    Stavros was instructed to take the money to "Gustafson's Parking Garage." This parking garage actually was the project Jerry Lundegaard proposed in the original film to his father-in-law Wade Gustafson, finally taken by his company and now named after him.

    Running isn’t a solution, it’s a temp fix. Even if Lester has no ties to this town and planned to leave, he isn’t really equipped to survive on the lam. That would just make him look more guilty and they would eventually catch up to him. He needs to clear himself with the police before he could go anywhere else.

The hitmen are called Wrench (deaf one) and Numbers and work for Moses Tripoli if you need a name reminder and don't want to look it up. I'd actually avoid looking stuff up so not to ruin future seasons events, just watch the whole thing blind first. Great reaction, I love the twists and turns keeping you surprised. 😃

    You guys are very perceptive, but I have to say that I think you really missed the mark on the reasoning behind Lester's actions. Lester knows he is caught. Running away won't help him at all. It's not as if they wouldn't find him. So it's odd that you don't see why he might choose to try framing someone rather than run away.
    It's surprising that he would be so ruthless, it's surprising that he might be able to pull it off.. but it's not really surprising that he would choose to attempt to avoid a murder charge. Running now would only make him look more guilty.

      Indeed, though it shows a level of deviousness in him that we hadn't really seen before. Up until now, he'd just seemed like he got more and more entangled in events spiralling out of his control, much like Jerry Lundegaard in the original movie, but then he suddenly devised this ingenious plan where he managed to frame his brother *and* get himself a seemingly perfect alibi in the process.

    Law enforcement are taught to shoot a deadly threat until they’re not a threat anymore. It doesn’t matter where the person is shot or how many times they’re shot, just that they’ve stopped being a deadly threat. Also, take into effect that handgun rounds are dependent on good shot placement to stop a threat. AR-15s are more deadly because of velocity (kinetic energy) & the bullet’s shrapnel spreading out creating more internal bleeding. The assault rifle aka machine gun used is heavily regulated by the ATF & actually sucks for accuracy purposes if not well trained in handling its recoil. Shooting through glass & especially windshields (glass is curved) does really weird things to a bullet’s trajectory because of many factors like angle of bullet entering the glass, types of glass, speed it hits glass, etc. And everyone knows except Hollywood apparently, that use of full-auto fire is really for suppressing enemy fire so a shooter & his team can move to better strategic positions. Otherwise you’re wasting ammo & quickly & missing a lot because of recoil. Semi-auto (99% of all guns) are best for taking accurate well timed & placed shots.

    The fish incident is explained in the next episode. The snow blizzard caused a little mini tornado over a lake and it picked up all the fish from the lake and then threw it onto the road. Crazy right? 😉 Sam, Fargo is one my favorite shows of all time, too, and Season 1 is the best! And your husband is right, Lorne is going to go all out for revenge against the kingpin in Fargo! 😮

    Stick with this show, even the worst season (season 4) has it's moments. Season 5 in November (amazing cast for that season)

    I followed you through all of Sopranos. And I enjoyed it. But it is SO frustrating that you are only doing one episode a week on this. VERY unsatisfying.
    Good channel though. You guys are good at this.
