Fargo Season 2 Thread
- Thread starter The Prince of All Saiyans
- Start date
Not to take this thread down that path, because it's already had its fair share of fickle arguments - but this is beyond excessive stanning. There are quite a few episodes and shows for that matter, that are not only equal but better (The Knick and Rectify).
Never seen "Rectify", but if "The Knick" season 2 is your yard stick then I'm gonna have to disagree.
And I love the show. Season 1 was great. I like season 2, I don't plan to stop watching it seems like they have no idea what to do with half the characters. Algie suddenly having a wife and Cornelia turning into a plague detective is a prime example.
Fred.
Algie's wife is simple - she's a juxtaposition of sorts not only in temperament to him but as a person of color who doesn't know life and the exact racial implications of living in America. Therefore it's not out of character when she challenges those in power and the differences in their social position [Mr. Robertson over Algie's role at the new hospital and Algie's parents only being viewed as the help]. She's just another wrinkle in the show of a female breaking the gender role and taking control - same goes for Cornelia, same goes for Lucy, same goes for Effie and same goes for Harry.
The women in the show challenge the men in their lives and societal norms all in a different way.
You completely missed my point breh.
Her actual character is fine. Them crow barring her into Algie's story on some "Days Of Our Lives" shyt is
For the record, I actually like season 2. But it's nowhere near the level of season 1, or "Fargo" season 2.
Fred.

How The 'Fargo' Finale Revealed A Hidden Secret From Season 1
A big fat clue to where one character ended up
BY ALAN SEPINWALL @SEPINWALL | MONDAY, DEC 14, 2015 11:15 PM
"Fargo" just concluded its second season with a finale (click here for my review) that made several overt references to characters and events from season 1, but also drew an obscure but ultimately unmistakable line from one character this year to someone from last year. If you don't want to know, don't click through, but if you want to find out how it's all connected, I'll tell you just as soon as I talk to Dale from HR...
So as Hanzee is preparing for his new life as Moses Tripoli, and a new face to go with it, he tells his contact that he will have his revenge on Kansas City, no matter how heavily-guarded the leadership there may be, or how his own would-be empire might end up one day.
"Not apprehend, dead. Don't care heavily-guarded. Don't care into the sea. Kill and be killed. Head in a bag," he pronounces, before switching from English to his native tongue to add, "There's the message."
As it turns out, Hanzee isn't the first "Fargo" character to use that particular phrasing. Season 1, episode 6, "Buridan's Ass," introduces the head of the Fargo mob circa 2006, who's discussing what to do about Sam Hess's killer, with one of his men suggesting Hess was killed because of an extra-marital affair, rather than something tied to their business, and that Mr. Wrench and Mr. Numbers will apprehend the killer soon.
"Not apprehend," the boss declares. "Dead. Don't care extra-marital, don't care not related. Kill and be killed. Head in a bag. There's the message."
Not only does he use identical language, but I checked the guest credits from that episode, and it turns out the boss, played by Mark Acheson, is named...
...Tripoli.
So, sometime between 1979 and 2006, Hanzee not only has extensive plastic surgery, so he'll eventually look like this...

... but he either kills enough Kansas City representatives to take back control of the Gerhardt family's old territory, or else he simply joins up with KC, since Tripoli in 2006 is dealing with accountants and other irritations that smack of what Mike Milligan was being told to deal with when he got his own Kansas City promotion.
What does everybody think? Does knowing that Hanzee eventually becomes a boss — even if he has to completely submerge his own identity — please you? Or are you upset that he'll wind up murdered by Lorne Malvo? And were the two kids Hanzee rescued from the bullies meant to be Mr. Wrench and Mr. Numbers?
