I like the show and this scene didn't bother me particularly, but it's undeniable that it makes no sense and any explanation is just kind of a stretch.

It had been explained a while back by one of the actors, I forgot which, that the alien stuff was just a nod to the UFO-craze of the 70s, which had several reported sightings of things that were usually just balloons and stuff like that. It made sense an added an extra layer of mystery to the show, tying it to its era.

However, an actual alien spaceship appearing in detail and everyone seeing it is just unexplainable in every single way.
>>
>>63584011
It's not unexplainable. The explanation is "aliens."
>>
>>63584011
>unexplainable in every single way.
Except that it's just fucking aliens.
>>
>>63584042
>>63584074
Saying "it's just aliens" isn't explaining why they were there, just stating the fact that they were.

>Dude, how are you flying?
>It's just flight, man.

It's not like that.
>>
>>63584011
>everybody seeing it
>implying Ed, Peggy and Hanzee all get out alive

>everyone else who "saw it" was dead
>Lou will just chalk it up to some sort of trauma or being under duress or some shit
>Hank may or may not live and may or may not have seen it

4ish people saw it, and we know for sure only one of them makes it, who knows what happens with the other three. Could be one of those events where Lou doesn't talk about the UFO because he doesn't know what he saw, or he stopped bringing up the UFO aspect by the time season one rolls around because no one believes him by then.
>>

>>63584155
Everyone who was outside at the scene stopped to look at it. Every single one of them. It was a big event and, in the way the episode was told, it was there. Whether it REALLY was there or not is irrelevant to debate, because the problem everyone is having is the fact that it was included in the episode to begin with.

>>63584204
I really don't understand how you're taking criticism to a TV show so personally, but I'll entertain you. No, you can't explain something by saying "it is the thing." That is a shitty road to go on. If writing television was like that, the writers could literally put anything at any moment at all and then just say "it's just [thing]." Bear has a penis made of solid gold? Dodd is superhuman and survives getting shot in the head? Peggy is the Devil? But why? "Oh, because those are just the things that they put on the show. Are you dumb, man? Do you want everything handed out to you?"

Questioning stuff isn't bad, accepting every single writer decision because you're desperate to like the show is.

How about this then cunt, Aliens have been explicitly referenced in almost every episode as being a real thing in the shows universe. The writers didn't pull it out of their ass at the last second
>>
>>63584330
The thing is though is that whether it was aliens or not makes no difference, because SOMETHING was there. Dod surving a shot in the head would change the story, Bear has a penis mad of gold is somethng that also wouldn't matter, but that would be stupid, Peggy is the devil was already explored with Lorne Malvo.
Aliens make no difference on the story, its just an extra layer to give an explanation for what Lou saw. (I say Lou because everyone else will probably die)
>>
>>63579507
What are you talking about? Second season is all shit.
>>
>>63584330
>everyone who was outside
>4 people

everyone else was dead. It really isn't a big deal, you just seem upset that something that's been danced around all season actually had some payoff instead of just blue balls. I bet you are in the same group of people bitching about the lack of a tentacle monster and portal into Carcosa at the end of TD1 and you can't even see the irony there.

the point here is that it isn't the aliens, you and others like you just love to bitch and if it wasn't about the aliens it would have been something else, probably about the fat ladycop or something
>>
>>63584439
>How about this then cunt, Aliens have been explicitly referenced in almost every episode as being a real thing in the shows universe

No, they haven't. What the show had built was an air of crazy paranoia around aliens. Lone sightings, posters on walls, weird images, strange talks... All leading back to >>63584011, all pretty much based on the fact that this paranoia was very real a few decades ago.

Putting an actual, seemingly real alien spaceship in a context where it undoubtebly appeared and influenced the plot not for one, but several characters took that into a level that was just too comically absurd for a lot of people. Like I said, it didn't even bother ME, but it's an easy issue to play devil's advocate to because it's not unreasonable.

>>63584450
>The thing is though is that whether it was aliens or not makes no difference, because SOMETHING was there

And they went with a very outlandish image as to what that was. I can't understand how you can't see that that's the problem. The theory that we were seeing what Lou saw because he was the only survivor and etc doesn't hold water because he wasn't the narrator, and none of the story has happened from his point of view thus far.

>>63584577
The number of people doesn't matter, that's not an argument. It's all witnesses anyway, meaning it happened in plural and not singular, which adds weight to the event and also a sense of realness. I have also never watched True Detective if that's what you were talking about and I said I liked the show, so if your only tactic of response is to make wild assumptions on how wacky a guy I am you should probably refrain from posting.
>>
>>63584293
Peggy is the one who surprised me the most over the course of the season. Living the smallvill life, she is an annoying, self-absorbed cunt, that comes off thick and ungreatful. But seeing her in action the last few episodes, taking out a crew of hitmen, dealing with Hanzee, Dot, and the stupid police guy, ready to flee custody at the first chance, saving herself and Ed over and over again... That character gained my respect. She really was meant to be more than a butcher's wife and beautician. I didn't see that comming.
>>
>>63584691
>>63584691
>And they went with a very outlandish image as to what that was.
Ya he thought it was an alien, because well there was a huge thing about it in th 70's that you talked about in the same post.
>The theory that we were seeing what Lou saw because he was the only survivor and etc doesn't hold water because he wasn't the narrator
It does hold water, cause hes the only one who was there and was able to tell the story, who narrated it didn't matter cause whoever was narrating was years and years later, and mainly a stylistic choice to say that this was a story that has been changed throughout the different tellings
>>

>>63584816
The truest irony is that the ending of TD was very lovecraftian

>>63584691
I still don't see what the big deal is. Rye clearly saw a UFO. All those wonky spoopy blue lights, that guy at the gas station talking to Lou about them.
>>
>>63584808
It still doesn't hold water because even though the show is happening in a decade that has already passed we're supposed to be seeing it "in real time." As in, the story so far hasn't been consistently told with a narrator, in the sense that it wasn't made to feel like a "tale" or whatever. It hasn't presented itself as the type of narrative that would allow for that, but if it had, then it would be plausible that the events are being recollected and possibly not too trustworthy from memory alone.

What really made it jarring was the fact that, despite being littered with alien references, every plot point this season has been the result of human actions, in a way that it didn't seem like the aliens were driving the plot, but merely adding mystery to it. That scene essentially took them from easter eggs to central players. If it happened or not, it if was what Lou saw, it doesn't matter. The fictional reality wasn't the issue. The writers' decision was. The writers in the real world, creating the television show Fargo, who decided to put that totally alien (no pun intended) scene in.
>>
>>63584992
>from easter eggs to central players

But it was the UFO sighting that pulled Rye out into the street and got him ran over by Peggy and set everything in motion. Hate to break it to you pal but they've been central players since jump street.
>>
>>63584992
I kinda agree with
>been consistently told with a narrator
but there was a reason as too why this episode was, whether you agree with me at this point or not, I don't care, but its not like the writers shit the bed or anything
>>
whats exactly so bad abot aliens?
they were already in the very first episode and influenced the plot by getting gerhard brother killed.
them not showing up anymore would just blueball the audience
>>
>>63585120
I would argue that them not showing up again would be worse, as it would have been completely out of place
>>
>>63585051
Rye was alone, meaning he could've seen anything, and in the very next episode the alien paranoia setup began. It also wasn't a crystal clear spaceship decending upon him for several for a full minute.

I'll give you an example. Do you know those scenes in movies or TV shows where a character sees a dead person, but the dead person is obviously, well, dead? And you know the character didn't REALLY see him or her, because he was the only one and it disappeared afterwards.

Now, if that characters yells "Holy shit, it's dead Steve!" and all his friends see it too, become freaked out about it, and Steve hangs out with them before calmly strolling away, it becomes a whole 'nother scenario.

>>63585070
It wasn't clear if the narrator was actually narrating (as in, had power over the events) or just addints observations the story. But in any case, it would still be easy to see why that's jarring to people.
>>

>>63585297
It's not reaching nor hoops. I also LOVE how you completed disregard my extremely comparable example and yet came up with one that was completely the opposite.

It also wasn't a little scene, but just the climax of the climax, and also resulted in the death of the last Gerhardt, when everything up to that moment was giving the impression that Bear would be able to kill Lou before going.

>>63585346
>I literally can't read

Jesus. It's hard not to be mean here.

Rye being alone and the show building an alien paranoia with all its characters leaves it up to speculation whether he saw it or not, it's not concrete or inconcrete, it could've been or it could've not, much like a lot of alien sightings. Whether it really was an alien spaceship becomes then irrelevant, and it's a scene that makes sense.

One that goes "no, this is real aliens and everyone sees it" is a complete 180 of that idea.

Please read before responding. I beg of you. And let like, maybe SOME information go into your brain or something.

So what do you guys will happen next Season? Do you think Molly and Gus(?) will return?
>>
>>63585262
Hank is an alien. He gets shot and they show up to help. When he's on screen there's a lot of times a skyglare before or after cutting to another scene or character. When he gets hit in the face outside Peggy's he doesn't go check on her. Just leaves to pick up Lou. Final scene will be him taking dead mother to a field, looking at Lou, waving and being abducted. She will reanimate mid air and look down at Lou and smile. Third season will be about molly trying to tap into her half alien powers

>It's all witnesses anyway, meaning it happened in plural and not singular, which adds weight to the event and also a sense of realness

I'm not gonna type this again just because you are illiterate.

A half-dead character seeing something alone is miles away from a collective number of people seeing and recognizing that ssme outwordly thing all at the same time. One is debatable, the other is a stretch to try to explain as "mass delusion" or whatever it is that could cloud all their visions at once.

>>
>>63585188
A legit UFO shows up and you still doubt whether or not Rye actually saw one? I don't think it is supposed to be up for speculation at this point.
There is still one more episode. Who knows? Maybe they will do something amazing with the concept. Maybe not, maybe they'll ruin what has been a spectacular season up until here.
I don't think that the point is that we are supposed to wonder if they actually saw aliens, but why the aliens saw them.

Exactly, dude. Congratulations. A legit UFO showed up, unlike what Rye saw, which was up for debate, which didn't linger that long, which was a lone event. A legit, detailed UFO from another space with probably aliens inside. That's the exact problem.

I mean, really... It's like explaining to children, except you fake your naivety and stupidity in order to argue.

the only people trying to debate that was the "blood loss, high on coke and adrenaline and maced" crowd, aka the same crowd trying to rationalize away the UFO at the climax of the last episode and are mad that they can't do that so easily this time around, ie, you.

Funny thing is, Peggy is the actual menace to society. The Gerhards are done for, they just don't know it yet - everybody in the family is broken beyond repair. The fargo syndicate is the inevitable successor, but that's a political and economic problem.
Peggy is a sleeper, who seems insignificant, until she royally fucks shit up for keks. The question is, is she an ungreatful bitch, or is she aspiring to be all she can be?

>If it happened or not, it if was what Lou saw, it doesn't matter. The fictional reality wasn't the issue. The writers' decision was. The writers in the real world, creating the television show Fargo, who decided to put that totally alien (no pun intended) scene in.

>>There already were alien things before.
>What the show had built was an air of crazy paranoia around aliens. Lone sightings, posters on walls, weird images, strange talks... All leading back to >>63584011 (You), all pretty much based on the fact that this paranoia was very real a few decades ago.

>>Rye saw a spaceship too.
>A half-dead character seeing something alone is miles away from a collective number of people seeing and recognizing that ssme outwordly thing all at the same time. One is debatable, the other is a stretch to try to explain as "mass delusion" or whatever it is that could cloud all their visions at once.

>>The episode was being narrated, that's why.
>It still doesn't hold water because even though the show is happening in a decade that has already passed we're supposed to be seeing it "in real time." As in, the story so far hasn't been consistently told with a narrator, in the sense that it wasn't made to feel like a "tale" or whatever. It hasn't presented itself as the type of narrative that would allow for that, but if it had, then it would be plausible that the events are being recollected and possibly not too trustworthy from memory alone.

Protip: Fargo is not just a show that tells a nice story. So unless you figure out what it tries to tell about society, you will find yourself stuck in discussing technicalities, as you have been for an hour now. FYI, from a technical standpoint, the alien scene is amazingly effective and fits perfectly in tone and message

You've been arguing a moot point this entire time (trying to explain the basis of this argument as opposed to taking a side, is that the point you're trying to make here?) and are likely being just strung along and baited whilst repeatedly taking the bait.

Honestly, plot-related opinions aside, it did look impressive. The lighting, the sound, the way it just hovered ominously while dripping onto those below. Realistic reactions from the characters, aside from Peggy. However, hers was pretty good though because it was funny as fuck.
Everyone stopping a slaughter-fest to gaze up in fear and awe at something they think they recognize but cannot understand.
I'm pretty neutral on the scene myself but taking the scene by itself, on its own merits. Pretty good shit.

>>63586273
>moot point

No point here was moot. I also stated my feelings a lot of times without ever denying that the other side was reasonable and had valid reasons to dislike the alien outcome. It's so funny how childish your mentality is that you think you oughta "pick a side" when talking about a TV show as if you're going to war. Completely unrealistic point of view regarding the world.

It's pretty childish that you think you have to pick a side. That you've so feverishly defended your feeble opinion to the last is even sadder, some how, highly indicative of an autistic manchild. You probably think you're more mature for having a civilized conversation whilst the rest of us mouthbreathers fling mud and shit at each other.

>>
>>63586372
>You're repeatedly not saying anything tough.
I have been, I am just trying to assert that I am not trying to upset you. I just want to talk about the show! Jesus.

but since you are telling me that I "haven't been saying anything", here is what I am thinking about everything:

The UFO seems out of place because it just shows up unexpectedly in the scene. HOWEVER, aliens have been hinted at throughout the whole season. There had been an inkling in my mind that they would actually show up, but I wasn't sure.

You kept implying you thought that Rye hadn't actually seen a UFO and I was just wondering why you would think that, especially given all of the evidence pointing to him having actually seen one.
Yes, he was in a situation where people do not make the most firm decisions and conclusions, but it would just seem strange to have something like that happen in a season where all sorts of other alien shit is going down, but chalk that one up to a hallucination.

I'll end this post by saying that I love this show and I honestly believe the writers will do something amazing with this.
Or they will drop massive spaghetti in the most disappointing finale since Dexter.

I'm sure you're very umlike me. Are you done now?

>>63586442
>It's pretty childish that you think you have to pick a side.

What? You're literally taking what you said

>(trying to explain the basis of this argument as opposed to taking a side

And putting it up as if I said it. Are you actually delusional? Do you see real aliens and shit?

The fact that you even mention "sides" when talking about TV shows on the internet invalidates everything you say because it comes from a point of pure bias, as in, you see it as a battle. "Well, I liked it, so the people who didn't gotta be wrong and have no merit!". You really do think like a kid then and you become useless to any kind of discussion.

I conceded the point that if it was being narrated from the book, years later, then the recollection could've been shoddy and lend space to more fantastical scenes like that, but that it would be out of tone for the show to suddenly go that route, which would still be a valid reason to dislike it. That's forming a reasonable point of view that's not black-and-white on something.

>>63586483
>The UFO seems out of place because it just shows up unexpectedly in the scene. HOWEVER, aliens have been hinted at throughout the whole season. There had been an inkling in my mind that they would actually show up, but I wasn't sure.

I responded that already about the aliens being "hinted" a thousand times, it's like the second one in my response collection post.

>You kept implying you thought that Rye hadn't actually seen a UFO and I was just wondering why you would think that

I also responded that. It was no "evidence" as in, the show hasn't PROVED "yes, there are aliens and here they are." The UFO-craze and the multiple sighting were an actual thing in real life. Please read up my responses.

I like the show too. And repeatedly trying to say someone is upset doesn't make you seem like a very good person to talk with, it's needlessly confrontational. Here >>63586184

But the thing is, I could say the same about you. I was only saying that because every time I would try to bring up a point, you would respond with something hostile. And when I would respond to the hostility, I would assure you that I wasn't trying to make you angry.

I don't know anything about you though so I won't judge. But I am gonna drop out of the debate here and just lurk the thread because I don't think you and I will understand each other or agree on what we perceive about the show.

there is a certain website for people like you, who want to constantly feel enlightened by their own intelligence.

I personally don't see the point in dropping the show becuz aliums, or trying to rationalize them away. They where there, they where hinted at and danced around, then they show up in a big way. I'm along for the ride.

I brought "sides" into it because your so focused on masturbating over explaining the mindset of either conflicting opinions. When in reality it just seems that you're kind of anguished that you can no longer say "lol come on guys, Fargo is a mature show for adults, it isn't some whacky quirky cooky kids show, he didn't really see a UFO, he was just fucked up in the heat of the moment, i bet we won't even SEE another ufo this season"

Non-Alien Fargo Theory:

Ed and Peggy will kill Hanzee in the next episode before Lou can catch up to them. They will then look at each other and realize that their lives have been ruined and cannot be repaired. They will then commit suicide together and it will be beautiful as fuck.

I got the idea from when the autist girl from the butcher shop was talking to Ed about death being beautiful and the only end we all go to, followed by them talking about suicide.

Honestly I'm not even sure if I'm writing english anymore here, it's been too long.

>>63586742
>there is a certain website for people like you, who want to constantly feel enlightened by their own intelligence.

That is useless and not an argument.

>They where there, they where hinted at and danced around, then they show up in a big way. I'm along for the ride.

And some people weren't, with valid reasons. What a strange weird. It's like every human being is unique and has his own opportunity to form his opinions.

But Ed and Peggy are the couple of the future. Maybe Ed will die and Peggy will be both free and alone, but I think they are the only ones who get out of the whole thing without being traumatized. Peggy had the fun of her life, and Ed is a thick guy.

I'm curious to see if Ted Danson's characrer lives. My guess is that Lou and Molly will end up alone (as we know they will anyway). The mentioned alien theory is quite charming (>>63585466)

You imply that Fargo lost it's claim by making obvious that it is fiction, when that does in no way diminish what the show is saying. Quite the opposite: The alien made it clear that this is not a mafia soap opera, but works in a higher context. Amazing how they do not pander to that audience and avoid the Breaking Bad situation, where 80% like the show for all the wrong reasons.
>>
>>63587273
Right? The flying saucer works as a metaphor on such a profound level. I mean, I almost teared up at the sheer intellectual beauty of the sequence.

Peggy is the most modern character in the show. Hedonistic, living in a world constructed by media, brazingly self-absorbed. I can't see the writers killing her off without giving some unsubtle moralistic comment, which they carefully avoided up to this point.
But it really wouldn't be the first time Fargo surprised me, so...

it started going downhill once Hanzee became a mass murderer for something he has probably dealt with for the last couple of years, which somehow was supposed to justify him killing Dood for absolutely no reason other than shock value.

He killed him because he was going to start over, the racists was his tipping point.

>>63588237
it just felt so out of place
he has probably dealt with racism for years at this point, but this time he starts shooting people in the middle of the street. Just so he has a reason to start over at the most convenient point in time for a le ebin plot twists.
They could have just made him a wanted criminal when he killed those bunch of guys in the woods 4 episodes or so ago and than it would have worked out nicely.
But this just felt like they had this idea for a plot twist and wanted to squeeze it in at the last second.

10/10 show

Ruined by needless aliens.

They have never been a necessary plot device and every instance the aliens have shown up could have been explained via some other means.

At the Diner, culkin could have chased the waitress across the road, shot her and then have been hit by the car.

At the massacre, the indian stabbing the old lady gang leader could have been enough of a distraction to everyone.

Aliens was absolutely not necessary and how come the guy who saw them first hand never brought them up when discussing sioux falls in season 1?

All the other times it had a reasonable explanation, like some guy being on drugs and mistaking a balloon for an UFO thus getting run over by Peggy.

But this was a straight up Deus Ex Machina moment, and the low budget CGI didn't make it any better.
