Lulee, "mumbly guy," that's a good way to think of him. I like so much of this series, but the parts I don't like drive me batty. The horsewoman/secret tunnel/etc. arc bores me to tears, and I hate Marco's inability to keep it in his pants.

Tippi, thanks for this. I might have missed it. Will be good to see Dillane in something in which he's not burning up people and making us wonder if he will kill his daughter. But there is the Sally Hemmings issue, so that won't be fun.

"In 10 hours we have had Muslim terrorists, the Russians and the Chinese. All we need is for some Somalian Pirates and the North Koreans to show up and the baddie parade will be complete." True, and also some run-of-the-mill white American folks - Navarro, Adrian, whomever Navarro had kill Jordan, etc. And who the hell are all the people in Adrian's office, the dead folks (how nice that they seem to have lain down conveniently as they were shot.) Want more Belchek!!!

Pepe Onziema is a class act. I loved that John was so delighted with him and supportive of him. "Sorry doesn't cut it." Yeah! Please keep him safe in Uganda, and all other LGBTI folks there and around the world.

Thank you, Eleanor Holmes Norton and the thousands of students and local activists who worked, sweated, experienced beatings, jailings, and in several cases death in the summer of 1964 to begin to change Mississippi. Thank you. Wonderful documentary, "Freedom Summer." If you didn't see it this week, look for it online.

Couldn't they have done the feedback loop almost as soon as they got to the stadium? There was a fair amount of time showing him on the mound. So he could have been golfcarted away pretty quickly, no?

Did Navarro kill the DoD guy, or just render him unconscious? Is anyone else really gobsmacked by Jack's actions this season? Yes, I know, he's killed people before, but the crap this season - shooting innocent people in the leg, knocking out god knows how many others, killing Ian and Margot - my god.

I'd also like to see them back, but don't know how that would work. Solving regular crimes is pretty much taken care of on so many other shows. And how many psychos would we believe just happened to end up in Bemidji. Aw, jeez, I just don't know. Showrunner, do some good thinking and figure out a way to keep this series going with Molly, Lou, Greta, and Gus.

Whom do you not want to come back? I'm confused.

Wasn't sure where to put this, but since people are reading a commenting here in real time, here's a news flash: Both Allison Tolman and Billy Bob Thornton won best performer awards at the Critics Choice ceremony last night, and Fargo won for Best Miniseries. Yay!

Well Read: "I think that all the suggested interpretations of the meaning of the wolf have some of the truth. Overall, I think the wolf represents the ever-present wilderness just outside the parking lots or just beyond the plowed roads. The time had come to remove an evil force that had released too much evil into the Fargo world and the wolf was sent to restore the balance." Thank you, and others who posit meanings for the wolf. None of them see the wolf as threatening, predatory, or any of the other things that wolves have had to suffer throughout their history. So obviously, none of you commenters would fit in well with the FWS or any other government agency. !!!

Chip Bach: "The wolf led Gus to the hideout earlier in the show, or did you mean earlier in the series? I'd like to think it was the soul of the dog Malvo killed gettin' even..." I like this. A lot.

Eyes, Glazed, I think Malvo realized that if he didn't get somewhere to deal with his leg, he was dead. We're talking bear trap here, not mouse trap. Actually, it's pretty unbelievable that he didn't bleed to death even taking off like a bat out of hell. Just realized. Lester bought in in Montana? Then it couldn't have been the same lake in which the two hitmen dumped one of their hits. I thought it was at first and laughed at the connection. But it can't be.

Oosala, yes, that would work. Thanks. So it was just the bright red car that allowed Gus to twig to Malvo's location, not that he knew something about the house and its owners. SO glad they weren't there.

"Lester didn't get it. He was never anything but a very small little man, even when he found his bravado, it was nothing more than a flimsy shell around his smallness." Wilson Cat, your statements above are just lovely. thanks. Okay, folks, I asked this one already and still now answer. Whose house was Malvo hiding out in? He didn't own a house in this town, did he?

"Looks like Malvo let him go. Good!" The Wild Sow, why do you think this? I must have missed something. But I hope it's true.

Whose house was that, where Malvo hid out? In real life, would Gus be charged with some kind of crime, since he was not a police officer and couldn't claim self-defense. I don't care about his action not being legal, you understand, just curious. Oh, god, I didn't realize it was the bear trap. I thought Lester had shot Malvo in the leg. He did get off one shot, no, before his gun jammed? Did the used car salesman die, or did Malvo just drop him off in a ditch. I thought that when he mentioned his daughter Malvo would give him a pass, as he did Gus at the beginning of the series. Are we supposed to think that Lester fell into the same hole that the two hit men dropped one of the characters into way back near the beginning. That haunted me, his complete helplessness as they fed him headfirst into the ice hole.

Oh, I'd pay good money to see that!

Conan, re your much earlier "I was good at it." It's Walter White, of course.

"Tyrion had just strangled the woman to death, but he just couldn't let her suffer the indignity of being called a whore." Skeeter, and also, the indignity, to Tyrion, of his being associated with a whore. It's true that GRRM is responsible for a lot of sexism, but I read a piece recently that describes how the show has upped that element. If I can find the post, I'll put it on here. (Roz will always be the most heinous of the changes.) Independent George, obviously I meant "sex workers" in my quote, which you picked up, but one can't edit one's words when they've already been highlighted in another post. Seamstresses, okay. Or, ladies of the evening.

Elzin, I so agree. Any lit/opera/drama/etc. set in this time period is going to be full of misogyny. Some we can handle, some we can't. There are characters in this series that I would dearly miss were I to institute a personal boycott, but I certainly understand if others take that route. I once made a list of the characters I'd like to keep and see them in a series, but couldn't see where that would lead (Davos, Shireen, Brienne, Tyrion, Varys, Asha, Sam and Jon, etc.) I mean, what would that look like? Speaking of Varys, don't you love that scene of him at the dock: Up the steps, bell sounds, down the steps. Hee

"Actually, the strangest thing about Tyrion killing Shae was that, as noisy as that fight seemed to us, Tyrion was maybe 30 feet away, completely oblivious, pooping away happily. Seven fucking gods! How much noise was his body producing that he was that completely oblivious? ETA: Maybe he does shit gold. It would tend to jingle and/or clunk quite a bit. When he told Cersei about the mines being empty, he simply meant he was constipated."  Cletus, hysterical, I love it. come back, Oberyn

Quote Emilia Clarke gave some of her best work in years. I'm not sure how she has more chemistry with CGI dragons than any Daario, but she does. Because the dragons are more realistic and lifelike? Mac123X - Hee, just hee I'd love to know what goes into creating the dragons. Don't understand CGI at all. Holmbo, actress Shae has done a better job than either book or show Shae. I feel really bad for both the character and the actress, as I do for several of the women. I think I, and others, just have to accept that GoTH is a misogynist series, and deal with it. Either read/watch it or not. Yet, it's important to keep criticizing the absolute crap that passes for sexual activity here. Fully nude women, shirt off men, really, author and show?

Thanks, Pete Martell (really, that's your name - did they have to get your permission to use it in the series - is Oberyn your brother or cousin). Anyway, thanks for the statements about Roz and Shae - and I think I'll use "sex workers" in the future instead of "whore," not that I've used "whore" currently. "Where sex workers go.. ."

Please don't kill Lou. Have had to suffer through one Keith Carradine murder this spring.
