Agreed. I really liked the Lorraine/Roy interaction.
Holy shit that was fantastic. I was hoping that Dot and Lorraine would team up and go all bad ass on those pricks but this was so much better.
JJL was great in that scene. Sheriff Roy thought he was going to intimidate her. Nah. She was cool as ice.
I’m glad Dotty isn’t just an unbelievable superwoman. Makes it more intense.
Also, loved the bit with Graves and the security guy, who immediately after his chewing out gets on his wrist radio and starts spouting jargon about “toy box” – code, I’m sure, for Scottie. Ha. One’s a pastry, and the other has a boy’s name.
I think we can safely say the pieces are set, and things are set in motion that can’t be stopped.
Is the husband still sitting in the bathroom?
However, in this episode I just lost all respect for deputy Indira Olmstead, First, Dorothy’s attorney has made it clear she will no longer answer questions. At that point, the deputy is completely out of line trying to question her in this and previous episodes. It’s over- you can now only speak to her lawyer. Now sure, what with Dot coming to her for a personal favor, that opens things up a bit, but not in an official capacity.
Then, she is a smoker- nice, you are in money troubles so lets literally burn money away.
Next- her worthless golfer husband who is literally driving them into bankruptcy. Cut his card up, return all his toys and tell him to get a job.
Not to mention flirting with Dot in front of his wife.
I like the contrast of Indira smoking real cigarettes, while Gator vapes on his little kazoo.
Also, did listening to Jason Schwartzman’s documentary-style narration make anyone else think of Ricken reading from his self-help book in Severance?
Another episode that I hated to see end.
I wonder if it’ll ever be addressed in any way why Munch always wears dresses?
Haven’t seen the ep yet - but I thought it was a ‘kilt’ and based on his backstory.
He was clearly wearing an old woman’s dress and coat. It was from his “housemate”.
Here’s a screenshot from the first episode:
He was wearing a kilt before but not in the most recent episode.
Huh. He was definitely wearing a kilt in the scenes with Roy and Gator in this last episode.
A completely Dot-free episode (other than photos), and it still was great. I love how everything is slowly converging and everyone’s story is slopping into everybody else’s story.
Maybe I was primed by Roy shooting the obnoxious cancer patient, but I was fantasizing about Indira pulling out her gun and shooting Lars right between the eyes. What a waste of skin.
He is a 500 year old Scottish peasant. Trousers would be uncomfortable and restrictive to him.
They are maintaining the gothic/surreal tone during expositive scenes. I do agree that the sound balance is off though.
It wasn’t a warning, it was a curse and a demonstration. It said: “I can get you in your most vulnerable place, and everything you do will fall to shit until you make it right with me.”
I was referring to a scene in the episode after that. The answer has been found.
Yes, sorry. I was just referring to the sentence that sparked the thought. I like the fact that the “golem” (or whatever he is) is a complex character. It is, I think, what sets this series apart for me. All of the “bad guys” are explored and their motivations are clear.
Ole doesn’t just want to win, or do evil for the sake of it, he needs to finish his job. He has to fill the hole he dug.
For her to stand there while he whined about wanting a traditional wife while he was failing in his traditional role of breadwinner showed astonishing levels of restraint. And I loved how she confronted Lorraine (who seemed to also have a man-child for a husband).
True but in his mind he’s going to be a successful pro golfer and make millions and his unsupportive wife isn’t doing him any favors.
Or astonishing levels of being astonished.
Probably in his mind the only thing stopping him from being a successful golfer is her failure to properly support him. Not his lack of skill and talent.
