The son put a tracker on Munch's car
I have a feeling that's not going to work out well for the son

Really weird episode but I liked it!
I'd say one of the more interesting episodes of the season. I'm still finding this season to be a mixed bag, so I can't pass final judgement yet.
I have to admit, they got me with the dream sequence with St. Linda and the puppet show. I'm not sure if there was some clue that it was a dream that I missed, maybe other than Dot falling asleep at the wheel. It provided a good back story to fill in the details, and was a good way to get Dot back in the hands of Roy. You know that had to happen before the season ended.
I feel like they are trying to give Gator an out. Dot told St. Linda she still sensed good in Gator, and the puppet show portrayed him as just as much a victim of Roy as the women. I think he has gone too far for redemption, but maybe he does something in a future episode to redeem himself.
edit - Many online seem to think Linda is actually dead, and Camp Utopia depicts some sort of afterlife.

She saw a postcard with Camp Utopia and a chicken piccata recipe on the bulletin board before she fell asleep. There might have been others.torrid said:

I think the season ends with Gator killing Roy to protect Dot, maybe even sacrificing himself in the process.
First, I have loved every season of Fargo, including this one.
Second, this season is a chick flick told in guy movie methods.

The bulletin board also has a notice for a doll show, and when she's driving away from the diner she's on the wrong side of the road.Counterpoint said:She saw a postcard with Camp Utopia and a chicken piccata recipe on the bulletin board before she fell asleep.

Weird episode. Weird season. It receives the benefit of the doubt b/c of its history, but man this show really needs to pick up and end well IMO.
I've loved this season and thought this week's episode was great.
I just finished season 4 bc I never saw it and I liked it much more than I thought I would. I guess my expectations were really low.
Gator had a chance but blew it when he killed Grandma on the sidewalk. Ole Munch will be out for blood.
I believe the original Linda is dead. I remember Sheriff Roy mentioning he already "put a wife in the ground."
That episode was very strange and I need to rewatch it. It had a strong "Midsommar" vibe when Dot was at Utopia. It will be interesting to see how Dot rebounds now that Roy has captured her.

I need to go back and rewatch the last season, got about half way in when it originally aired, and just lost interest and gave up.
I was expecting a short scene with Munch pushing a leg into a wood chipper.
Bit late to this with the holiday week but really enjoyed this episode. Thought it was a super creative way to fill us in on Dot's backstory and the puppets were just the right kind of quirky for Fargo (also some really cool visual tricks in the puppet show).
And I would not want to be Gator right about now.

Throwing up spoiler tags since I know a lot of people watch on Wednesday, but…
Walking to the barn to that version of Toxic was peak Fargo
Great episode yesterday. I'm interested in googling the real story but will wait until after this season is done to see how it ends.

Unfortunately the events aren't actually based on a true story. It's all made up. Just like the other seasons of Fargo.

Well played.
The windmill. Remember that Dot unburied the Camp Utopia postcard from beside a windmill.
For some reason, I found it reminiscent of the Mad Men "Tomorrow Never Knows" episode.jah003 said:Phrasing said:Yep. Was a terrific episode all around. Wow.jah003 said:

The "consequences" line was classic!

Such a good episode, with so many killer moments.
John Hamm has just been amazing this season. I usually watch on Wednesdays (Hulu), but I will end up catching it next week on Tuesday (FX). I just can't wait to see what happens. This show is one of a kind.
- Dot promising to kill Roy (he knows she is capable)
- The sheriff's debate
- Ole Munch's return
- Dot seeing the windmill and realizing what happened to Linda
- Poor Danish...RIP

Boy did things turn dark. Definitely a Season 2 quality episode.
I think a good bit of misdirection in this episode. When "Toxic" was playing while Sheriff Roy was walking to the shed, I expected Dot to be gone when he got there. Also, I thought Danish was going to strike some sort of deal with Sheriff Roy so that he could gain control of JJL's empire. Instead, he tries to do the right thing.
I'm still not sure exactly how much of a villain JJL is in the story.
And I think we now know the location of the Fargo train station. Would the appropriate phrase be "go for a swim in the stock tank"? I completely failed to tie the windmill location back to Dot's dream sequence.

I agree he is great in the role, but he is only just now able to fully flex his muscles in it.zap said:

Definitely was introduced as a hard to like caricature level depiction of a snooty rich person, so we can acknowledge she is a flawed character. However, she is strong minded and get's things done, recognizes something special in deputy Olmstead and offers her a job, loves her son and has started to see Dot for the strong minded person she is, and clearly also sees Sheriff Roy as a comic but distasteful human. Since the end of episode 6 it seemed to me that strong women were grouping together to take down Roy, who considers women as property.torrid said:

Kind of hard to fit Munch into it all except as a comic entertaining character, but we will see how he ends up tying in to the final 2 episodes.
I mentioned this a while back in the thread, but I've started watching on Wednesday on Hulu because the broadcast quality is so much better.zap said:

What's the consensus on the show so far? Loved the first 2 seasons, thought 3 was okay, and got 2 episodes into 4 and quit.

2, 1, 5, 3, 4
This season has been up and down. Some episodes have really dragged and while they do a great job of building tension, it doesn't always pay off.
The most recent episode was the strongest one yet. Hoping the nail the landing.
Better than seasons 3 and 4, not as good as season 2, roughly on par with season 1 imo.
