Molly’s voiceover at the beginning about her dream was obviously a nod to the end of “Raising Arizona”. Nice touch.
The two kids signing to each other on the ball field while Hanzee was meeting with the guy giving him a new identity - I assume they grew up to be the hit men we saw in S1?
nitpick - that was Betsy’s voice - not Molly.
Good catch on the deaf kids.
Overall a good finale - We got a definitive answer on Simone - a new ‘mystery’ with Hanzee - everybody lived that I wasnted to see live (except Ed). I loved Milligans introdcution to Middle Management and TPS reports.
I thought season 3 was going to be post season 1 ? (thats confusing enough to try and explain to people.
The movie was first, the first season was after the movie, the second season was before the movie- third season is in the future.
Do we know for sure that the third season was the future?
I agree that that was an excellent catch with the deaf kids.
One obscure thing that I noticed was that Noreen was reading a book called The Legend of Sisyphus. Then Lou had the speech about pushing the rock.
Also how the symbols in the bed room were totally innocuous. And Lou’s limp was just sciatica.
THats what the early reports are saying -
[QUOTE=Everything We Know About 'Fargo' Season 3 on FX]
The main result of the show’s format is that we have very little idea of what Hawley is planning for next season. He made a few choice comments last week, specifying that the show will return to the present day: “It’s more contemporary … set a couple years after Season 1.”

I must have missed that completely, still have it on dvr though. Anyone care to give me a hint?
They showed all of the dead Gerharts in the opening montage and she was one of them.
As much as I loved this show, I wasn’t very impressed with the finale. “Anticlimactic” (as aldiboronti said) is a good word.
I DID enjoy Peggy’s ride in the prowler, and her conversation with Lou. That was quietly understated, but also drove home just how selfish Peggy was (and I think finally helped her realize it).
I completely missed the deaf kids possibly being the hit men from S1. So by the same token, is it possible Hanzee became Malvo?
Even if he doesn’t, I love that idea! Hanzee is just too cool not to be seen again.
