I don't see an active speculation thread and I've had a theory since around episode 5 that I want to share. Actually a theory that my sister and I came up with together, which is important to acknowledge. Our theory -- Vargas, or one of his men killed Ennis. A desperate addict trying to steal something for his PO would never have killed him by gluing his mouth and nose closed. That is a vicious personal way to kill someone. We think Vargas is Ennis brother and that Ennis was his initial target motivated by revenge. We think that Vargas wrote the sci-fi novels, either by himself or better yet, co-wrote them with his brother who took both credit for them and the advance that he lost. As disgusting as Vargas is he is well read and articulate and seems more like a writer than Ennis. We took clues for this theory from early episodes. Vargas talked about Cain and Able only being the most famous of many estranged brothers in the bible. In the LA episode the waitress when talking to Gloria tells her that Ennis wasn't good either. Maybe the M in VM is for Mosely. By our theory Emmit only got caught up with Vargas because of some mistake on Vargas's part, maybe thought they were Ennis's sons. Or maybe he just wanted a cover to kill Ennis and make it look like Ennis was killed by mistaken identity. I can't wait for next week to see how it all ends. The biggest hole in that theory is that Varga was clearly taken by surprise by Gloria and her investigation. He had no info on her, her town or anything. They had so little information on the case he had to have Yuri steal the case file. If Varga ha planned to kill Ennis, he would know every little detail about his life, including his relationship to Gloria and all there was to know about Gloria. 6 Link to comment

SoothingDave June 16, 2017 Share June 16, 2017 8 hours ago, Lonesome Rhodes said: It's another example of the writers making Varga out to be a super-villain with unreal access to information. The problem is that the past few eps we have seen Varga as being severely limited and not so omniscient. The original Varga would never have made the mistakes which will prove to be his downfall. NIkki and Wrench are most sincerely dead. They are now in some extra-dimensional state. The instant I saw her, I recognized TPTB wanted us to see her as "angelic" and not as flawed/splotchy as she often was as the non-stop troublemaker she was. Another clue as to her new status is that she didn't do anything in the intervening 90 days to have captured Varga's interest. He needed her gone gone - not just in Canada or wherever. He absolutely had the means to track her. The Nikki we knew could not sit still for 90 seconds, let alone 90 days, without scamming or taking revenge. Another? They appeared out of nowhere, with a definite truck-jacking plan. They did not follow the truck (how would they have known when Stage 5 or whatever was even going to start????) else Meemo and the support SUV would have seen them. The road was deserted all the way. As much as I have ripped this and the recent eps, I did truly appreciate the specific quote as to evil that Varga shared. it was most assuredly NOT the "greatest trick" piece of it all. It was about how man is born evil, into evil, is equipped to do and deal with evil. Basically, original sin. The difficulty truly does come when man aspires to good - when conscience intervenes and demands we accept limitation. This necessarily means we demand it of others who may, mind you, not want to do with less. Boy, do I love the philosophical points Varga's observation touches upon. Hawley deserves great, great, credit for aspiring to have the show rise to such a high-minded place. He always does demand we think. Not only all that, but how would Nikki know who Varga is and have his phone number to call him? Or know where to find his hard disks and bank numbers. Someone else is filling her in on details. Whether that person is of this world or not is the question. (Also, where's the green VW?) 3 Link to comment

Liked the confession, Nikki confronting Varga, Gloria and Winnie, etc. I can't stand all the disgusting shit with Varga and I don't know what the showrunners are thinking with that. It is very difficult for TV viewers to deal with a deaf person. It is really marvellous the way these two have pulled this off. it was very difficult but they did a really great job. I'dlove to hear they decided to get married IRL. What a treat that would be. P.S. If you have never seen the movie "Smashed" (or maybe "Smash") starring MEW, it is well worth seeing just to see how completely different she appears to be in that film. Really, very, surprising. She sure does a great job in burying one character and bringing out a different one. She reminded me of that really great actor Meryl Streep! Truly excellent. She deserves an Emmy for that and I hope she gets it! I found it really difficult to believe this was the same person playing both of these characters. She is really terrific!

Eulipian 5k June 16, 2017 Share June 16, 2017 I remember next seeing the Corvette after Sy had hit it, and it was booted. The next sighting was at the hospital when Emmet thought it was in the spot he had parked his car. But at that time Gloria and Winnie were dogging him at the hospital so I thought it was Gloria's doing; (who else could remove the boot?) She thought Ray's death was a tit-for-tat for the robbery attempt/killing of Ennis. (She said that to Winnie during their phone call). I'm lost on explaining the stamps or the moustache, Nikki never saw the stamp in any episode, but only she knew about Ray dressing as Emmit. Maybe the Stamp is the real villain here: The Stamp caused the feud between the brothers, the Stamp tormented Ray, the Stamp finally killed Ray after trying for thirty years, then the Stamp came back to gaslight Emmit. Whadya expect for two cents? 5 Link to comment

As I posted above, I suspect they are secretly married and that he is enormously "henpecked" and she gives him orders and makes his life very unhappy. It's just my guess of course. But I can see how that would resolve several loose ends." I know that I'm repeating most of this. But it will be so exciting if it turns out to be true.

I have no issue if she is working with someone (not Wrench) on the "inside" - the assistant, Emmit - with more knowledge of what has been going on at Stussy Lots. I want Nikki to be competent and successful in exacting revenge but not on a superhuman level. Is there any other character that we are forgetting about who could surprise us: Sy's wife, Emmit's wife? There is a bit too much of "mystery" this season. Yes, I know that a spaceship showed up last year but I accept that as "Fargo Fun" rather than as an explanation of the outcome of events. IMO, Varga can be brought down by an unlikely and/or unexpected series of events but it shouldn't remain shrouded in mystery. Honestly, I don't think that Hawley will do it. 4 Link to comment

It's creepy and it's disturbing. I don't know what artistic purpose it serves to gross us out by showing us Varga sitting on the toilet eating rocky road ice cream and zooming in for an extreme close-up of his brown, decaying teeth. It's sort of like hitting us over the head with a ten ton weight what a slime this guy is. We already get it. We don't need to see him eating on the toilet and we don't need to see close-ups of his disgusting teeth chewing anything, thank you very much. The scenes with Nikki and Mr. Wrench were certainly entertaining, but they would have made ten times more sense if we hadn't seen last week's episode which threw into question whether those two characters are even alive anymore. At the end of the day I guess I'm just going to have to pretend that whole bowling alley scene never happened because at this point it doesn't really fit as part of the overall story. It needed some sort of follow-up showing Nikki and/or Mr. Wrench waking up in a puddle of blood in the middle of the forest, showing the whole bowling alley scene to have been a dream, or an out of the body experience. Without a scene like that it doesn't make any sense to just jump to where they were this week. And that's part of the problem with this show. While I'm enjoying this season far more than the previous two (thanks to the absence of tiresome mob characters mostly) it still thinks it's earned the right to go anywhere it wants. But to me, there's still too much of it that feels self-important and pretentious. It's gotten a lot better this season but there are still some missteps along the way the writers can't seem to curb. For what it's worth I had already drawn the parallel between the "I can help" robot and Gloria before this episode aired. Self important and pretentious? You should try Twin Peaks this season. Varga is fascinating. A slovenly Boss. I'm really enjoying the season now. This may have been my favorite episode. 2 Link to comment

I get into trouble whenever I post my wishes explicitly for what I would like to see happen to characters like this. So, suffice it to say that I so very much want to see him exposed as the incompetent imbecille he truly is. I want to see that happen in a most public forum. Perhaps at a press conference where the public finds out - in no uncertain terms - that as incompetent and pretentious as the new boss is, Gloria is just the opposite and it was Gloria who saved the day and found out the truth. I want to see some bad things happen to the chief but I have to stop before I go too far and get a warning. Let me just conclude by saying that it rarely happens for me that I get so involved in a TV show that I feel like these things are happening in real life.

Terrafamilia June 17, 2017 Share June 17, 2017 My take is that Nikki and Wrench aren't dead, they've been given a reprieve by Paul Marrane to bring down the wicked. Whether and for how long they go on after they have fulfilled that task is an open question. They've been using the last three months and the $10K to heal up and do the groundwork for when they made their move and that includes surveillance/reconnaissance. They probably ditched the green VW because as far as they know it belongs to someone else and could/would eventually be reported as stolen. I'm a little confused as to the idea that the widow Goldfarb and Varga are in cahoots. If that is the case why would Varga want Sy out of the picture when he was the one pushing for the sale to Goldfarb? 4 Link to comment

She can easily own a Great Lakes region business while living in St. Louis. If her business only had one location, then maybe it'd be worth living in that same location, but her business would have locations scattered all over multiple states.

Looks appear to mean a great deal to her, even if her own wardrobe and hair are oddly dated and strange; she BELIEVES she is elegant. Elegant, Mr. Varga is not. They don't seem to live together at all. Maybe their particular con game involves making people think they don't know each other at all. If I was Madam Goldfarb, that would be an ideal situation for me. Someone else would be most welcome to deal with his filthy habits. I would be ecstatic to have him live somewhere, anywhere, preferably near the opposite end of the globe. All in all, that arrangement just might suit the both of them - especially if they had an "open marriage" and both were free to enjoy the company of other people, animals, objects, slugs and filth of any manner of description. Madam Goldfarb has kept herself in remarkably fine condition and she is a very attractive lady. Especially when she keeps her mouth shut. Actually, both of them are far more attractive the longer they remain silent. The moment they speak, their desirability level plummets just like a dead turkey after being shot down during an Autumn hunt. Edited June 18, 2017 by MissBluxom 1 Link to comment
Macbeth June 19, 2017 Share June 19, 2017 I really love Gloria and Winnie's relationship. Winnie gave her a little poke and she basically turned Gloria on like a computer who can be recognized by other computers. that was cute. And the hug was a lovely moment. And Emmit had another great moment, brilliantly underplayed by McGregor, with his confession. Emmit isn't a showy role. I mean the man lives in a beige house. But his pain and bewilderment in this story has been well done for me at least. In the story of Peter and the Wolf - Emmit's role is that of the bird. 5 Link to comment

And while I don't enjoy watching people eat on the toilet, I thought the scene with Varga consuming ice cream was masterful. He was the Wolf consuming Emmit, slowly and methodically. Begging your pardon, but I looked it up ( on 2 sites), and his character is listed as V.M. Vargas. :) Link to comment
MisterBluxom June 19, 2017 Share June 19, 2017 Perhaps someone has negotiated with several sites to have his name listed in different ways - all the better to make us wonder - maybe even to make us quarrel. I've always thought the most popular site is IMDB and it just adds to this controversy: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2802850/fullcredits/ But, see what you think. In the end, it is your opinion that is the only one that should matter. Link to comment
