hey guys is this show as good as they say?
can i watch s2 and skip s1?
>>63425475
Every season is a self contained story. Season 2 is a prequel to season 1 with a few nods to season 1. So, you're good
>>63425475
You can, but they're both great. If season 3 is as good as the first 2 it will be the best television series in history to be honest senpai.
>>63425522
>>63425538
neat. i shall skip s1 then
This episode is scheduled for 11:05 or 11:15 IIRC. So not a long one.
Betting next week won't end until 11:30 or 12:00, or if they go all SAMCRO, wasn't one of those two and a half hours?
>>63425475
you can skip s1, but I don't know why you would because it's so good.
>implying they need explanation
>implying the sighting Rye had isn't explained by the drugs and the balloon.

the massacre will be next week right?

idiots
10/10 alien use.
My only question left is what the fuck is going to happen in the finale? all we are left with is ed and peg with hanzee on their trail. and then of course lou finding out his wife is dead.
That was pretty clever. So thanks to Hanzee, the Gerhardts are all wiped out save for Bear's boy and Dodd's girls and KC will sweep in and take over without much of a struggle.
friendly reminder that if you don't like the aliens you are a pleb and need to fuck off back to reddit
>>63427665
oh boy
just realized at the end of the episode as the camera is panning to the sky the ayy lmaos show up again
peggy is the best character
>>63430990
dodds eldest is dead, showed it in the book at the start
>>63430980
I always thought he blew up some sort of truck delivering fishes and it rained right above that other guy
>>63431020
yea, bear killed her
repost:
I've already explained my theory on BrettyGood but here it is:
We see UFOs twice: after Peggy hit Rye in the first episode and during this shooting.
We also now that the narration is unreliable, the narrator remarks multiple times that we don't really know some aspects of this story.
So the UFO question is simple: we see them only through the point of view of shocked, traumatized people.
Peggy sees one after hitting Rye, nobody else sees it. We've also seen her hallucinate after she stunned Dodd,
Lou sees the second one while being strangeld by Bear. No survivor makes any remark about the UFO (I guess Hamzee will die next episode so he won't be able to tell his version of the shooting). if you think about it every person who looked at the UFO died during the shooting (Bear included). Lou was also being strangled so the lack of Oxygen may have caused the hallucinations.
Don't worry guys, aliens are not canon.
That was a good ep but everyone is dying
Aliens in the first episode could have easily been explained by the drugs Rye was taking combined with the headlights on the balloon that was found on the ground.
I cannot see how this will be explained, and it really does ruin the show. I was so hyped when all the shooting was happening and never have I fallen so quickly.
>>63430989
There's also Milligan and the twin (they still have to deal with the KC mafia).
>>63431071
i thought rye saw them and got distracted in the road
>>63431071
That's a pretty good one. I guess it would also explain Bear seeing it considering that he had started to bleed out on account of the gunshots and his anger making his blood rush (in theory).
>>63431071
Ed made a comment about it.
>>63431071
did peggy even see the ufo when she hit rye?
thought he was the only one who saw that
>>63431101
If what we're seeing is what survivors are remembering there's no way we can reliably say that Rye saw them.
If everything we see is actually canon alien exists and that would be total bullshit.
That was some bold decision making by the writers, and I appreciate the fact that they have the spine to commit to bringing in a fucking UFO in the tail end of a massive gun fight between gangsters and police.
For better or for worse, they made a plan, hinted at it every episode, and delivered without second guessing themselves.
No complaints, ayy lmao, etc. Good shit good shit.
FIRST FOR PEGGY
>>63431071
I think you're on the money.
Either the author of the true crime book or someone he interviewed - possibly Lou - took an interest in aliens and they latched on to "DUDE ALIENS LMAO" as the explanation for things that they don't quite know the answer to or can't quite explain.
>>63431071
>>63431071
Ed, Hanzee and Peggy all commented on it.
Aliums are real
Any webms of "It's just a flying saucer" yet?
>>63431101
The aliens are a metaphor for Hawley's very visible hand pushing the show along to fill his ten episode commitment.
>>63431165
Well, aliens never serve as a TRUE deus ex machina, most scenes could be easily be rewritten without the inclusion of UFOs without altering the entire continuity.
I guess now we only have to wait one week.
>>63431071
the fuck is ted danson up to in his office?
>>63431184
Yeah I know.
If Hamzee survives the next episode this theory will be completely bullshit.
>>63431071
Ed and Hanzee both reacted to the non-existent aliens. Lou and Bear both had the same vision. Peggy is retarded, but has no reason to see the spacemans.
>molly is a survivor
>draws aliens
>>63431184
>Ed, Hanzee and Peggy
We only know that one of those people will live to tell the tale - and that's the guy that was being strangled.
Judging from the way the narrator spoke of Hanzee in the past tense tonight, he's not going to survive next episode to confirm to the narrator that a spaceship showed up at the shootout.
That leaves the couple, one of whom is a crazy person. We don't know if they both or either survive to validate Lou's story besides.
>>63431133
Nope. Rye was blinded and stabbed and walking in a bit of a stupor when he turned his attention to spacemen so he could be struck by the car.
>>63431184
It's possible that there was definitely a source of bright light in the sky, but an alternative "normal" explanation will be offered (and Ed and Hanzee will either end up dead or be unsure of what they saw)
>>63431121
Who's ed?
I think there's no way they don't find a way to leave the reality of the UFO ambiguous. Love that they gave everyone a week to drive themselves fucking nuts about it lmao
>>63431285
Ohanzee means ghost
Because he doesn't exist.
does anyone have screencaps of the book at the beginning of the ep?
>>63431184
>Ed, Hanzee and Peggy all commented on it.
>Aliums are real
nope.
>Ed was strangled less than 12 hours prior and is still dazed
>Hanzee lost some hours when he checked on the diner and we later find out he's a veteran so he has mental issues from that
>Peggy has conversations with people that aren't there aka also has delusions
>Actually ends up being angels to tie into S1's Bibilical stuff
BRAVO
Plebs complaining about aliens probably thought Twin Peaks jumped the shark because Cooper's dreams turned out to be true.

Is this on any sites yet? My stream cut out.
>The Great War
that's not what it was called Ted
>>63431349
>Ed was strangled less than 12 hours prior and is still dazed
meh, your theory is pretty shit desu
>>63431358
Twin Peaks didn't deviate from the feel of the show.
You cannot go from real people making choices to alien mind control just because it makes writing the finale easier.
>tfw that guy never gets another Christmas Card
>>63431347
In the book it said the earliest event was in 1825. Season 3 is going all the way back or it is gonns be whatever the shit cop said when the motel shoot out started.
>>63431393
What exactly did Ed say about the alleged saucer? Do we know if he thought he was looking at a saucer
>>63431415
Season 3 is a few year after season 1.
>>63431400
It's not Ayylium mind control, they're just observers
>>63431400
A UFO was literally in the first episode, they've been building to a UFO the entire season.
>>63431349
I'd draw out Hamzee out of the equation.
It's still Fargo, the merciless killer will die, Ed and/or Peggy will most likely die and Lou will survive.
My guess is that only Milligan, Lou, Peggy and maybe White Beard will survive.
Also remember that Peggy didn't see the UFO, Ed did. And Peggy is delusional as fuck, she may agree with what Lou see.
>>63431415
yo they just said s3 was gonna take place after s1 like within the past few days

>>63431400
>>63431415
Hawley already said season 3 is going to take place after season 1
>>63431449
The controlled the events by setting everything in motion.
Space ships and alien symbols appear in every episode in key points of the plot to show the control.
All the aliens shit is just another hack Coen movie reference
That's all it is
>>63431473
Why would alien ever care about somethin so frivolous?
>>63431459
There could have been a mundane source of light in the sky which the "untrustworthy" observers saw as a UFO
watching the episode again to see one of the greatest moments in television history
>>63431481
Cause aliens are assholes.
>>63431478
It's like hearing the cover of just dropped in on the radio and arguing incessantly over whether fargo takes place in the same canon as big lebowski or not
>>63431481
peggy is the aliens' waifu
>>63431450
The first episode was ambiguous as to what was happening when home alone's brother was kilt.
This interrupts the story to ensure the proper ending occurs. Shit writing.
Every incident involving the half breed has alien writings or a spaceship/aliens in it. Every one.
How do you explain Ted Dansen's office full of alium pictures?
>>63431518
it does.Donnieis gonna show up in the finale and save Lou and kill hanzee and also reveal that he is really an alien and that's canon baby
After all the alien shit throughout the whole season, why would anyone not want a UFO to play a big role towards the end of the story? It would fucking blow if they did all that and didn't pay it off, just so they could give the show pointless intrigue.
>>63431561
This type of shit was popular back then. Leonard Nimoy had a show that explored the unexplained. It is on youtube. check it out.

>We also now that the narration is unreliable, the narrator remarks multiple times that we don't really know some aspects of this story.
exactly this. Whenever people didn't know how something happened they probably just said it was because of aliens. Since obviously lots of people in that area at that time seemed to be obsessed with it.
>>63431593
Obviously there was gonna be some sort of payoff; kind of surprised they went so over the top with it. I think I like it, though, personally. Definitely took balls
>>63423315
Hello fellow Leftovers/Fargo bros
>>63431561
>character that is obsessed with aliens the most doesn't get to see them when they show up.
I really wanted to see how he would react.
>>63431518
Now I'm wondering the same thing you fucker
>>63431645
But the door was open, so maybe he did.
>>63431549
The UFO was used the exact same way in this episode as in the first one. They could've had both events happen without the UFO, so it's not to "ensure the proper ending occurs" at all.
And don't bitch about things that are still your fan theories when there's only one episode left anyway.
Anyone got a link to the episode?
>>63431801
this was clear aliens exist. every other alien was either a picture or of unknown veracity.
ufo or ufo sightings. it doesn't really matter
>all these fags crying about the UFOs
you people do not understand greatness.
i am a tv buff and this might go down as the most iconic moment in television this decade and possibly the century. go back to watching shit tier shows like leftovers and walking dead
>>63423988
Hank, Peggy and Ed. Mike Milligan's gonna be our link to season 3.
>>63431899
All that was clear was that they saw something that distracted them. The whole episode was presented as being the events as understood by an outside party.
They should actually have it be aliens, though.
>>63431133
>see the ufo
>implying she didnt come from the ufo
>>63431220

>>63432260
The most ayy lmao thing that has ever happened in television
Anyone else notice what looked like Bear's friend from Buffalo running away towards the cars during the shootout? Idk if him getting away is of any significance tho, also may have been a random mook.
Also why does it seem Mike is taking out the last Kitchen Brother on the preview for the next episode?
Senpai, whats with the UFOs ?
better run through the jungle
incredible episode
>>63431595
I hope the season ends with them being the only survivors just to BTFO the cacs, desu

How fucking sexy was Peggy tonight?
Please God, please let Peggy die before the season ends.

What do you think you just watched?
>>63432397
this was posted before the episode
arent there stories of lots of people seeing ufos that the government has chalked up to gas leaks, and stuff like that? What if that's what happened?
Hawley agreed that this takes place before the events of the film, but he believes all the stories connect: "I like the idea that somewhere out there is a big, leather-bound book that's the history of true crime in the Midwest, and the movie was Chapter 4, Season 1 was Chapter 9 and this is Chapter 2," he said. "You can turn the pages of this book, and you just find this collection of stories. ... But I like the idea that these things are connected somehow, whether it's linearly or literally or thematically. That's what we play around with."

>>63431118
>>63431140

Btfo.
what happened to shit cop right before hanzee came up to the room and peggy and ed escaped?
he didnt die did he? thought he was one of the recurring characters from s1
this is the episode where I stop giving a shit about this show
>>63432379
>he took that post seriously
I think you might the retard
>>63432464
peggy cracked him in the face with the butt of the shotgun
Odds of Peggy and Ed dying next ep?
>>63432343
it was supposed to be pretty obvious....
"Nobody said, “Don’t do it.” Look, there was a lot of conversation as we were prepping to shoot. “Can we see some pre-visualization? What’s really going on with the UFO? Is it really a UFO or is it a weather balloon?” So going into that, they find that balloon in the second hour. There were some people [at the network] who wanted the UFO to be shot in a way so that it could have actually been a balloon. My feeling was always, “No, it’s a UFO. It is what it is.” We put a lot of references to it, maybe too many references. But it pays off, obviously. "
There was unexplained stuff in the first season that defied logic, like Malvo being a disappearing demon, but this goes too far past that.
Why should I care when it is creatures from uranis?
>>63432444
fargo the film is 88
>>63432506
malvo the unstoppable force
Bros, I need that CCR cover.
>>63432479
Oh, then I guess I am. I fell for it big time. :^)
>>63431695
I think he was more concerned about not letting anymore blood leak out his guthole
>>63432491
i think they get away. the crime book showed all kinds of bodies and crime scenes throughout the season, but it just showed peggy and ed walking, sort of a "last known photograph" kind of deal
>his name is hanzee dent
>hanzee dent is two-faced
BRAVO NOAHLAN
>>63432537
He literally disappears at several points in the show. First instance is in Lester's basement.
In addition to Fargo being “based on a true story,” can you say what was your inspiration for including the UFO in the first place?
The Coen Bros. sometimes put something in because it’s funny, but that doesn’t mean it’s meant to be comic. … There’s
a couple things that felt right about it. One is that it plays very
well into the conspiracy-minded 1979 era where it’s post-Watergate, you
had Close Encounters and Star Wars. There was a Minnsisota UFO encounter [in 1979] involving a state trooper. It was certainly in the air at the time. Alternately in the Coens’ The Man Who Wasn’t There they
had a [running UFO thread]; certainly it was more ’50s inspired, but it
was part of the cinematic language of their movie. So it felt like it
worked for the time period and worked for the filmmakers, and is a way of saying “accept the mystery” — which is a staple of the Coen Bros. philosophy in their films. And I thought it was funny. But obviously it
affects the story in a very real way. It’s not just a background element.
which death this season are you most glad for
probably the lesbian boss for me
>>63432573
Pretty sure he disappears...up the stairs. By walking up and out before the cops get there.
>>63431071
There is a scene where one character is holding a UFO magazine. Think one of the KC fellas in the donut shop.
>>63432588
dodd, bear, rye, the mom, the dad.
>>63432588
the mouthbreather from everybody loves raymond
>>63432590
He goes down right before Molly gets there. Lester looks to the flashing lights and then heads downstairs.
>>63432437
Of course those outside gas leaks
>>63432588
The Undertaker
What threw me off is that this whole saga is just one book. Could it be that each Season of Fargo is one book making up that great tome of "Midwest Crime Stories" and such?
>>63432595
And alien stickers are everywhere. And alien symbols are scattered throughout. And strange lights are in various scenes.
well, scenes not lifted from coen brothers films...
Episode was going well until the UFO bullshit.
>how are we gonna have Lou and Bear bother almost die, but Lou will ultimately win in a tussle with the much larger Bear?
>ayyy lmao
Don't you remember Betsy finding out her father was a wizard? He called in his alien allies after he got shot.
>>63432473
And? Who gives a fuck about your opinion?
>>63432627
I mean natural gas is a thing, is it not? It has to come from somewhere.
Also it would be a thing that the government would say that, even unlikely, most people would just accept rather than believe fucking aliens.
>>63432676
to be fair lou shot him in the fucking head and a few more into his torso before bear started choking him
>>63432693
People who don't confuse masturbation with compelling television.
Okay chums, who wins in a fight: Hanzi vs Malvo?
The part that gets me is that narrator dude doesn't even mention the UFO. Like he goes out of his way to tell you how uncertain they are about Hanzee, but not a single world about the aliens.
>>63432473
im reaaaaaally on the fence
I don't think Malvo is retard hand, I think its the remaining kitchen brother
>Mike rolls up to the scene
>"Okay then."
fuck what a badass
>caring about the narrator we haven't had for 8 episodes already
>>63432724
Malvo was sneaky so he would have to get the drop on Hanzee.
Hanzee seems like he would be much more dangerous on an even playing field.
>>63432573
Yeah, re-watched to make sure - he does disappear. Huh. Weird.
>>63432708
To also be fair it seemed to make stronger until the last bullet. I thought he was jsut gonna peter out from blood loss but instead still psycho strong until distracted by aliens
>>63432676
bear was dead already, he just hadn't bled out yet
ufo changed nothing
>>63432718
Fair enough.
>>63432708
Lou grazed his ear, shot him twice in the chest and then finished it off with a headshot.
>>63432702
I think they woulda blew the fuck up if that was the case.
>>63432742
Malvo isn't fucking in it. Get a grip.
>>63432762
Except he woulda took lou with him, or at the least he wouldnt have been able to chase after the blumpkins and hanz due to being retarded from oxygen deprivation
I like how peggy just dismisses the UFO like its old news
>>63432693
Is this not the thread for opinions? I'm sorry, I'll toe the line next time.
>>63422188
Hey, I like that actor. How major is he as a character?
val johnson
>>63432815

yfw malvo is the aliens and he used his spaceship to drop the fish in season 1
>>63431349
It's a shit theory. Move on.
>>63432808
She so fucking delusional sees been seeing UFOs since she married ed
>>63432745
Too bad Lou's gonna shoot first and ask questions later.
>>63432815
the main character
>>63432778
that's that pcp shit they warned us about in elementary school
>>63432807
bullshit, he wasnt choking him that long
ed was hanged for way longer than that and he ended up fine
>>63432815
he's the main protagonist of s2
>>63431349
If you want to go all Sopranos on it - you'd have to argue that five characters (Ed, Peggy, Lou, Bear, and Hanzee) all hallucinated the same event at the same time and mistook it for e same thing, as the camera adopted the POV's of each of the characters. If you're going to argue that Rye was originally hallucinating, and thus the camera was showing what he -thought- he saw, them the same applies for the massacre. Five people were staring at a UFO. Not one was privileged above any other.

no you don't. They definitely saw something in the sky but they didn't necessarily all perceive it as a UFO
>>63432871
>>63432884
>>63432894
Nice. I've been needing to get the show off my backlog.
>>63432903
Okay then.
>>63432972
It's easily one of the best shows on television right now, if not the best. Blows the first season out of the fucking water IMO. The Leftovers hype is also justified.
>>63432969
the guy who made the show says it is a ufo.
>>63432969
Yes, they did. Peggy comments on it being a flying saucer for one thing, for another, all five POV's are shown. Whose point of view are you seeing when you see the UFO, then? It's shown at angles Lou and bear couldn't see. When the audience sees the UFO, whose vision are they being shown?
>>63432969
What, like a chopper or some other, massive, UFO-shaped vehicle? There's nothing else that would have stopped Bear in his tracks like that, and Peggy explicitly calls it a saucer. This scene was terrible and ruined the entire season because it's so explicit.
>>63432878
Ed has a fat neck and he could barley move at all after. Also seemed to me he wasnt even close to bleeding out. Do you realize how many times you can be shot and still function? Thats why cops swiss cheese black people.
>>63425475
Yes! I binge watched season 1 last week.
This reminds me of the BSG fiasco all over again. 4 seasons of being told repeatedly by divine messengers that God was orchestrating all the events and then in the finale when woah, turns out the twist was that yes, it actually fucking was god, every retard in the room shits their pants and starts wearing them as hats.

I don't care why there are aliens, I just don't like it.
>>63432791
>Malvo isn't fucking in it.
How do you know? Anything goes now that they've jumped the shark.
>>63433167
Yeah, this.
>>63422188
>Lou was losing consciousness and couldn't see the UFO for the lights
>Rye and Bear both died staring at it
How much you wanna bet Ed, Peggy and Hanzee all die in the finale and no one mentions the UFO again?
I didn't care for the episode, but I also don't think that the UFO ruined the season or anything.
I feel like the stuff with Hanzee was kinda lame. They had to shoehorn a narrator in to try and explain it because its just so out of the blue.
The firefight was boring to me for the same reason, it was just kinda senseless. Explosive for the sake of being explosive. We're basically set back an episode where Lou was sneaking up on Hanzee, Ed, and Peggy.
>>63432665
>book opens up with a preface dating back to 1825
>Chapter 14 is entitled the Sioux Falls Massacre
>its outright stated that everything happening this season is collectively referred to as the Sioux Falls Massacre
It's just that one tome
Also just wanted to say that Hanzee's escape from the cabin at the end of the last episode should be a nice visual as to how killers like Malvo and Chigurh appear to be "supernatural". Just extremely focused men who know how to handle tight situations and react like a well oiled machine when the adrenaline is pumping.
>>63433068
he was using a revolver
so bear probably took like 2 .38 special rounds in the chest
bear is a big guy, so i can understand him still being able to fight after that, but he still would have bled out really quickly
if lou was using lol9mm he would have been in trouble
How long until we see this.
>you will never be on the run with peggy
>>63433245
Rye died in the garage after Ed stabbed him.
>>63432753
>implying Hanzee isn't sneaky or as sneaky as Malvo
the tunnel rat is pretty sneaky, don't underestimate him
>>63433311
the adrenaline and desire to murder lou would have kept him going before the blood loss stopped him. guess it also helps he's got that nice flannel jacket.
>>63433321
Hopefully fucking never. Although, if they were going to do it, Justified would've been that show.
>>63433327
Yeah yeah I forgot.
>>63433321
count your blessings it isn't an AMC show.yet.
>It's just a flying saucer, hon, we gotta go.
>>63433311
>two .38 special rounds
Troopers carry .357 magnums and shit, don't they?
>>63433219
>mfw fargo has triggered all MUH REALISM fags that wanted another stereotypical crime drama
>>63433114
Pretty much. It was fucking bizarre for /tv/ to only realize God existed in the last ten minutes of the show.
You fuckers are purposely dense
>mike michael jacksons himself into malvo
What are the odds of Mike making it? I mean, the Gerhardts aren't an issue anymore and he did clean it up on a technicality.
the only thing disappointing about this season is it took noah too long to scare away the normies
HOW IS THIS SHOW SO FUCKING COZY?!
>Bear wasted in the parking lot by Lou
so much for the "Bear is the Fargo mob boss from season 1" theory
>>63431071
That's all fine and I'm glad you came up with the theory. But the truth is it's meant to be ambiguous - either your story flies or aliens were really monitoring humans in the 50's-70's. Both have merit.
I'd also like to point out young Molly finding the balloon near the diner, meaning the initial UFO sighting could have been a balloon reflected against Peggy's headlights. Like I said, it's meant to be ambiguous.
That said, we got some pretty clear shots of a flying saucer with a rotating rim in tonight's episode, and one character we know will survive (Ed Solverson) witnessed it. Whether or not this will be addressed in the finale is yet to be seen, but really, I love this shit. This is what television is about. Leaving you guessing, making you theorize, influencing you to keep watching.
I personally believe the UFOs are real and their appearances had direct influence on the Sioux Falls Massacre, whether intentional or not.
>>63433724
I was disappointed that it turned out he wasn't Mr. Tripoli.
>>63433707
snow + homely '70s aesthetic.
>>63433757
I think it's the way they talk too.
>>63431071
garbage theory
So we have two camps. One is desperately trying to rationalize that the aliens aren't real. The other thinks that the presence of actual aliens makes the show stupid.
Both are moronic.
>>63432745
Can anyne post that clip somewhere?
I truly need it in my life.
>>63432727
He is the aliums bruh
Shit is Tralfamador
>>63433652
i guess it depends if kansas cares that he killed the undertaker
>aliens appear in the first episode of the show and affect the events of the narrative
>this is fine
>aliens appear in the ninth episode of the show, slightly closer up, and affect the events of the narrative
>DROPPED
>>63433813
we won't find out next week if the "aliens" are real anyway. this was a UFO sighting. they happen quite often
>>63433752
Same, I was all hyped up for Bear to be the last surviving Gerhardt and then finally he cuts a deal with KC purely out of the drive to survive, after watching everything around him die off or be destroyed, selling off his grandfather's legacy to blend in to corporate America and just be another faceless cog in the machine.
I hope that running off into the night like a little girl isn't the last we see of Richie from Buffalo either.
>>63433835
>it was aliens in the first episode
m8
>>63432365
I think the lights are just attracted to what gets their attention. They saw the two dead guys, they saw Lou and Bear, and they saw Hanzee get shot and fall backwards. It's a curious thing. Also is why it gets frightened by gunfire
peggy is literally the perfect female
can't be bothered with aliens n shit
>>63433813
What about the camp that doesn't give a shit about rationalizing the aliens, or isn't dropping the show because of it, but is just going along for the ride?
why would peggy marry a fat bitch like ed
Everyone who thought Rye was hallucinating just got BTFO
>Nah bro it was the coke!
its like the people who are complaining and trying to rationalize the aliens have never seen the man who wasn't there
>>63433890
Nothing happened when Lou wasted Bear, but when Hanzee starts firing again it gets spooked and gets the fuck out of Dodge.
>>63433915
Seems like they go a long way back. Ed was probably a "second choice" like Betsy was for Lou.
>>63433915
Because they live in a small town and maybe he wasn't always fat
>>63433917
>he doesn't know that ep 10 will open with an investigation regarding a gas leak and LSD put in the water supply by a hippie prankster
>>63433915
I was wondering about that
They don't really seem to have much in common,and their chemistry is weird
>>63433915
>>63433934
>>63433942
A small little blurb I was able to read in the opening mentions that they met in high school.
>>63433900
They're the smart camp
>>63433813
There's also the minority that thinks the presence of actual aliens is awesome and relatively inconsequential in the grand scheme of things.
>>63433915
because hes a paladin
Bear just fucking dies
WHAT THE FUCK!!?!?
>>63433915
Her first love died in Vietnam. Ed's friend. He comforted her and they got married. She never really wanted him.
Simplest explanation is that aliens just have a huge boner for violence.
>Rye shoots up a diner
>Aliens pass by
>Huge massacre occurs
>Aliens get up close to examine it
hanzee is taking revenge for his ancestors you shitlord cis white people
tfw no cancerfu
probably just a weather balloon tbqh
>>63433167
It was a deus ex machina though.
A flying saucer appeared out of fucking nowhere at precisely the right moment to save the main character. That's like, the definition of a deus ex machina.
>>63434026
WHAT DOES THE TRIANGLE MEAN?
ILLUMINATI CONFIRMED?
>>63431376
http://projectfreetv.so/fargo-season-2-episode-9/
>>63434046
>save the main character
unless you're a retard, it was already clear he was saved. It was just a question of how.
>>63433982
That seems to be a recurring theme.
I didn't expectDodd, Otto, Robert Barone, Floyd, or The Undertaker to die either.
NEED ALL THE SONGS FROM THIS EP
NOW
>>63434000
Oh shit, is Hanzee gonna kill cancerfu?
>>63434000
>that trigger discipline
shes the best
They should do something with Bigfoot next season.
Like,you have all these Midwestern hicks talking about Bigfoot and Sasquatch and the Patterson footage and all that for nine episodes, and then at the finale Bigfoot shows up and wastes everyone
I am pretty sure Ed and Peggy lives because the narrator says the events of the massacre changed Ed and Peggys lives.
can someone pls post readable screenshots of the pages?
>>63433983
Source on this? I took it as a commentary on the mundane process and tradition of life in such an area. Hence her journey and desire to be actualized and break out.
>>63434046
But we had reason to believe a UFO might be out there, and it behaved in a manner consistent with how we would expect a UFO to behave. It appeared at a fortuitous moment but its existence was not or should not have been a complete surprise
>>63434046
Except flying saucers appearing out of fucking nowhere at precisely the right moment to influence the plot and INVOLVE the main characters was literally in the pilot episode.
You are really a dense motherfucker, you know that?
>>63434154
I read that their back story was cut due to time but that's definitely their story.
>>63434079
I never doubted that Lou would survive.
The point is there are several, better ways they could have done it as opposed to having a fucking flying saucer appear and distract Bear.
>>63434154
ill actualize her. ill actualize the fuck out of her
>>63434046
you think this ties in with the ronald reagan film Peggy was watching?
Why was the flying saucer dripping shit on Lou? alien tears?
>>63434154
If you pause the beginning of this episode it's in the book.
>>63434246
alien cum. lou has been fertilized with an alien baby that he will birth from his butthole. its name?malvo
>>63433311
>.38 spc which does way more damage than 9mm!
don't do this again
>>63434083Dodd had his fair share of camera time. Bear seemed like he was going placed but then got shut the fuck down in his prime. Others like The Undertaker don't quite matter as much as they were killed before learning about them.
I'm mad, anon. I wanted Bear to go on a rampage or at least carry on the family name at some point in a lesser degree. :'(
>>63434191
Except that in the pilot we didn't get a prolonged, clear view of a flying saucer just hovering.
Had it just been a flash of UFO strobe lights that distracted Bear, I'd be fine. Leave some mystery. The fact that they made it completely unambiguous is what bothers me. Now there is no doubt whatsoever that aliens exist in the Fargo universe. And I would prefer they hadn't done that.
>>63434288
i know, i messed up family
was hoping no one would notice
>>63434313
once again, a UFO sighting exists in the universe, not necessarily aliens
>>63434313
>sperging out about canon
>>63434000
>>63434000
HNNNNNNGGGGG
>>63434313
literally just wait until next week
noah is smarter than you think
>>63434392
I don't think that he is.
Only thing that would save it at this point is if it turns out all the alien stuff was added in by an unreliable narrator.
Maybe a scene with old Lou telling the narrator he's full of crap.
>>63434313
you're taking it too seriously, the fargo universe is completely ridiculous as it is even without the aliens.
Does anyone have preview for next episode? My recording cut out early
>>63431121
All he said was "are you seein this"
could be referring to the police officer from their hometown being choked out by a huge guy or the fucking massacre that just went down
>>63434479
he was looking up at the sky when he said it
and peggy literally said it's just a flying saucer
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: You finally paid off the UFO teases with, yes, a massive hovering UFO. What are you prepared to tell us about this?
Noah Hawley: I haven’t prepared anything. There are going to be people who will smack the TV and go, “Come on!” and that’s a great reaction. Everybody is entitled to their reaction. I like to say that everything in there is because it actually happened in the world of our “true story,” and in this case there was a UFO. I haven’t seen or heard any of the responses yet, so I’d be responding to phantoms.
In addition to Fargo being “based on a true story,” can you say what was your inspiration for including the UFO in the first place?
The Coen Bros. sometimes put something in because it’s funny, but that doesn’t mean it’s meant to be comic. … There’s a couple things that felt right about it. One is that it plays very well into the conspiracy-minded 1979 era where it’s post-Watergate, you had Close Encounters and Star Wars. There was a Minnsisota UFO encounter [in 1979] involving a state trooper. It was certainly in the air at the time. Alternately in the Coens’ The Man Who Wasn’t There they had a [running UFO thread]; certainly it was more ’50s inspired, but it was part of the cinematic language of their movie. So it felt like it worked for the time period and worked for the filmmakers, and is a way of saying “accept the mystery” — which is a staple of the Coen Bros. philosophy in their films. And I thought it was funny. But obviously it affects the story in a very real way. It’s not just a background element.
>>63434461
this would make it worse
>>63434461
Karl. it'll be Karl
>>63434514
God damn it I love you Noah. Not a single fuck given, ever.
>>63434461
>>63434570
I'd be ok with this.
>>63434540
>accept the mystery
>>63434477
yeah it was just a bunch of stereotypical grayskin aliens passing a bong around in a circle with ed and peggy taking massive rips
>>63434313
Why? UFO sightings were much more prominent in the 50's to the 80's than they are today. Why is it so hard for you to accept a supernatural element in a show based on a Coens Bros. movie?
Have you seen Barton Fink? Some literally ridiculous supernatural shit happens in that movie. It's borderline Lynch.
>>63434514
>>63434540
i like this explanation
it's just a bizarre thing that happened in the story that isn't supposed to be taken so seriously.
the coen's have bizarre absurd shit in almost every fucking movie they've made, that's like their thing. the only movie i can think of that they didn't have ridiculous stuff in was no country for old men.
Did the aliens tell Hanzee to betray the Gerhardts?
>>63434749
tBh hanzee kind of looks like e.t
>>63432791
fuck off
>>63431645
He IS an alien. As soon as hank gets shot the UFO shows up to bring him back home. He's the one setting everything in motion. He left Peggy alone at the house without even checking on her after he got nailed in the face. Several times it shows him it cuts to symbols or a weird sky glare. Finale will be him bringing the cancer mother to a field, waving to cop, and both being sucked up; her getting revived in the air and looking back down at Lou.
it's pretty obvious the aliens are just studying human behaviour
>>63425122
>>63425383
>>63432013
all wrong
>>63431349
your theory is shit
>>63433321
>Chris hardwick doing an awful accent every opening
Please no
>aliens are just trolls wanting to see chaos
thank you based hawley
>It's Rapid City all over again
and we have our next season plot folks
>It's an 1825 season
who hyped?
>>63435267
i really hope they just keep taking this show further and further into the past
>>63435267
didn't they already confirm S3 will take place after S1?
Is Cancerfu alive?
>>63434748
>the only movie i can think of that they didn't have ridiculous stuff in was no country for old men.
Chigurgh was a Mexican Terminator. How is that not ridiculous? The whole film is pretty absurd in general, too.
>>63434000
why does miloti always have to die?
>>63435329
he's european you faggot
>>63435329
that's on a much lower level of absurd than something like aliens, or john goodman being john goodman in barton fink
>>63434748
What about Miller's Crossing or Fargo? Not much bizarre or absurd stuff there
>>63435329
>mexican terminator
meh, he's a man, same as Malvo, Hanzee or Milligan, just a man. Aside from Chigurh tho, No Country isn't really bizarre or absurd at all
>>63435296
never heard
>>63435441
>Not much bizarre or absurd stuff there
miller's crossing is pretty straight i guess
fargo is ridiculous tBh, those goofy accents and characters mixed into all that brutal violence is very absurd
>>63435441
Malvo wasn't just a man. He escaped the basement in a way that wasn't shown and can't be explained. As well as being shot a handful of times and still being able to attack little Tom Hanks. I know you guys get mad at the idea of him being the Devil and i'm not saying he is, but Malvo wasn't just a human.
Milligan is just a man.
Hanzee is still up in the air. During the 8th episode I had an idea that he was in fact an alien. If you really pull for some straws it's kinda there. He stated he was tired of his current life, he doesn't get along with humans, the narrator states he has no concrete record of him. etc. Or y'know, he's just a Native American. I have a feeling he's gonna get abducted by the aliens in the finale and either Peggy or Ed will escape. Cue timejump like in the first season of either one of them enjoying their life, possibly finally getting caught.
Really though, like any of this talk matters. It's fun to theorize, but just like the first season of Fargo and Breaking Bad, the plot just goes in a completely different direction than what /tv/ thought and it still ends up pretty good.
Hanzi himself is an ayylium hybrid. He looks like an alien, has heightened senses and planning abilities, and the show provides ayylium references whenever he's part of happenings on screen.
screencap this post, Hanzi will be revealead to be an alium in the last episode, infa 100%
>>63435460
my brother texted it to me and I kinda took it for granted.
>>63435606
i doubt anything else is going to happen involving the aliens, they pretty much served their purpose in the story, anything more would excessive. people are already pissed about the aliens (because they don't get it).
i think hanzee might live. he's kind of like an anton chigurh character, and those types almost always live in some type of way in the coen movies (peter stormare in fargo was also this type of character - a quiet psycho killer)
>Little diddy 'bout Peggy and Ed
>It wasn't for dumb luck they'd both be dead
