I might just be too dumb to get it and I haven't seen the original movie but season 2 was a huge disappointment to me the UFO stuff was so out of left field and didn't really add anything to the plot, took away from a lot of the good parts imo.
@@Pizza-gb1ch basically malvo kept pushing asking for Lester’s location but Lou gently says no… than when malvo keeps pushing and getting intimidating Lou just tells him a story that says I’m an ex-cop, I’ve seen things, and you don’t frighten me. Malvo then realized he had no way to get what he wanted, and left.
@@Pizza-gb1ch Like Primenumber says, Lou kept refusing to give Malvo what he was asking for and didn't retreat or flinch while doing it. It was subtle because neither man changed their affect.
There are two interpretations here. One is the basic "no frills" explanation of Lou telling Malvo that story to illustrate that he knows Malvo is up to no good, and that he's not going to fall for it. He was a cop, he sniffed out that Malvo was a bad dude the second he walked in, and that's that. The other is the more metaphysical explanation that Lou is telling Malvo that he's seen pure evil before, so he recognizes it when he sees it. If you accept the fan theory that Lorne Malvo is a manifestation of the devil, Lou is basically saying "yeah, I'm familliar with your previous works, pal" without coming right out and saying it. Which is why he asks "...ever been?" Also notice that Malvo never says "no", he just gently deflects the question, implying that...maybe some version of him WAS there.
I've always found it interesting that out of all the main cast, Molly (who is also the most competent character besides her father) was the only one who never encountered him but would always be just slightly short behind. I also love who Lou's story gave us season 2.
This was always as much a Fargo show as a Coen brothers movies in general show. In this case it's doing the No Country For Old Men thing, where the main cop and the main criminal never quite meet.
I think this is possibly my favourite scene in the whole franchise. Even watching it this time, for the umpteenth time and knowing how it will go, my heart was pounding as Molly drove up. The actors, director, editors and composer absolutely nailed it. A true masterpiece.
@@Pizza-gb1ch Actually the yetzer hara road upon the serpent like his steed (Midrash Rabah) as snakes could walk then, and this illustrates the deeper more profound meaning behind the statement later in the Exodus story - "The horse with its rider He threw into the sea" that not only does it refer to the destruction of the Egyptian military but of the defeat of the yetzer hara whose plan it was to annihilate the Jews (same plan as usual, he doesn't vary it much).
@@4ccelerat0r It's implied that he is the devil multiple times through the season. Both what he says and what he does. On one ocassion a jewish guy call him devil or demon.
@@Slava22222 As Billy Bob said in an interview, "He's a bit of God, a bit of the Devil. A puppet master." America is wrapped in the religions of Abraham, so no doubt he'll be seen as a specific demon or devil, depending on who is seeing him and what they believe. But what truly makes him frightening, is that at the end of the day, he's still simply just a MAN. And while being a man, he's the embodiment of a man without a moral compass, and the heights a man can go if he's willing and capable to do whatever he wants. Him saying, "since the garden of Eden" is like the Joker saying, "Do you want to know how I got these scars?"

This is far scarier than a fiction, because it's not only something you can relate to, but something you can see it, which makes it believable.
BBT and Keith Carradine giving us a true acting masterclass. Love the way they both put on a disarming smile, but never let their guard down. It's like Old Scratch and Daniel Webster running into each other over a century later.
Lou was the Cherubim, and Malvo the Snake. This conversation is an allegorical dance between the two and its only revealed as one as the last line of this sequence.
"Haven't had a slice of pie like that since the Garden of Eden." You can't tell me Malvo is meant to be a human. No sir, he's intentionally written so that this little question remains, who, or better to say, what the hell was Lorne Malvo. One of the best villains ever put to screen.
I think it's pretty obvious he's human honestly, we see him have to eat, get injured and need to tend to his wounds and of course he is murdered in the end but I do think he's supposed to represent a human incarnation of "evil" or atleast the raw predatory side of human nature. It's implied he was raised by animals (most likely wolves) and then reintegrated back into society but maintaining his raw instincts he learned and grew comforable with growing up. Kill or be killed, hence why he frees the deaf assassin even after he killed his brother because they were the closest to killing him as he mentioned to him, he loved the game of being a predator or being prey it's what satisfies his soul.
@@francismartial6427 it could be argued that Malvo only ate the pie as a way to blend in and lower Lou's guard, as well as serving as an excuse to stay & inquire about Lester's whereabouts. Tending to his earlier wounds could be blamed on the fragility of this temporary human vessel/form.
The actor playing the former detective/ detective’s father plays an FBI agent hunting a serial killer in the show:’Dexter’, and he’s great in that as well.
Break down as many little details as you like, Billy Bob Thorntons performance in this series should go down as some of the greatest acting ever put to film, he is absolutely incredible.
I believe with that garden of Eden quote he secretly ment that this moment where he’s basically called out for being a murderer made him feel naked like Adam and Eve, it was exhilarating to him.
or it could be him implying he's the literal devil considering he shares a lot of traits with Satan like his ability to manipulate people with ease along with his vast knowledge and uncanny ability to slip away from any situation unharmed
Show me where in scripture it says satans name with those attribites, in the old testament its still all gods will everyone and everything is a servant including the "devil" who tests us @@BigDingus-l1d
I feel like working on this show had a big influence on Jordan Peele as a filmmaker. This show blends genres so well, I wonder if its success inspired him to take the risk of doing his unique style of horror.
Considering his Nature of stirring up problems through manipulation or one incident caused by him i actually expected Lorne to appear in s2, not even with a line but a implied move
Obviously great acting, but it’s the writing that gets it there. This is what Landman is missing, good writing. That show has so much potential, but wanted to go the Roadhouse route.
Some insects kill their mate after mating. I'm assuming in my ignorance that it has something to do with protecting the hereditary line from competition. In any case, never saw any of them eat the bodies afterwards.
When Lou retells the events of Sioux Falls to Malvo, Lou has no idea & will never know that the one person (Hanzee Dent) who did most of the killing that night escaped justice for all those years & was killed by Malvo.
this season still takes up space in my head, love it the best out of all five (so far). BBT is just too good, but that's not discount all the rest of the cast who are outstanding season ranking from top to bottom : 1,2,5,3,4 ( sorry Chris Rock you cannot do convincing dramatic acting)
"Went by the house, turns out he's moved." "Hmm, no kidding?" I feel like he knew exactly which nice house Lester had moved into in that small community
"Of course noone hangs the sad pictures mum crying dad looking angry.. kid with a black eye" weirdest thing I've heard from this shady character coming out. This is what makes him interesting as an antagonist there are inferences that he was abused or left for dead in his childhood. I wish there was a backstory for him
As a resident of Sioux Falls, I’ve heard a lot about that night in 1979. It wasn’t totally clear what happened, my dad told me what he had heard. Course, everyone had heard a lot of things. Hard to separate the wheat from the chaff, so to speak.
It was exactly at the moment that he said "I was hoping to surprise him" that the conversation changed and then Malvo tries to say something that sounds sensitive and empathetic but can't help but make it sound sociopathic. It's after that, that Lou asks "How long did you work for the Tampa DA?". It became a suspect interview.
the way he talked about soux falls i was expecting someone to be about as bad as lorne malvo perhaps slightly better but since it was in 79 and no cameras he would be far more effective than malvo was but nope it was a "gang" war which would be easier to talk "welll it was a gang war pretty much"
He means Hanzee Dent, though he doesn't know that's who it was. Every season of Fargo has a character who is its version of the Devil. Even V.M. Varga in Season 3 is just as dangerous as the rest, but in a psychological sense.
He's talking about Hanzee. He kills: - Joe Bulo - A Kitchen brother - Constance Heck - Dodd Gerhardt - Floyd Gerhardt - Ed Blumquist - A bartender - Two police officers - A gas station attendant - A civilian in a car - Two young boys (off screen) - At least half a dozen of the Gerhart's henchmen He was a walking chaos.
to me 3 > 2 > 1 (could be 1 > 2 though, it's pretty close), but then decisively > 4 > 5. in other words the first three were the good ones, and in my opinion on an improving trajectory, but after that I'd agree that it went downhill. season 4 was all over the place, with way too many characters, shallow attempts at social commentary (not exactly in the spirit of Fargo), and overall form over substance. and season 5 i don't even want to comment upon
I don't think it really deteriorated, just really hard to live up to the expectations after season 1. Hard to create another villain like Malvo and then cast it equally well with BBT. My second favorite was season 3.
The “lawyer” bit is interesting. If Malvo is meant to be the Devil, that would make him “The Accuser”, sort of akin to God’s prosecutor. Though only if the prosecutor also is gleefully getting the defendant into trouble in the first place. It happens in a smaller case when Malvo nudges the kid to piss in his boss’s gas tank and then calls her on him.
This setup made season 2 a bit disappointing for me. I thought it was going to be another character (like Malvo) who caused a bunch of chaos. Instead, it's a rather disjointed gang war that is difficult to keep a straight timeline on. It had a bunch of great moments, but it doesn't hold a candle to Season 1 in my book.
I really felt season 1 followed the film best, and put some interesting spins on it that didn't feel super jarring. Malvo is one of the most terrifying villains I've ever seen, I think he's scarier than Chigur from No Country for Old Men. Also, I just liked the classic story of good vs. evil that season 1 tells. I absolutely love Molly and Gus, and I think they were really cute together.
animals dont kill only for food . There is plenty of other reasons they kill : for territory, for mating rights, to protect their cubs or even to get rid of cubs of other animal. For example : if lion kills hyena, he does not eat him, but leaves the dead body to scavengers. Same if he kills cubs of other lion to take over his pride .
Recently watched season 1: stunning, watched it again right away Finished season 2 last night: hit and miss, though admittedly watched it in parts Started season 3: much more promising thus far
@ yes, so do most fans. Check out any ranking of the seasons. Usually goes 2, 1, 5, 3, 4. Season 1 was phenomenal, but season 2 was even better. Your opinion is your opinion, but I don’t get how anyone can be lukewarm on it.
@ I guess I watched it in a more staggered way cos I wasn’t gripped by it, whereas season 1 I was super focused and eager. Plus the random stuff with the UFO that didn’t really have an explanation bugged me. I’ve also fallen off season 3 as well. Not sure why. But season 1 I’m obsessed with and watched it twice. Maybe I do owe the other seasons so far a bit more attention.
now seems just a normal exchange but when we watched it the first time, we were all scared, scared that Malvo could have killed Lou. Of course there was no Season 2 yet, we could not have known what kind of person Lou really was.
Rewatch that show recently, I quite liked it the first time but it didn't work for me the second time. The dialogue are so cringe, most of the time one character ask a question the other answer with '' let me tell you a story'' and instead of going right to the point the character ramble for 10 minutes in what is supposed to be a meaningful insight of a situation but really its just icing with no cake. Once you really listen you realize there is nothing deep (most of the time) about the elaborated answer and some part of their story is filled with inaccuracies, good example in the scene, the character says ''I'd call it animals, except animals only kill for food'' Firstly its not a very original statement secondly that's absolutely not true, a lot of animals kill for fun. And when its not the elaborated ramble, the character answers with a high school level riddle or fun fact like ''Did you know the human eye can see more shades of green than any other color?'' Gus grimly should have saud ''yes yes i know why, are you telling me you are a predator? Is this supposed to be intimidating?'''
perhaps the Fargo universe (themes, style) just isn't for you. those riddles and stories are part of its esthetics, in the spirit of the Coen brothers cinema. fans don't expect to see a crime story as told by Tarantino (which i also like, but it's totally different). to each his own

Asking if he’d been to Sioux Falls and for his phone number could definitely be seen as a subtle warning. He’s obviously got a feeling about Malvow

"animals only kill for food" was the dumbest line in the whole film maybe. Pretty much anyone who isn't completely dumb knows better.
Season 2 of Fargo was brilliant but this was an inaccurate description of the events! 🤣
Recently watched season 1: stunning, watched it again right away
Finished season 2 last night: hit and miss, though admittedly watched it in parts
Started season 3: much more promising thus far
Season 2 is “hit or miss”? 😂S2 is the GOAT of the series.
@ you think s2 beats s1?! Honestly?!
@ yes, so do most fans. Check out any ranking of the seasons. Usually goes 2, 1, 5, 3, 4. Season 1 was phenomenal, but season 2 was even better. Your opinion is your opinion, but I don’t get how anyone can be lukewarm on it.
@ I guess I watched it in a more staggered way cos I wasn’t gripped by it, whereas season 1 I was super focused and eager. Plus the random stuff with the UFO that didn’t really have an explanation bugged me. I’ve also fallen off season 3 as well. Not sure why. But season 1 I’m obsessed with and watched it twice. Maybe I do owe the other seasons so far a bit more attention.
@@LifeOfRy the villain is great in S3, but the overall storyline has structural/cohesion issues. I thought the back half of it was pretty weak too.
Thats Frank Lundy right there not Lou XD
now seems just a normal exchange but when we watched it the first time, we were all scared, scared that Malvo could have killed Lou. Of course there was no Season 2 yet, we could not have known what kind of person Lou really was.
Lungren knew....
Malvos hair is different here...
I'm gonna just keep believing my pet theory that Malvo is Hanzee.
Terrible headcanon to have.
Malvo kills Hanzee.
Back before Fargo became terrible.
If you think animals kills only for food I would recommend to search on yt what zebra alpha male does with not his babies
Rewatch that show recently, I quite liked it the first time but it didn't work for me the second time. The dialogue are so cringe, most of the time one character ask a question the other answer with '' let me tell you a story'' and instead of going right to the point the character ramble for 10 minutes in what is supposed to be a meaningful insight of a situation but really its just icing with no cake. Once you really listen you realize there is nothing deep (most of the time) about the elaborated answer and some part of their story is filled with inaccuracies, good example in the scene, the character says ''I'd call it animals, except animals only kill for food'' Firstly its not a very original statement secondly that's absolutely not true, a lot of animals kill for fun. And when its not the elaborated ramble, the character answers with a high school level riddle or fun fact like ''Did you know the human eye can see more shades of green than any other color?'' Gus grimly should have saud ''yes yes i know why, are you telling me you are a predator? Is this supposed to be intimidating?'''
perhaps the Fargo universe (themes, style) just isn't for you.
those riddles and stories are part of its esthetics, in the spirit of the Coen brothers cinema.
fans don't expect to see a crime story as told by Tarantino (which i also like, but it's totally different).
to each his own
That went nowhere. Please see a real diner scene: A History of Violence.
apples and oranges. there's explicit violence and implied violence.
Sioux Falls season sucked.
First!
First
cringe
