I don’t know, but you’d think he would’ve thoroughly cleaned the grinder, especially after that particular job :eek:
Does anyone have a link to that scene (or a transcript) from season 1? I’ve been wanting to revisit it since I found out Lou Solverson was in this season.
I think all we know is
[QUOTE=Who Is Lou Solverson? 'Fargo' Season 2 Reintroduces Us To Molly's Dad & He's A Bit Different Now]
Thanks to a throwaway comment by the character in Season 1, we already know that Season 2 will be slowly working towards the infamous “Sioux Falls Massacre” that haunted Lou forever and eventually caused him to retire from detective work.
[/QUOTE]
I’ve been waiting for the massacre. Possible 1979 era Malvo involved?
I think the word “madness” may be one common link I can see. In the above link, Lou uses that word to describe what happened in 1979.
But around the 30 minute mark of Epi 3 in Season 2, Lou and some other cop (I think his name might be Ben Schmidt) went to the Gerhardts and he spoke to Floyd saying they came because they had to talk about some “senselessness” that happened in Luverne.
Those two words just make it sound like a hint that something terrible is coming. Of course, we all knew that without needing any clue from these two words. It just seemed to trigger something in my subconscious.
Excellent episode tonight. Especially loved how the title of the episode actually reflected at the end.
The kid getting back into the car with the meat made me laugh out loud.
I liked how nothing played out like I thought it would in the episode, including the ending.
We saw the Kitchen bros get killed by the Indian around the 8 minute mark.
But then, when Dodd’s daughter goes to visit Milligan, we see one (or was it two) alive.
Is it possible the Kitchen bros were actually triplets instead of twins?
Or could things have been shown out of sequence?
We saw Hanzee kill Black Coat by slashing his neck, then punch out Red Coat. The scene ends with him standing over the dead Black Coat and unconscious Red Coat.
Traitor Daughter comes over and sees Red Coat with a beat up face. “I see Thing #1, where’s Thing #2?”
Right. Thank you.
By the way, when Peggy is packing, did anyone else recognize the song playing on the radio? It was the same song from the movie sung by Jose Feliciano. Remember?
I doubt that has any real significance. It’s just a chuckle I guess.
Woo hoo! They mentioned my home town, Ortonville Minnesota, but I know for a fact that Reagan never stopped there. If he had, his meeting would have been at my parent’s cafe, which had the only meeting space in town (Kiwanis, for example).
Their restaurant was half-way between Fargo and Luverne, so if the happenings in episode one had occurred earlier in the judge’s trip, say if she had stopped for lunch there, they might have gotten caught up in the killings. Scary!
I did NOT predict anything that happened in this episode, except for how the “butcher” and his wife would act without thinking and get caught up in it all. I loved how he became “Luverne the Butcher” to make Mrs. Gerhardt think it was a contract killing.
Did anybody get a clear look inside that “hat box” at what looked like maybe a head? Was it Brad Garrett’s? Last I can remember seeing of him alive was in the woods with some spooky music going.
Yeah, I’m pretty sure it was his head. Milligan even touched his hair the same way he did in a previous episode when they were talking about shampoo. The last we saw of Garrett alive was when he ran out of the woods and Hainzee was waiting for him by his car.
I loved that. It was beautifully done, with Peggy deciding to stay and stick with Ed and sell the car, but that being pointless. It was so sad when the butcher shop was burning up and seeing the look on Ed’s face.
The whole scene with the young Gerhardt coming into the shop, and awkwardly flirting with the counter girl was so tense. And then having to go back in and everything escalating so much.
I couldn’t quite tell what Dodd was going for there. Was he honestly thinking he remembered hearing about some assassin named “The Butcher” somewhere, and maybe it was out of Luverne, that sounded about right? Or was he convincing himself of it, because obviously it had to be some criminal that did it, not just some random butcher? Or was he just bullshitting so his mom would order that the butcher be murdered?
I agree, it was Joe Bulo, played by Brad Garrett.
I believe he was getting his mom worked up so that she would be all in for the war, he knew the truth about Rye’s death, but was using the fiction to start a war he wanted (shades of Gulf of Tonkin?), also if you notice he’s pretty happy about the state of affairs, while his brother Bear is crying over the death of Rye. It will be interesting to see what happens when Bear finds out that his son was sent off to kill the Butcher of Lyverne.
The two brothers - Dodd & Bear - are very opposite in their natures. It will be interesting to see if one should live and the other should die.
I think Dodd deserves to die and Bear deserves to live and have some happiness in his life. But what people get and what they deserve rarely have much connection on this show.
Damn! I love this show. I’m so sad to think this season is half over and we will have to wait another 42 weeks till the next season starts. I sure would be willing to accept a little less quality we could get more episodes. But I guess there is nothing to be done except to accept it. Such a shame we can’t get more of this show.
William Munny: Deserve’s got nothin’ to do with it.
One of dozens of Eastwood classics! 
I really love this series! I keep being surprised by things, which is a delightful change from the usual TV shows with plot twists that are easily guessed in advance. Bruce Campbell as Ronald Reagan just blew me away. What a wonderful job of casting!
