Hmm. An interestingly weird episode. Great to see Ray Wise again! His message to pass along to evildoers was this: [Obadiah 4 KJV - Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, - Bible Gateway](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Obadiah+4&version=KJV). Also see: [Book of Obadiah - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Obadiah) At the end of his chat with Nikki he said what sounded like “Leck lecka.” What’s that mean? I found myself rooting for Nikki and the deaf guy, even though they’re both murderers themselves. So Sy was obviously poisoned, and we leap forward from Christmas 2010 to March 15, 2011, according to the dry-erase board in his hospital room. We learn the Asian assassin is named… Meemo? Nice touch to have the Sisyphus-and-boulder stamp even in the lobby of the Stussy Company. Here’s more on the Japanese soldier Varga mentioned; he held out until 19-freakin’-74: [Hiroo Onoda - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiroo_Onoda) Best lines: Emmit: “Sy’s not dead.” Varga: “Yet.” Emmit: “What?!?” > [@simster](#): > > Maybe they were only mostly dead? As far as we know, they still aren’t really most sincerely dead. > [@Tamerlane](#): > > I’ve noticed there tends to be a real split between pro- and anti-weirdness folks re:Fargo. I know a lot of folks really want a drama grounded in reality, even if they enjoy some quirkiness. So stuff like the barely explainable rain of fish in season 1 or, far more off the rails, the completely unexplained and inexplicable UFO encounters of season 2 are real irritants… I fall into the second category, all in all, but I’m willing to roll with it. Two more episodes this season? ---

> [@Dewey\_Finn](#): > > I saw an interview with Noah Hawley who suggested that this might be the final season for the show. Actually what he said was: > [@](#): > > Executive producer and showrunner Noah Hawley said he didn’t currently have an idea for a fourth season, but he certainly sounded open to a return to the wintry, crime-ridden Midwestern landscapes the show has explored in its first three seasons (the current season wraps up June 21). > > “Here’s the thing — I wasn’t sure there was going to be a second season” after the first, and after the second was in the can, he was similarly unsure that there would be a third. Each time around, he explained, it took him some time to come up with the core concepts for the next season. He noted that FX executives were patient with that process, and added that they had even said after the first season, that he didn’t necessarily need to follow it up unless he had an idea he was excited about. > > “If an idea comes, we will do another one,” Hawley said. “I am certainly aware of the danger of overstaying your welcome or repeating yourself.” > **[‘Fargo’ at ATX: Noah Hawley Talks Future Seasons and More](https://variety.com/2017/tv/features/fargo-season-four-noah-hawley-fx-atx-television-festival-1202461226/)** > > “So what does that even mean — the words ‘true story’?” Hawley said of 'Fargo's' third season. “I wanted to deconstruct that this year.” ---

I don’t know if that’s very different from what I said. FYI, [this is what the AV Club had to say](http://www.avclub.com/article/noah-hawley-says-season-fargo-might-be-last-256623). > [@](#): > > Fargo is currently barreling toward its third-season finale on FX, throwing together its now-expected blend of violence, money, and desperate, morally flexible people. Fans of the series might want to be sure to tune into that June 21 finale, though, because there might not be all that much Fargo left to see. > > That’s according to creator and showrunner Noah Hawley, who told attendees at Austin’s ATX Television Festival yesterday that the series’ third season might just be its last. “I wasn’t sure if there would be a second season,” Hawley told Entertainment Weekly. “I wasn’t sure if there would be a third season.” Explaining that, “At end of season 1, [FX] said, ‘If you want to leave it there [that would be fine],’” Hawley noted that “There’s only a certain amount of storytelling you can tell in that vein. And I love telling stories in this vein, but I don’t have another one yet. So watch the 10th hour [of season 3], because it might be the last.” > > Hawley is currently operating under an ambitious TV-making schedule. Besides Fargo, he’s also the man behind FX’s trippy X-Men-adjacent series Legion, which is expected to return to TV early next year. ---
